Polyhymnia and Yolanda by maggiemae

Polyhymnia and Yolanda

* Polyhymnia is the protector of divine hymns. She created geometry and grammar. She is usually depicted wearing a veil and looking up to the heavens.
* Here she is not quite focused on her Lyre and that is not spelt otherwise. However Yolanda thought she would be a ‘mused’ by her ditty for tonight:
A flea and a fly in a flue,
Were stuck there, so what could they do?
Said the fly, "Let us flee!",
Said the flea, "Let us fly!",
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

She had heard that the F word was not acceptable but could not work out why!

Three Good Things:
1. OurTame Gardener arrived at 9am ( we were hardly dressed) and did a splendid job in pruning roses, fuchsia etc. He cut out all the dead wood which really needed doing!
2. John almost forgot a medical appt - his computer calendar gave him the alert!
3. Diet day again and I’m all go… might even weigh myself in a couple of days!
She’s very beautiful....a different kettle a fish from yesterday’s misery! Yolanda look rather fascinated with this one! I like the sound of protector of Devine hymns! Rather a special job! Great ditty! You sounds like you might be pleased with yourself!

You have gone well beyond my understanding! =)

Don't think I will attempt the tongue twister or there may be a few more f words in there.

@happypat I think I might be pleased with myself but getting on the scales might or might not ruin that!

@onewing Frightfully fascinating, Babs?

@gamelee Sorry Lee - have I taken leave of my senses!

@ninaganci Fearfully fractious?

Love the ethereal feel to Yolanda's latest adventure. Love the F-word ditty too, very funny. Computer calendars are great, saved my bacon last Monday, I'd forgotten all about an appointment till the computer piped up.

LOL! Great narrative to go with the scene.

This is lovely. This ditty is even better than the last one. You are so creative! Fav!

A lovely scene. Love the tongue twister; I'll read it to my granddaughters, they are learning English at school now...

The dutch words might not begin with 'f' though, Bep! @gijsje

Een vlo en een vlieg in een vlam (pijp)
zaten daar vast, dus wat konden zij doen?
Zei de vlieg: Laten we vluchten
Zei de vlo: Laten we vliegen
Dus ze vluchtten door een barst in de vlam(pijp)

Haven't heard that dirty for years...one of my favourites ;-)

@gijsje As I thought, Bep! Not an 'f' in sight!
