Autumn Splendor
By Elise Natalie Brady

There’s a little twinge of sadness
When Summer disappears,
But Autumn brings new gladness
And joys this time of year.

Down! Down! Yellow and brown
The leaves are falling over the town. ~Eleanor Farjeon

Autumn is a second Spring
When every leaf is a flower. ~Camus~

Such a sad poem - I 'hope' someone was listening.

Beautiful Autum picture!

I'm going to 'run over' to the Finest for a bit. Have a great evening. :)

Sad poem, but remember one kind word can warm three winter months.

Thanks!
I usually write gothic stuff anyway.
But once in a blue moon a romance theme will pop out.
But that is kinda rare, admittedly.

Not really my thoughts, actually.
I wrote it after hearing a song.

BROKEN HEARTED LOVERS STEW
by Benny Hill

And there's a heartache and a memory and just a tear or two
In a broken-hearted lovers' stew

There are nine carrots to remind me of the ring I bought for you
Some mint for all the crazy things that we 'mint' to do
A lettuce, 'cause your Mum and Dad would not 'lettuce' alone
I won't put in the truffles, you've got truffles of your own

An artichoke for the hearty jokes your father used to tell
And as he was a Welshman we'll have a leek as well
And your cousin, the religious one, so sanctimonious
For him some loafs and fishes 'cause that's all he ever does

And there's a heartache and a memory and just a tear or two
In a broken-hearted lovers' stew

There's a radish 'cause you kept repeating that your love was true
A beetroot for the time I said that I'd beetroot to you
Some shallots for the time I said I love you such shallot
Some capers to remind me of what up to which we got

A turnip for the way you always used to turnip late
A melon for the melon-choly way I used to wait
A chilli for how I felt as I waited for you
And a marrow to remind me of what I was frozen to

And there's a heartache and a memory and just a tear or two
In a broken-hearted lovers' stew

There's a swede to remind me of the man you left for me
An egg because you used to egg me on incessantly
And your little baby brother, what a messy little kid
For him some wine and water, 'cause that's all he ever did

Oh, I was fond of olives and you liked herbs I know
I gave up seeing Olive but Herb didn't want to go
So for the man who won you, there is one thing I must do
Put in some sage and onions 'cause he wants stuffing too

And there's a heartache and a memory and just a tear or two
In a broken-hearted lovers' stew

"'Take a clean dish and....'"'

Yep! That stops me every time!
I don't know why it HAS to be clean!
By the time you get all the stuff in the recipe in it, those dried scrambled eggs aren't going to be noticed anyway!

LOL

Thanks for bringing us another Benny Hill.

Goodnight, Colleen.

Sweet dreams ..... "There is always tomorrow" sounds so much better than "Wait until next year".
Good Luck tomorrow.

LOL

The directions should say .... "take a relatively clean dish". After all, clean is a frame of mind!

Good night, Cal. Pleasant dreams.

We look forward to seeing the unicorns tomorrow morning.
