Hi folks,

Having said that, it's not as nice a day today, dull overcast so you should excuse the photos please. But it's mild for the start of Feb and that's what counts I suppose. Anyway (Mr Coward please forgive me).......

'Crooks do it, cooks do it,
Even great big black Rooks do it........'

And then they saw me pointing the camera at them and flew off together.

Bill

Nice one Bill. You should see what a pair of my namesakes have been getting up to in my garden ;)

Of course, the pedant in me ;) can't help pointing out that the original song was by Cole Porter (although Coward did add a few verses)

Hi Robin,

I know, but it was the NC version that I had in mind.

Bill.

Ooooh, you've got me going now, cher Bill !!! :D

Pretty naughty lyrics, aren't they? Not just Educated Fleas, Ruth, but also:

"I've heard that lizards and frogs do it
Layin' on a rock
They say that roosters do it
With a doodle and c..k"


NAUGHTY, eh? ;) (Mr. Porter's words, not mine, I hasten to add !!!) o:)

Anyway, Bill, it's nice to know that your Rooks are feeling frisky! I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder... let's face it, you wouldn't fancy frollicking with Madame Rook, would you now? The face that would sink a thousand ships... :-O (Madame Rook's, not yours, dear Bill !!!)

Love - Chanteuse

Ooooh, Ruth, I don't know what came over me, posting such a naughty verse!!! (o)<

Maybe it's the sap rising already (Spring is in the air, eh?)... ooops, that sounds a bit oooh-là-là, too !!! lol !!!! :loveme:

Yes, it was red before... when I saw my posting in print I thought it was a bit too outrageous, so I toned down the colour to a nice innocent blue... :-O

Hope I don't get kicked off BF for my sins!!! All I can say in my defence is that BILL started it, YOU took up the song... and one thing led to another!!! Anyway, CP made lots of money from his witty lyrics, n'est-ce pas, Bill? ;)
