dcmarti1 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I was teasing badger11 that his posted "Q" beat me to it, so he changed his to "La Porte de l'Enfer". My "Q" is fluff. I was just playing around with homonyms, the tritina form, and some English allusions & imagery. Enjoy in the spirit in which it was written. "A. Pope" = Alexander Pope. Martha was a friend, or mistress -- depends. Charley was King Charles II, the restored monarch after the Protector Oliver Cromwell. Skegness is a rockin' resort town in the east of England! Kew is a royal botanic garden. Q I'm none too swift. I always need a cue Even just to join a very long queue Like those at Skegness, even those at Kew. I think it was A. Pope who wrote on Kew And King Charley's dog. He needed no cue: Alex had only Martha in his queue! I wonder what guys would be in my queue? Would I prefer those from Skegness or Kew? That's a moot point: I still need someone's cue. Just give me a cue for the queue at Kew! February 2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
