'Bubble' the taste of Heaven and Bethnal Green

 


Life seen through ‘Bubble’


There are many vegetables in this world

So why not take the trouble

To collect the veg from your very last meal

And fry yourself some ‘Bubble’


You may poach your asparagus carefully 

To avoid the texture of stubble

You can cook your stew cordon bleu

But it still won’t taste like ‘Bubble’ 


I’ve never heard ‘Bubble’  squeak

Though I’ve ‘mashed it’ to a puddle

You can cream your corn until the cows come home

But it still won’t taste like ‘Bubble’ 


It works so well with any chosen ‘main’

And as ‘a selected side’ you should go double

It eats real well with a ‘smoked salmon bagel’

Because nothing quite tastes like ‘Bubble’.

A Crescent Moon and the planet Venus in conjunction to bring in the New Year 2025

 


“I'm not getting it Ted”

"The Moon and Venus looking both bright and leaner.

Following Newtonian directions in an ink black sky.

Bump into one another right next to our verbena.

Is one bigger than the other or just  further away?

Is one very very hot and one very very cold?

Just by looking up and out, I cannot possibly say"

Very Santa Problems No6

 


" Just saying boys! I'm no longer sure whether Mrs.Claus is still buying into the; 'twinkly eyes', the 'big round tummy', the repetitive 'Ho-Ho-Hoing', 'mucking out the reindeers once a day' , 'cooking and cleaning for you lot 24-7' and living 'up North' in the land of perpetual snow and ice".

Moose thought of the Day

" Bullocks - Christmas Eve and still no offers of pantomime or seasonal sleigh pulling work!"

Very Santa Problems No4

 


"I don't 'believe in Sat-Navs' but remind me, does Rudolph have to turn left or right when we get to Iceland?"
