Something you didn't expect with a particular poster.

 


What things did you find contrary to what pre-conceived idea you had of a particular poster or something about them that really surprised you?


 


 


 


I was surprised to find out Elephant is a lot older than I thought. 


 


Also surprised Icy is actually witty for a grandma.

For your anthology I presume?


If that's what appeals to you, I can recommend 'A child's Garden Of Verse 'by Robert Louis Stevenson - there are copies for sale on Ebay; or how about 'When We Were Very Young, by A. A. Milne.

Here's one you'd like, Joz:


 


There are lions and roaring tigers,
and enormous camels and things,
There are biffalo-buffalo-bisons,
and a great big bear with wings.
There's a sort of a tiny potamus,
and a tiny nosserus too -
But I gave buns to the elephant
when I went down to the Zoo!

There are badgers and bidgers and bodgers,
and a Super-in-tendent's House,
There are masses of goats, and a Polar,
and different kinds of mouse,
And I think there's a sort of a something
which is called a wallaboo -
But I gave buns to the elephant
when I went down to the Zoo!

If you try to talk to the bison,
he never quite understands;
You can't shake hands with a mingo -
he doesn't like shaking hands.
And lions and roaring tigers
hate saying, "How do you do?" -
But I give buns to the elephant
when I go down to the Zoo!


(A.A. Milne)

I'm surprised you posted a topic other than a religious debate, Bob

I actually post an ecclectic array of topics. THe religious threads always do well. ?:| 


It's so weird I almost never talk about religion in my everyday life. I guess it's also good to be in a debate where you're guaranteed to win.

Are grandmas incapable of being witty?


 


Yes Bob.  I always used to think that you were a nice bloke that just liked to have a bit of a debate and discussion.



 


Witty in the sense it's not old people humour. 


 


I don't get your 2nd comment. You used to think that suggest I'm not.
