Thanks for your view

Reply to Give it up pal! (SN, 21/03/14).

Good morning Mr Adams thank you for your view,

Upon my piece of doggerel which was not aimed at you,

When I read your comment Sir it was something of a shock,

Like being hit head on Sir with a little fluffy sock,

Just FYI Sir doggerel is meant to be pathetic,

Not elegantly written and certainly not poetic,

McGonogall may birl Sir because he could be jealous,

Of a doggerel writer who is resolute and zealous,

Just to wind it up Sir while being rational,

There is no way on earth Sir that I would be your pal!

Gordon Harmer,
Brae.
