There once was an actress called Carmen
Who they say danced and drank down in Harlem
She wore a huge hat
Behind which nobody sat
'Coz its topping only distracted the barmen

I knew, I just knew ... you were going to do something about Ms. Miranda!!!
ReplyDeleteOh ... and I LOVE the header!
DeleteAh had, you did did you?? Laughing......... actually Carmen Miranda came to mind as soon as I saw the picture - any other subject didn't get a look in!
DeleteI like the header too. Makes me proud to be British! Going to change it for another in a minute.
Whew whew!!! Dada dada daDA!
ReplyDeleteDa da dum da-da da! Or something like that!

ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletehaha i imagine that would be rather distracting....but handy if hungry
ReplyDeleteOr if you needed a garnish for a cocktail!
Deletegood one- it would make a handy drink dispenser!
ReplyDeleteThank yes - yes perhaps it would!
DeleteYou must be really old (like me and Helen) to remember Carmen Miranda!
ReplyDeleteLaughed at how you rhymed Carmen with 'barman'. Limerick at its best!
I think I remember someone talking about her when I was a child!! Many thanks!
DeleteAh, the Queen of fruity heads supreme, nicely limerick-ed to boot!
