Ask Not For Whom the Bell Tolls

Ask not for whom the bell tolls Said little fairy bell sitting in the meadow Among the Prim Roses reflecting, the sun’s glow The Cow Slips in the rain The Lady Smock trips on her train Ask not for whom the bell tolls The Snap Dragon bites, the Willow Weeps The Baby’s tear’s, it often weeps So ask not for whom the bell tolls The fox has new gloves The mother in law a tongue, the lily is for peace, So ask not for whom the bell tolls The Blue bell, Cow bell the Canterbury bell The White bell Pink and Oconee bell Please ask not for whom the bell tolls The Bell flower the Chilean bell The Chinese bell and all So when asked for whom the bells tolls I say it tolls on all bells in the fall. © Mandy Tams 3/08/2015 Local names for bell shape flowers .

Would you believe it has taken Harry's death to make me re-read some of my poems, he used to re-read and comment all the time, I was bad at that and missed out on some wonderful comments, thank you, Karam xx

Oh I am so sorry you missed it Mandy - such a unique take on the theme - guess we have all found the same issue and get to post then find the contest has closed - it is a shame I think Debbie would have loved it - why not soup mail her ask her to have a read:-) hugs Jan xx
