@companygreenman The Oxford Jack in the Green sighted at around 7am this morning.

I put a CURSE upon a turkey
for reasons now extremely murky.
Did it MERIT fate so freaky,
just because it looked too beaky?
Spell books NERDY, nervous birdy,
potion HERBY, magic wordy,
then the turkey went all JERKY
and its mood was far from PERKY.

I CAPER with a STACK of books,
But as the night is BLACK,
I prance into the ottoman
And give my shin a WHACK.

Use your Wordle from yesterday to make a poem

Please do not SLURP your tea, my love,
it makes a nasty sound.
I hate the way you suck up spoons
of sugar by the MOUND.
Don't MOUNT your boots upon my chair,
your face I'll gladly pound.

Ezra: "Mummy, when I'm a wizard I'll turn myself into a vacuum cleaner and you can use me to do the cleaning." What I admire about this is that he'll have the magical ability to turn himself into a functioning household appliance but I'll still have to do the cleaning.

The time has finally come, my son is old enough to read The Dark Is Rising. It's basically the reason I had children. So excited, especially by this beautiful cover art by Joe McLaren.
