A Bottle of Physick
This week’s choice is “The Recumbent Posture” by Marriott Edgar and I have chosen it for those of my friends and family who have been suffering from the usual seasonal ailments.
Per Gallon, Per Second, Per Squirt
I originally chose another poem for this week, but “The ‘Ole in the Ark” by Marriott Edgar seems a lot more appropriate as Storm Babet continues to flood the country.
Tuppence Per Person Per Week
This week’s choice is the sequel to “Albert and the Lion” which I covered in June 2020, in which we discover what happened after his unfortunate adventure.
Determined, but Moist
This week’s poem is “Three Ha’pence a Foot” by Marriott Edgar, marking the fact that our traditional English rain dances are having their usual effect on the summer weather.
Lightening the Mood
Time to change the mood I think, so I’ve chosen poetry that amuses me this week, and I hope it will amuse you too.
