Who Won the Week (25 July 2021)
In response to Fandango’s Who Won the Week posts, I have been looking at my own newsfeeds.
Do you remember my post last week?
IRelieved

While at college my friend was a dandy,
But caught pox one night when feeling randy,
Abstained calendar year,
Till he got the all clear,
Which was good news indeed for his handie.
Back from vacation. More later.
Who Won the Week (18 July 2021)
In response to Fandango’s Who Won the Week posts, I have been looking at my own newsfeeds.

A street-cleaner friend from Alsace,
Kept his home looking spotless, first class,
Meticulous, thorough,

Touring kingdom, king passed by some trees
Breathed in pollen and gave a great sneeze
His knees started to swell,

Dutch Elm Disease is a fungus which attacks mainly elm trees, often with fatal consequences. It gets around, spreading through both Europe and North America, although it is thought to have originated in Asia. It only acquired the name Dutch because it was first pinpointed by Dutch botanists in the 1920s.
Dragging It Out
This is my response to the Flashback Track Friday prompt, where we were given Got To Give It Up by Marvin Gaye and challenged to:
Write about something that you need to give up.

Made his fortune from mining and blasting,
Built a church, promised life everlasting,
But his tomb in Pine Hill,
Now makes fine urinal,
In a fate we might say in contrasting.
