The tiger, on the other hand,
Is kittenish and mild,
And makes a pretty playfellow
For any little child.
And mothers of large families
(Who claim to common sense)
Will find a tiger well repays
The trouble and expense.
I noted the title of this breakfast cereal aimed at children.

Yum! It even gives you gout too, bonus!
I like Hilaire Bellos, especially the cautionary tales, which I can still recite by heart.
There was a boy whose name was Jim
His friends were very good to him
They gave him tea and cakes ....
Hilaire Belloc? Didn't he write a poem called 'There was a boy whose name was Jim...?' It was all about a lion eating the boy bit by bit. My favourite all time childhood poem!
Hummm, Chokella - yeah, I am forever telling my boys to stop mucking around at the table for that very reason...
this is a post a little different from others...are you branching out Codgi?
And just what has Ella done to you....?
I too like and liked Hilaire Belloc..
'Always keep ahold of nurse
For fear of finding something worse'
If Labour win the election it will be because people follow Belloc's advice.
I take it you don't want to encourage people to bring their kids to your little piece of France.
Can't say I blame you apart from my own and a few other kids of the family, I feel like choking them often, but even I draw the line at giving them gout!!!!!!!!!!
much love
