LIKE A ROSE AMID THE TWIGS

Like a rose
amid the twigs
Oh Mrs Figg
Oh Mrs Figg

a velvet petal
and nothing like
an oil rig
Oh Mrs Figg
Oh Mrs Figg

you have no thorn
or metal
infrastructure
on earth's juices
you sip
and swig
Oh Mrs Figg
Oh Mrs Figg

Ooh how I love
you diaphonous frock
of leaf traced
elegance
amid the rocks

making the thorns
about you
seem harsh
and cruel
up in
the scree
upon the ridge -

Oh Mrs Figg
Oh Mrs Figg
You're nothing like
an oil rig.

OH HOW TIGHT THE ARSES

Oh how tight
are the arses
of Scotshobbits
beyond the marshes
beyond the
craggy rugged
passes
in Scotshobbiton
where the
Shadows are...

Oh how their
weighted
sporrans
grip
upon their
belts
like Hippogriffs

What's that now
when sporran
opens
creaking
it's croft? ...
an elderly
dusty
moth!

Oh how tight
are the arses
of Scotshobbits
beyond the marshes
beyond the
craggy rugged
passes
in Scotshobbiton
where the
Shadows are...

Wisey is on top form I see, and its good to know I am nothing like an oil rig (I did often wonder), although my eels are swimming in salty oil.

I am glad Wisey doent think Mrs Figg
looks like a rusty old oil rig
spilling out that smelly crude
so nasty slippy and very rude
I think you will find i'm an eco chick
saving the fisk from the nasty oil slick

Siete come un'anguilla
Non un impianto di trivellazione
Pelle liscia
Come in morbida pelle
Capelli come foglie toscani
Su vite
Braccia come rami di vite
Gambe radicata in argilla sabbiosa
Come sensuale
Vostra frutta
Appeso reticolare
Sul ramoscello
Oh signora Figg

hhmm I am not sure I do look like an eel, or my legs are in sandy clay, but thanx anyway Suspect

by **Orwell** Wed Mar 07, 2012 9:16 pm

I just used an internet translator, Mrs Figg. That poem certainly does seem far more romantic in Italian! Very Happy

by Mrs Figg Wed Mar 07, 2012 9:20 pm

Its the thought that counts.

How nice of you to help Wisey translate the poem, Orwell. Nod

by **Orwell** Wed Mar 07, 2012 9:27 pm

Actually, I translated it (via the internet) for my benefit... Embarassed

You know, Italian is far harder to translate than the simple gutteral grunts and groans and burps of Fjordianlandian... Nod

Oh Amarie!

Oh Amarie!

Elskede elskede

Elskede meg

Jeg glem ikke

Du er fra

Mørk Planet

Du gjør meg sint

Som en gannet!

Wisey Banks. Translated (innocently) from Orwell's compendious brain.

by Mrs Figg Wed Mar 07, 2012 9:44 pm

Is gannet like the bird gannet? Shocked

by **Amarië** Wed Mar 07, 2012 9:54 pm

I'm think perhaps gannet didn't translate too well into Norwegian... scratch

I suppose I should be flattered that I inspire poetry and elevated hearth rate in two Forumshire celebrities. Nod

Almost like the wonderful mrs Figg. But only almost.

by Wisey Banks Wed Mar 07, 2012 10:25 pm

Gannet! Gannet! Gannet! Shocked

One of the most vicious and bad tempered birds in all the Scottish Hebrides, just ask Petty! pale

That's the rare "Two Spotted Hebridean Gannet" btw... or the "Pink and Puce" as it's known less formally in Bird Lover circles... Very Happy

I remember the Walter de la Mare ditty --- it was never published, mind.

"Oh how I fear the
Two Spotted Hebridean Gannet,
It's wings so wide
No man can span it,
Known to them who
love all birds in truth,
as the vicious, violent
Pink and Puce."

I'm not sure where to say this, but Ally, I love the new quote in your signature. Laughing

..and so true Very Happy

by Eldorion Thu Mar 08, 2012 9:30 pm

Sometimes I think Dick Cieslik should come over here, just to see what he'd make of us and what we'd make of him. Laughing

If thats the Richard from Bree and that's who you are putting stock in Ally then you'll not want for moonshine! Nod

Oh gawd... and to think I once had a modicum of respect for Ally... Rolling Eyes

well I think that quote shows she has good taste in films Twisted Evil

If its the same guy he cannot even hold a civil discourse, address facts and he only responds to what he thinks other people have said not what they actually say- not the sort I would give my trust to their judgements on anything.

I don't know him and I certainly don't plan to! If Petty dspises him, so do I! Extremely Crabbit
