Here is a poem especially written and performed for my book launch of Girl’s Got Rhythm by Catherine Crosswell ~ it raised many a smile
Pollyfilla
By Catherine Crosswell
Miss Polly
had a dolly
with a lolly
and a brolly
she did walk her border collie
with best friends Molly and Holly.
They did find a wayward trolley
and by golly it was jolly
so they decided all to climb inside
WHEEEEEEeeeee
there were no brakes to end their folly
and after a kerb to kerb volley
all sadly ended up in a ditch
feeling oh so melancholy
But mainly massive Wallies.

You’re not a wally! You had a perfectly good reason to be in that trolly! Don’t let anybody tell you different.

Not just a filler, neatly constructed, a real killer.

Oh, this was so much fun on the night – just a little worried you might put me in a shopping trolley now though!

tee-hee, ending up in a ditch having shouted WHEEEeeeeh, doesn’t look so bad

You were all perfectly safe during the entire journey. No broken bones, it was a very soft ditch.
I like the idea of ‘Shopping for Holly’

Thanks Alex. And many, many thanks for your reveiw of Girl’s Got Rhythm on Amazon ~ how very kind of you ~ glad you’ve enjoyed it

You are more than welcome!! It is an excellent book – I still keep picking it up and reading various poems again and again!
Just a note… I first bought it on my kindle and then bought the book!! Just to let you know on a few pages in the book the printing is quite feint – almost as though the cartridge was running low – hoping it’s not a flaw in all of your books. Just thought I’d let you know.

Thanks for your reply, Alex. I’m quite concerned that the printing is faint ~ would you consider writing to Lulu to tell them? (they’re the publishers) only I think they’ll be more likely to listen to a paying customer than the writer (!) If you access ‘Help’ on the http://www.lulu.com website you should be able to email them on that page.
Thanks again for letting me know ~ I’ve emailed them already (you won’t be surprised to know!)

Oh good – it’s not cheap to publish – so you expect good quality – I will indeed email them and let them know!
Just thought I’d feed back to you as most readers may not feedback, being as I have a hotline to you… hehe
18/11/2012 at 16:23
You’re a darling ~ thank you ~ glad we have the ‘hotline’ ~ heh-heh
18/11/2012 at 21:40
Thank you again, Alex ~ I’ve deleted but kept a copy … how mysterious this looks
