Floxing Fans

Jacob got so jealous of all the attention that Rilla has received from her last blog entry that he decided to do one of his own... as you can see, he didn’t get very far!

I’ve recently started posting some of my writing on a writer’s community forum and have earned myself a little admirer from a compilation of bits from my past blogs. Here’s the e-mail I received after my first post;

SCORE – I’m in there!! Hahaha I obviously didn’t reply to her but have had oodles of fun passing round the email to all of my friends. The funniest bit was when I got to the end and saw it was off a “Miss” Floxy! Do you think she wants to be my thai bride??

I have discovered a special new talent of mine over the last few weeks, I have found that I am capable of turning any special occasion into a celebration of me – here is a poem I wrote in my parents 35^th wedding anniversary card;

Look at you now, you’re 35^th year,

Through many a spritser and keg full of beer.

The ear hairs have sprouted, nasal ones too,

But you still fancy each other like you did at 22.

All of these years later I’m sure you’ll agree;

That the best thing to come out of the marriage has to be me!

Likewise, here’s the one I wrote for my sister’s wedding anniversary;

Four years behind you, many more ahead,

What was it that made you decide to get wed?

Was it for the presents, wedding gifts piled high?

Or was it for the honeymoon? Any excuse to fly.

Was it for the Limo ride that left your neighbours in awe?

Or was it simply that glynne’s got good taste, and chose a world-class sis-in-law?

Have I got a self obsessed talent or what??

I want to say thanks to Andy for all of your comments, much appreciated, and Rilla is very impressed with your Mysty’s writing skills although she still thinks she is better! Love the sound of your friend’s Christmas quacker!
