Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

'Better Late than Never' Strikes Again

     The indelible stamp
        of my favorite aunt
      my birthday gift arrived
        seven months late

      Yet unwrapping the newspaper
        was well worth the wait
      Though the fruit cake was moldy ~
        The ‘London Times' was first-rate

Kim Rodrigues July 24, 2024 at 5:57 AM Everything’s late, even the news though this week’s been hopping! I’m limping from the rough ride…and where in the world is Waldo? (rambling, waiting to see what is clear…) Moldy fruit cake…impossible…lol Gershon Wolf July 25, 2024 at 6:26 PM Better late than never doesn't always apply. Can't always have your cake and eat it too. ~ gw

Jan Allison July 24, 2024 at 1:03 AM made me smile GW - someone I know sent a birthday cake from Bulgaria to the Uk - she had covered it with marzipan ... which confused the sensors as it can be thought to be plastic explosives ... as it was unsure of the contents of the package the cake got blown to smitereens! hugs jan xx Gershon Wolf July 25, 2024 at 6:22 PM Pretty funny, Jan. Thanks for sharing. ~ Gershon
