The last word....

[wotan]

a favorite symphony of mine is Eroica, by Beethoven

 

[Susiejb]

in the film Beethoven the dog is so clever.

 

[wotan]

sometimes being clever can backfire

 

[nelsy]

An engine can backfire and cause mayhem

 

[wotan]

mayhem ensues if the fox gets amongst the chickens

 

[nelsy]

chickens, turkeys and other fowl have to beware of foxes

 

[wotan]

does anyone remember foxes glacier mints

 

[Susiejb]

I prefer polo mints.....the one with the hole

 

[nelsy]

Not the 'hole in the ground, so big and sort of round'?

 

[Susiejb]

round

I remember round and round the garden like a teddy bear

 

[nelsy]

Goldilocks and the three bears - I bet everyone remembers the baby bear - poor little cub!

 

[Susiejb]

I once saw a fox cub, he looked amazing, his eyes shining bright.

 

[nelsy]

'bright eyes' - great song from watership down

 

[Susiejb]

fortunately I don't often feel down, I remain cheerful

 

[nelsy]

I always feel cheerful when listening to a blackbird singing.
