09.01.2022 Thank you Wendy Cummins for sharing this poem! Wordsworth in Lockdown: I wandered lonely as a cloud,... Two metres from the madding crowd, When all at once my name was called To enter Waitrose hallowed hall. Now the pensioners’ special hour, I’d gone to get a bag of flour. But I forgot when through the door What I had gone to Waitrose for. The Waitrose staff are extra kind I told them it had slipped my mind. They asked what else I had forgot They clearly thought I’d lost the plot. I phoned my wife at home to ask She helped me out with this special task : I need some flour to bake a cake With all that cream you made me take! Ah yes, of course, I had to lie, I dared not ask what flower to buy, But then I saw them at the tills . A bunch of golden daffodils!
