Yes, lou probably ate them as soon as she left the store.

I once saw a woman in Morrisons who couldnt wait to eat some cream crackers and she opened them near the exit before she got outside.

Last year I went through a phase of eating a pack of orange rolos on the bus going home on a Saturday from shopping

My nan used to carry a knife in her bag and on her way back from the shops, she'd sit at the front of the bus and make herself a sandwich!

 Genius! An old person could easily get away with that but if a younger person carried a knife nobody would believe it was to make a sandwich.

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens . . .
.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Oldspice that is uncanny!  I was quoting that poem at somebody this very afternoon!  An old friend of mine had it for her funeral and I thought it was very appropriate.

I've been doing some poetry work with my adult literacy group and I chose this one for them to 'break them in' because they all thought they hated poetry!

That is such a good choice oldspice and I bet your group have enjoyed it and decided they like poetry now.

Well, when we did love poetry, just before St Valentine's day, they liked the modern stuff by W H Auden (Stop all the clocks.....) and Maya Angelou (Come and be my baby) but hated the most beautiful Shakespeare sonnet (Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?) so i think I will have to work on them a bit more!

Shall I bother looking them up smurfy or are they really bad?
Title: Tesco
Post by: smurfboy on February 26, 2006, 01:25:39 am
Hmmm... women seem to like them more than men, so maybe you could look them up. I was made to study them about four times during my degree. Although they are very poor they are also very politically 'right on', so unis are falling over themselves to put them on the syllabus.

By Maya Angelou


The highway is full of big cars
going nowhere fast
And folks is smoking anything that’ll burn
Some people wrap their lives around a cocktail
glass
And you sit wondering
where you’re going to turn
I got it.
Come. And be my baby.


Some prophets say the world is gonna end
tomorrow
But others say we've got a week or two
The paper is full of every kind of blooming horror
And you sit wondering
what you’re gonna do.
I got it.
Come. And be my baby.


This is one of the modern love poems my adult literacy group studied for Valentine's day.

A modern love poem.  That's the difference.
