There was a Gransnetter called Polly
.......

henetha Wed 30-Apr-14 10:16:56

She wanted mange-tout,- really pea-pods,

MiniMouse Wed 30-Apr-14 10:52:19

She went home and steamed them

shysal Wed 30-Apr-14 16:12:04

Then chopped and creamed them

Elegran Wed 30-Apr-14 20:19:53

Made pease pudding fit for the gods.

papaoscar Wed 30-Apr-14 21:06:26

Encouraged by her culinary skill

MiniMouse Wed 30-Apr-14 21:16:47

She decided to go for the kill

NanKate Wed 30-Apr-14 21:23:18

She selected a recipe.

MiniMouse Wed 30-Apr-14 21:49:28

No time to be gossipy

Elegran Wed 30-Apr-14 21:54:55

Gransnet time now would be nil.

MiniMouse Wed 30-Apr-14 22:12:08

She thought she'd compete with Delia

Nelliemoser Wed 30-Apr-14 22:55:03

Did this brave young lass called Ophelia,

geeljay Wed 30-Apr-14 23:15:09

It wasn't to be, for this young laydee

NanKate Thu 01-May-14 06:33:19

In culinary skills she was a mere baby

NanKate Thu 01-May-14 06:35:42

She now works big time in the media.

papaoscar Thu 01-May-14 09:32:10

But she misses her time in the kitchen

MiniMouse Thu 01-May-14 09:44:07

And the pepper that set her nose itchin'

papaoscar Thu 01-May-14 10:27:52

So she's back at the Aga

Nelliemoser Thu 01-May-14 10:53:00

Swilling down some strong lager,

MiniMouse Thu 01-May-14 11:04:19

And food from the saucepan she's pickin'

AlieOxon Thu 01-May-14 12:04:43

Sometimes it sets her feet dancin'

MiniMouse Thu 01-May-14 12:10:53

To see deer in a field who are prancing

shysal Thu 01-May-14 12:58:07

When it comes to the rut

shysal Thu 01-May-14 12:58:47

(As in mating!)

papaoscar Thu 01-May-14 13:16:05

She hides in a hut

AlieOxon Thu 01-May-14 13:41:24

And hopes they aren't slowly advancing!
