Dear Liza!
By Katanga
23 June 2008
Well, I'm embarrassed, but what the _ _ _ _ ?

Bedtime Zebedee, methinks?

Oh ho!

Cheers!

Dear Liza

 

Dearest Liza,

it has come to

my attention

that I now have

a problem with

my good bucket . . .

 

You see, the thing is,

I have a hole

in my bucket

dear Liza . . .

Dear Liza,

there is a hole

in my bucket . . .

 

Oh bother it!

 

Yours sincerely,

KTJ X

I agree with you entirely - in posting this, I also missed anything of significance . . . 
 
I try to vary the sublime with the ridiculous, if you get my drift? 
 
This is definitely sublime . . .Oh, I weep again! 
 
It's just a light jokey (joky) ditty . . .  
 
Inspired by more jolly red wine than sense, I'm afraid!  
 
I'm trying to have a laugh with the idea of 'register' . . . 
 
I start with formal letter-writing, move into the children's song and end with an implied unprintable profanity (although the revered and much-respected-by-me Brett got away with it recently . . .) 
 
Pretentious, Moi? 
 
Oh fuck it! (internal / external rhyme with 'bucket'???!) 
 
Ha! Ha! Ha! 
 
Maybe it's just schoolboy humour, of which I am 100% guilty - well, you know my obsession with all things lavatorial?! 
 
I think I may 'take a back seat' for a while and concentrate on reviewing, which I love . . . 
 
Cheers!
