Letters / Thanks for your view
Reply to Give it up pal! (SN, 21/03/14).
Good morning Mr Adams thank you for your view,
Upon my piece of doggerel which was not aimed at you,
When I read your comment Sir it was something of a shock,
Like being hit head on Sir with a little fluffy sock,
Just FYI Sir doggerel is meant to be pathetic,
Not elegantly written and certainly not poetic,
McGonogall may birl Sir because he could be jealous,
Of a doggerel writer who is resolute and zealous,
Just to wind it up Sir while being rational,
There is no way on earth Sir that I would be your pal!
Gordon Harmer,
Brae.
