Quotation for Monday 15th June 2020

Good morning to you all,

You'll have to excuse me today, as my 'quotation' is actually a little verse I found in one of my poetry books last night, when reading in bed. I've had the book for years and I can't imagine how I've missed this little gem for so long. I can't resist sharing it with you as it made me laugh out loud. It's from a poet by the name of Harry Graham, who I had never heard of. On investigation I discovered he was actually quite famous for his humorous and often grotesque verses. I shall be looking for more of his work.

Mr Jones

"There's been an accident!" they said,

"Your servant's cut in half: he's dead!"

"indeed!" said Mr Jones, "and please

Send me the half that's got my keys."

- Harry Graham, 1874-1936 -

Hope you enjoyed that, and that you all have a good day today. πŸ™

Made me laugh x

That's a good one, that did bring a smile to my face and it's old style humour which I much prefer. Well spotted.

Hope you've had a good day.

Take care
