A Bucket Full of Buttercups

I'm fed up with Brussels....

 

A Bucket Full of Buttercups

 

He gave her a bucket full of buttercups

That went with her marmalade hair

She said graze signor

Would you now care to take me somewhere

That I’ve never been taken before

 

Then he gave her a boot full of daisies

That went with her white cotton slip

She said merci monsieur

Would you now care to take me somewhere

That I’ve never been taken before

 

He gave her a boat full of forget me nots

That went with the blue of her eyes

She said Blagodarya vi gospodine

Would you now care to take me somewhere

That I’ve never been taken before

Then he gave her a cartload of turnips

That went with nothing at all

She said Danke mein Herr

Would you rather prefer a blooming

Good kick in the balls………

All words in italics basically mean the same thing children.. in effect 'Thank you sir'

Spanish, French, Bulgarian and German. What was that about Brussels? Would that be sprouts by any chance :) Your poetry never ceases to amaze me. Buttercups, daisies and forget-me-knots, are charming. I'd take them too. Turnips? They need roasting. So much to think about here, very entertaining Neville.

Cheers Chris... could not find Belgian/Flemish for thank you sir... Was originally trying to take a pop at Brussels for some of the ridiculous rulings they make and impose... failed miserably there tho.... Neville x

[Chris Shaw]

On the contrary, your pop shot at Brussels came through loud and clear. This was clever stuff.

Who needs television when we have you to entertain us! Love this! ; )

[Neville]

But dont give up the day job eh'.... A bunch of thank you's blown in your direction.... :) Neville

I love this spoof on the tired old romantic spiels we are fed often! Now THIS is how love really goes! You can deliver a caustic edge in a subtle way like no other! Also, your originality is off the charts. In some weird way, this helps satisfy my hunger for bizarre contrary tweaked tales of the Halloween variety! *wink! wink!* fondly, Margie

[Neville]

Spoof, what spoof.. I was in earnest I tell thee.. Ouch said Ernie.. Cheers Margie... now where did I put that darn parsnip again... nug nug Neville

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

So, off topic...do you speak all those languages Nev.? Of just the ones that incline a woman to clock you? lol

[Neville]

English and Bulgarian only, the latter not half as well as I would like... on reflection, neither of them as well as I would like... Ta Queenie, I take it, I've just been clocked in the literary sense...

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

I just thought you'd like to try to take an American woman where she'd never been.(wink wink) we are a wee bit snarkier than the rest.

[Neville]

Give me an hour.. am not sure I can get a direct flight from Bristol nudge nudge...

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

I would be in flight by the time you got a connection LOL time is a beggar and funeral duty is calling. Thanks for the lightening the load today.Be back on the ground soon!

[Neville]

Safe landing.. I just hope I can get a refund.... Hey, any cafe folk want a good deal on a one way air ticket to the States....

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

I hope to fly back to Germany and maybe Ireland one day...

[Neville]

I hope that wish comes true for you.... N
