I'm all of myself, uttered at once - stuttered regret at my lack of mystery although until now I have never shared that I can whistle "The Birdie Song" perhaps I'll have unexplored depths after any number of reveals

Whistling dixie, you made it to the oldest tree in Paris, (I read it's older than the French Revolution) it's nice to be along on your mystery achievement, maybe that's the birdie song, love the pretenders. never give up your dreams. Happy travels DD!

Did the Pretenders cover the birdie song or famously whistle? Lol. I went to Petit Palais, so hopefully I'll ekphrase some of those paintings for further evidence haha. Thanks for your comment :) it is a fascinating tree :)

It’s small wonder that tree is standing at all Dilly with those vines trying to strangle the life out of it, (The Birdie Song) how clever is that (not the song) lol! but using it here to great metaphorical effect, hope you’re enjoying the city of lights, cheers David :)

Had a brilliant time, thanks David :) the ivy bit is apparently a disguised concrete support (probably another poem in that - would need to decide if a limerick or philosophical haha). When I posted this the first captcha was "hmm" PS getting sassy about whether it qualified as a poem lol thanks for seeing my meaning :)
