Pancakes and Poems, what a great evening we had on 13th February (Shrove Tuesday), in aid of 2nd Mile Project.
People were invited to come along for tea/supper and enjoy a variety of pancakes both savoury and sweet.
The selection was most tempting with fillings such as chilli. chicken and avocado, mushroom or cheese and onion. The sweet fillings were too many to mention, but my favourite was fresh fruits with ice cream – yum, yum.
Throughout the evening, many people had brought poems to read to everyone. The genre of this was amazing with funny, romantic, knowledgeable and even a little bit naughty.
It was good to be together with laughter and smiles all round. A special thank you to everyone who came and all who helped.

Here's one that was naughty:
ReplyDeleteSaid uncle shark to nephew shark
Coasting off the shore,
“Don’t go in too far my lad,
As I did once before.
Keep your distance, close your eyes,
Keep them at fins’ reach,
Resist the urge to hunt them down
Up on the nudist beach.”
Said nephew shark to uncle shark,
Cutting through the brine,
“Why this advice, Oh dearest Unc,
Why do you take this line?”
“Don’t get me wrong”, the elder said,
“It’s not that I’m a prude.
But the bits that bobble up and down –
They put me off my food!”
