Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
There is always someone who gets under your skin

Old Lady Prattle

by Claire Tennant

That wee horror has done it again
bosses me about even by pen
I'd call her... you know that word
a female dog, but it's absurd
affection? She knows not the meaning of the word
creating merry mayhem


She is short and cunning, and her hair is grey
so is mine but I combed it today
it seems I am more critical than she
maybe we are alike how very twee
perhaps both of us are that word
yet I trust animal affection that's not absurd
