Some culture for my more erudite readers, courtesy of Luther, from church, when he suffered from a wakeful night. You might say he tried counting puppies instead of sheep 😀

THOU NOBLE HOUND
O excellent Nina,
We salute thy rich fertility!
In the public arena
We have seen thy grand ability!
We salute thy rich fertility!
In the public arena
We have seen thy grand ability!
Ah see- thy six babies,
(In them thou delightest)
Not one bearing rabies,
Or ill in the slightest!
(In them thou delightest)
Not one bearing rabies,
Or ill in the slightest!
But vibrant pups, and bouncing,
And leaping; yea, and charging!
With joy we see them pouncing,
And ceaselessly enlarging!
And leaping; yea, and charging!
With joy we see them pouncing,
And ceaselessly enlarging!
Well done, thou noble hound,
For bearing, and for rearing!
Thy human kin have found
These things immensely cheering!
For bearing, and for rearing!
Thy human kin have found
These things immensely cheering!
Alas…
They soon shall not be near thee,
Thy lovely pups, so young and tender;
But we’ll go on to cheer thee,
And aye, this special time, remember
Thy lovely pups, so young and tender;
But we’ll go on to cheer thee,
And aye, this special time, remember
kkkkk
kkkkk

Nina's Puppies 
I love it! Such a clever poem and it says it all doesn’t it. Are you pup-free now? How’s Nina-girl coping. How are you coping?
I saw Ali earlier in the week – had a good chat. Past few days not been nice – usual problems being extra mean again. Paul brought round some lovely flowers from his garden tho yesterday which look beautiful in my living room. They do good things to my brain I hope you were able to enjoy your birthday Janet-love. Bye for now Janexx
