Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

If you perchance
Ride the Tour de France
You’ll need a padded seat
To achieve the feat

The Crepes Of Wrath

Photo Hunt: Paper

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


This is my first entry for the popular "Photo Hunt: Paper" theme. I recently bought a gift-wrapped cyclamen for someone I love very much, and the square decorative pot had this simple pink crepe paper around it, wrapped in place with a wide ribbon. A couple of days later, I took the ribbon off and lifted the pot out to water the plant. And that's when I noticed the unusual perspective of the soft pink crepe. Out came the camera and I fired off half a dozen frames from different angles before replacing the cyclamen.

FOOTNOTE: Isn't the Tour de France really a cyclamen race?
