That Shallot

So every year she plants some seeds
She tends to all their growing needs
Keeping the soil free from weeds
Her tidy vegetable plot
No peas or carrots does she grow
Just Alium Cepa row on row
She won a prize in't Cheshire show
The lady of shallot

with apologies to Alfred Lord Tennyson

Thanks Cynthia.
She's had it coming. Ever since she broke that mirror!

Well - I really laughed. A little humour at the expense of fine poetry suits me fine - when it's so obvious, you can just enjoy the fun.

Sorry Harry.
But you know I'll do anything for a cheap laugh.

Dave,
Will you show a bit of respect!...(and yet, somehow, this makes me want to cry and cry and cry)
