Hey Diddle Diddle

The cat lay recumbent upon the luthier's bench
among violin carcasses and something French.
Morning cows making their way to the milking stool
stepped over a reflected moon in last rain's pool.
The farmer's little dog yapped in obvious glee
at the potential for milk, some butter, or ghee.
The Potters reflected on the note they've just seen.
Their dishy young girl, eloped, with boy from canteen.

This is so cute. And how cool to get in the rhyming word ghee.

This is great, such good bouncy fun, Terry. Your Imagination runneth over and I love to readeth rover. I've not commented as of late due to an injured hand (better now, yes, thank you, no worries). I've only posted with the help of my husband and son which led to laughter rather than violence. I believe you left me some comments; I appreciate that very much. Take care
