I handed
them the card with such
A silly,
weak, affected smile.
I knew the
printed words weren’t much
Sincere or
even worth their while!
Next time
with token words I’ll leave
A token gift
enclosed within…
“With Simper Fee,
So please don’t grieve
My first attempt,
A card in all sin!”
N.B.
To ‘simper’ is to smile in a comically craven manner
suggestive of clumsiness, coyness, or coquettishness!
I'm so sorry I've neglected this blog so long, starving you of all those little witticisms that've been clogging up the cobwebbed corners of my journals as I've given time to publications much more private in their passion, but I thought I'd best resurrect any notoriety I'd for nonsense as I seek a greater online presence presently for the prospects of my loved one overseas, overseeing my own need for more earnest labour as to bring her here!
