Comedian Carol Burnett
had a variety show I'll never forget.
She gave us much laughter and cheer,
sometimes just by pulling her ear.

FESTOONS
A day of festivity in fresh air
Festoons forming an entry pair
Gorgeous drapes of silky velour
Incense having their share
Festoons in the doldrums
As one is one less than twelve
As one is one more than eleven,
As one is one more than twelve,
All were not in a row.
Flowers bloomed and withered; Seasons fell and flew,
Sun rise and set; Dates turned,
Days formed months, months formed years.
Festoons in linear pair they were all in a row
Being 11 – 12 – 13
Their dreams in day fact
Festoons in a variety show
Flimsy tango and merry samba
Boris the Beagle
This is the story of Boris the Beagle,
Fearless and brave like Eddie the Eagle.
Ski jumps, sky dives, death defying dare,
Hang gliding stunts, spinning in the air.
High speed zip wire, Boris on the line,
Jumping off a bridge into the brine.
Planning a wing walk over the sea,
Strapped to a plane, how brave is he?
Bungee jumping down Niagara Falls,
Our Beagle abseils, skyscraper walls.
Invited to perform at the Royal Variety show,
But he’s flying with the Red Arrows,
So, unfortunately can’t go.
