Who smoked terrible tobacca
When the tigers came near
They trembled with fear
And didnt attempt to attacka !!

 Chosen by BobartTHIS HOUSE REMEMBERS ME by Tiggee
For many years I've lived in this house,
I know all of its odd little ways.
There's a break in the glass in the spare bedroom
Just to the left of the pane,
With a stain on the floor of the living room
Which was caused by a block in the drain.
A spider still lives in the hole in the wall
Just by the kitchen sink,
Could it be same one that was here the year
That we all moved in, do you think?
That scratch on the door was done one day
By the dog left an hour too long,
While the grandfather clock stands sentinel-like
In the hall, which is where it belongs.
Yes, everything sleeps in its allotted place
No shifting or turning about,
Except for the wife who once lay in the bed
Wasting away her life.
For she's broken her nails on the bricks that she bought
When she thought she might build a wall
As the others are cracked and gaping wide
And it's possible to silently crawl inside
Where if I sit still and am very quiet
Perhaps I won't feel so very tired.
The house with a creak settles down for the night
And I carefully tuck myself out of sight
In the house that remembers me.

WINNER OF THE APRIL CHALLENGE IS ADELE
April
Freed from ice and winter snow
Fields of crops begin to show
Gambolling lambs now appear
At this unique time of the year
Clouds part showing patches of blue
Allowing sunbeams to filter through
Pink Blossoms adorn established trees
And petals pirouette in the breeze
Crocus and bluebell put on a fine show
Bright yellow daffodils begin to grow
Streams meander o’er a pebbled bed
As badger rests its weary head
Little girls make deft Daisy chains
Little boys ride on miniature trains
Then grey clouds come into view
Changing the sky to a different hue
And all is not as it firsts seems
The weather changes, disturbing dreams
And April showers begin to fall
As Mother Nature pays a call
Running for shelter, adults huddle
As children play in the nearest puddle.

 GIRAFFE LIMERICK
You would need a very long scarf
If you happened to be a giraffe
You could get very hoarse
In the winter ,of course
And a cough is no cause for a laugh .!!!
