La vida de Annie

By Annie

Not a garden centre EFB...

...but a home-grown flower today. These blighters are all over the lawn along with a mass of daisies and unappetising-looking mushrooms. Feeling really fatigued and unplugged today; coffee doesn't help as it just converts exhausted to exhausted and jittery.
In keeping with my Spike series this is the only poem of his which mentions the dandelion:

In The Land Of The Bumbley Boo by Spike Milligan

In the land of the Bumbley Boo
The People are red white and blue,
They never blow noses,
Or ever wear closes,
What a sensible thing to do!

In the land of the Bumbley Boo
You can buy Lemon pie at the zoo;
They give away foxes
In little Pink Boxes
And Bottles of Dandylion Stew.

In the land of the Bumbley Boo
You never see a Gnu,
But thousands of cats
Wearing trousers and hats
Made of Pumpkins and Pelican Glue!


Chorus
Oh, the Bumbley Boo! the Bumbley Boo!
That's the place for me and you!
So hurry! Let's run!
The train leaves at one!
For the land of the Bumbley Boo!
The wonderful Bumbley Boo-Boo-Boo!
The Wonderful Bumbley BOO!!!
