Notes About The Poem

Lord Rupert Davy

Lord Rupert Davy
despised lumpy gravy
His cook used a strainer
it was a no brainer!

Hope you are on a retainer so we do't lose you as an entertainer. Effort appreciated as it is not so easy for most of us to produce this kind of poetry in current climate. Our grandson turned 2 on 2nd. We are making most of summer here. Homemade pies and jam made by yours truly, barbecues at my daughters newly acquired house in our street. Pigging out on tomatoes and other goodies from garden. Take care David in NZ

I really, really, really want there to be a Lord Rupert Davy... he should be an M.P. He could be minister for taking STOCK of the Gravy Train. Love this, Jan, it just kinda works. Terry

lol Terry just a made up name I just LOVE the puns in your comment lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Clever write. Nobody likes lumpy gravy.

February 19, 2021 at 3:16 PM

Got to say my gravy is always excellent not lumpy at all:-) hugs jan xx

February 19, 2021 at 2:05 PM

don't know if this is a real person or not, jan, but the poem just flows as smoothly as... unlumpy gravy, i guess!

February 19, 2021 at 3:02 PM
