Comb your hair!

Comb Your Hair

For Heaven’s sake stop playing Aphrodite,
Wearing a dress like a young bride’s nightie.
And while you’re about it
Comb your hair,
A hell of a lot of vine leaves there.
Baccharties are out,
You’ll not make the grade.
You weren’t at RADA
You weren’t at the SLADE.
You really are Cooper’s Marmalade,
Bitterly sweet and chunkily sliced,
Yet- Cooper’s marmalade is nice!

Is the the marmalade that is very thick and comes in a wee stone jar?

Good poem!

[ciderman_nz]

I think it did, Monsy! It was lovely too! Can't get it now- at least not in the little stone jars.

Keiller's Dundee Marmalade used to come in a stone jar.
And do you remember the blue and white boxes of Keiller's Chocolate Ginger. Gorgeous.

There you go Michael! I still get it from a wonderful shop in Northallerton whenever I can get down there....

It looks just as in the picture on the street frontage, but it just keeps going back, and back, and back forever, and it's full of all the things you have long forgotten even existed. A must to visit if ever near there, I love the place!





Oh, and the poem was good too!

I have just bought a bit of root ginger which I snapped in two. I have planted one and put a plastic bag over it in the kitchen window, the other I have pierced with a cocktail stick and placed over a glass of water.

I lurv ginger as well.

It's very good for travel sickness. We have herbal/ginger travel sickness pills for the dogs.

[Orchidea]
