Jack Horner II
Written by fellpony
24 June 2008
In response to Josie's smell-in-the-corner poem.

It’s a terrible fact
that Jack Horner lacked
an awareness of going or coming.
He made smells and noise
but the truth is that boys
have vastly inferior plumbing.

Oh Superb!

Whaaaaarh! (just to quote you, misspelt, from a previous, FP). 
 
Ah, Coming or Going - do you know 'The diary of a nobody'? 
 
The two MCs are called 'Coming' and 'Going' . . . 
 
Very much 'Three Men in a Boat' type of 'tragi-humour'. 
 
The best, like the film 'Withnail and I' 
 
Oh dear, I'm chortling terribly and off to review whatever tickles my fancy! 
 
Chortle chortle . . . John X

Ah, yes, George and Weedon Grossmith ... GG was one of the D'Oyly Carte company's original cast, you know, and died of a drug addiction.
Yes indeed!

Just googled it - yes indeed! 
 
Written in 1892 . . . 
 
Gosh! Human nature doesn't change, eh? 
 
Ha! Ha! Ha! 
 
Yo! 
 
In my dreams I am going on a seven-mile trip, up and down gentle hills (like you, today?) in a chariot pulled by your swiftest fell pony . . . . 
 
Whoooooer! 
 
The nearest I've come to that sort of experience is motorbike racing - but that's another story! 
 
Yo!

Dear John

I have never been compared to a gentle hill before, so thank you :)  
 
I did indeed go driving today as you imagined - or was that you in the microlight?
Dear Fellpony!

I'm not . . . (what's the word?) . . . nee- noo nee- noo. 
 
Somewhere else on this site, while I was reviewing, I saw you say you had just come back from a seven-mile journey in your 'chariot' - I was, and am still, impressed! 
 
Where was I? 
 
Ah yes! 
 
I wish, in my dreams, to fly in a microlight over your soft hills . . .  
 
Good lord - I feel a poem coming on!  
 
Beware! 
 
Oh Ho ho! 
 
Love and respect!
