Happy Friday - Friends Met In The Garden

How GLUM to be a centipede,
Hearing it’s going to rain,
And have to put on wellingtons,
- A hundred, what a pain.
And his fifty golfing brollies,
All colours you can name,
Must quickly be unfurled and upped,
Oh really, what a bane,
And last a HUGE great mackintosh,
He buttons all along,
Only to hear that once again,
The forescast’s got it wrong.

Great poem. I've added it to GoYpedia Wellies ..
"one hundred wellingtons" has to qualify ;o)
I hope you're enjoying GoY !

Centipede asked me to say that he is very thrilled to be included in GoYpedia - I fear a lack of modesty might overtake him, so please limit your congratulatory remarks when you meet his relatives whilst gardening - thank you.

Aha! Another "Witty" Goyer - you're going to get on very well here, Robert.

Welcome to GoY Robert...great poem!
I'm sure his relatives will be pleased to learn of his nomination :)
13 Jan, 2012
Now not only on GoYpedia Wellies ...
but I've nominated for GoYpedia Poems...
I hope the centipede can cope with all this fame ...
... please prepare 100 Oscar acceptance speeches ...
... one for each Wellie ... ;o)

I did, Sticki! She's always good value. For some reason I always thought she came from somewhere like Norfolk with her accent. Didn't catch the whole programme, unfortunately - trying to dish up dinner at the same time.
