I think I had that exact version. Love that way of driving folk crazy! We all need some nonsense verse … grown ups in particular. Thank you for the kind words. There are bound to be some Notes. Cakes I Have Eaten, Hills Inspiring Words … that sort of thing.
Thank you so much for the mention! By the way, those who follow me on Notes will see a daily posting of Edward Hopper’s sketches and paintings from his time in Paris!
Those Vorwoold pictures are beautiful.
Isn’t it astonishing how many forms art takes, Matt.
Such a great post and I loved the photos from Scotland!
Very happy memories painting in the vivid colours of a Scottish Autumn.
Thank you very much for the mention.
A great pleasure.
This is such a gorgeous post and so generous. And thank you (and Susie) for the kind mention! Lovely to see Lear so loved. ❤️
A great pleasure to read, relish and share your words.
Happy (early) birthday!
Thank you, Bri. It’s gonna be a HUGE one!!
The Puffin Book of Nonsense Verse! Did you have that one Barrie? I dont think I let it out of my sight from the age of seven to ten years!!
The Courtship of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bò was my absolute favourite... I think I drove my poor mum and dad mad reciting those verses...
"On the Coast of Coromandel
Where the early pumpkins blow,
In the middle of the woods
Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bò.
Two old chairs, and half a candle,--
One old jug without a handle,--
These were all his worldly goods:
In the middle of the woods,
These were all the worldly goods,
Of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bò,"
I am so glad you found Jeffrey's fabulous post!
Safe travels, I hope you have a moment to pop in from time to time, I will miss these posts immensely! 💛

A great pleasure. Thank you for rippling out our little celebration of others.
