It could have been elsewhere
It could have been elsewhen
It could have been France
It could have been 1792
But it is not.
It is a time for which aristos like my good self
Should be grateful.
Rather than peering into the basket
While tricoteuses knitted distractedly,
Todays tricoteuses
With a simpering deference
Knit bonnets in red, white and blue
To set on pillar boxes.
It truly is the Best of Times…

Cock au Van on the A6 - a tasty dish for the upwardly mobile.
Honest !
Not me, guv! I was in Pizza Express!
Thanks, Uilleam. I recollect studying “Isabella or the Pot of Basil” by Keats for “O” level. Personally, I prefer chicken in a basket.

Speaking of heads in baskets...😏
By a "timely" coincidence, last night I watched a documentary involving a painting titled:
"Judith and her Maidservant with the head of Holofernes" by Orazio Gentileschi.

Thanks for your thoughts, Uilleam. I’m always up for cake, Greg.
And thanks for the Likes, Stephen A and Manish.
Let them all eat cake ...

I seem to remember actress Gillian Taylforth enjoyed coq au van.
