Here is a poem especially written and performed for my book launch of Girl’s Got Rhythm by Catherine Crosswell—it raised many a smile 🙂
Pollyfilla
By Catherine Crosswell
Miss Polly
had a dolly
with a lolly
and a brolly
she did walk her border collie
with best friends Molly and Holly.
They did find a wayward trolley
and by golly it was jolly
so they decided all to climb inside
WHEEEEEEeeeee
there were no brakes to end their folly
and after a kerb to kerb volley
all sadly ended up in a ditch
feeling oh so melancholy
But mainly massive Wallies.

You’re not a wally! You had a perfectly good reason to be in that trolly! Don’t let anybody tell you different.

Not just a filler, neatly constructed, a real killer.

Oh, this was so much fun on the night – just a little worried you might put me in a shopping trolley now though! 😉

You were all perfectly safe during the entire journey. No broken bones, it was a very soft ditch.
I like the idea of ‘Shopping for Holly’ 🙂

You are more than welcome!! It is an excellent book – I still keep picking it up and reading various poems again and again!
Just a note… I first bought it on my kindle and then bought the book!! Just to let you know on a few pages in the book the printing is quite feint – almost as though the cartridge was running low – hoping it’s not a flaw in all of your books. Just thought I’d let you know.

Thanks for your reply, Alex. I’m quite concerned that the printing is faint—thanks again for letting me know—I’ve emailed the publishers already (you won’t be surprised to know!) 🙂

Oh good – it’s not cheap to publish – so you expect good quality – I will indeed email them and let them know!
Just thought I’d feed back to you as most readers may not feedback, being as I have a hotline to you… hehe 🙂
