James Bond was a man of talent
to female adversaries oh so gallant
but despite their deadly power or beauty
serving Queen and country remained his duty

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #368 #What your granny wouldn’t tell you
It was as late as nineteen forty one
when to our war-torn shores came Americans
so while the British tommies were away fighting
the girls at home found that quite exciting
to do their duty was really quite plain
these amazing visitors should be entertained
who introduced with razzmatazz
the jive, the jitterbug and all that jazz
officers, enlisted men, they all seemed grand
in this quaint, still almost Edwardian land
when asked if they could get acquainted
modestly the reply was, Oh my sainted
Aunt, whatever are you trying to say?
before agreeing to a roll in the hay.

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #328 #Can you remember?
Between nineteen sixty and about eighty three
when the record store was the place to be
Hallmark in blue was the label sought
as to save a bit of cash their records bought
for instead of buying each band’s latest hit
they were there all together on one disc
about twenty songs on each were found
and you sang along as it went round

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #283 #Customs and practices
Though the clocks have been put back one hour
I hope it will not affect adversely our
custom whereby we British pour
ourselves a cup of tea around four
on each weekday afternoon
often in the drawing room
although this demonstration of English taste
seems to have been rather displaced
such beverage would not be complete
without a tray of dainties to eat
and if you decided you would risk it
you could choose to dunk a biscuit

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #257 #Isn’t nature wonderful
The glow worm is a quite
small bug that goes out at night
he has a luminous bum
to invite females to come
and check out the eerie green light.

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #250 #Wordsearch
I will tell you a curious story
The point of it will soon become clear
Not sure if it’s true but this was told to me
So I will just pass on something quite queer
A young girl went riding on her family’s estate
Despite warnings she preferred to ride alone
Now begins the mystery as to her fate
Because on this occasion she didn’t return home
Her riderless pony was found wandering down the lane
And poor Miriam Anne Quinton was never seen again.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #171 My lucky day
Whilst flying high up in the sky
something of interest I did spy
so carefully looking all around
I wheeled and swooped down to the ground
imagine my surprise to see
a tasty morsel just for me
but in truth I thought it wrong to steal
what had been someone else’s meal
whose it once was I could not tell
so being hungry thought, “what the hell,
I’ve had nothing else to eat
so gobbled up the tasty treat

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #248 #Strange little girl
I used to live in a place called New Mawden
and I went to school with a Lizzie Bawden
with her long black hair she looked delicious
but apparently she was quite capricious
when I asked her if she wanted to come out to play
she said she was helping mum chop sticks that day
