Then the only viable solution
Is to take it to an institution Which dry cleans scarves within the hour And wait for Jay to take a shower Then scoop it up from off the floor And race with it out of the door And beg and plead for service urgent And specify not a scrap of detergent As a multitude of germs it must harbour (And by the way its label says Barbour) Then dash back with it across the town Just in time to towel him down Could be difficult for our man to harbour I have an alternative proposition Which may remove his inhibition For there is a scarf of smooth cashmere That would cosset his curls from ear to ear And it's something that I'm sure would suit him As it comes from the House of Aquascutum And he may just say 'Oh what the heck.... I'll wear anything as long as it's check' |

Although thoughts of anything but Barbour
Could be difficult for our man to harbour I have an alternative proposition Which may remove his inhibition For there is a scarf of smooth cashmere That would cosset his curls from ear to ear And it's something that I'm sure would suit him As it comes from the House of Aquascutum And he may just say 'Oh what the heck.... I'll wear anything as long as it's check' To his scarf which he thinks cannot be matched And with its lovely tartan check It will be hard to prise from his neck. The cashmere one does sound ideal But he may consider it a raw deal And resist swapping with all his might And wear just his scarf all through the night |

But I guess we won't get any rest Until he puts it to the test ! |

We live in hope that he alternates
His scarves or he'll be in dire straits As his fave will become a tad unpleasant So perhaps we ought to buy him a present To warm his neck he doesn't need me But a little cat of poetic bent Whose fur will be quite heaven-sent And while she purrs contentedly From his knobbly scarf he can be freed! And until it's back without a pill He won't be feeling winter's chill... |

This is all very well, but when I have tried this technique with son, nephew, great-niece, great-nephew Jayalike (currently in disgrace for being an awkward little s*d, btw), grand-daughter, grandson (both mine and neighbours) and assorted cats .............
It doesn't smell right! Quote:
The scarf - one way of getting him to release his grip on it is to point out that Barbour is associated with the huntin', shootin', fishin' fraternity and the nice cashmere, from an ethical source, will be round his neck in a trice. |

Ah yes, the smell, for some reason son wasn't worried about the revolting lump of blue fleece smelling different but the beanie mouse he took to bed every night that was a different matter, when I washed it because it had got so revolting, yes that was pretty traumatic to say the least.
There are a number of comments I've seen on twitter advising him to wrap up and stop wearing shorts, they always make me laugh because youngest son, (who is also being a bit annoying at the moment, I'm quite willing to pack him up and send him to Isih to keep disgraced great-nephew company) lives in shorts as well. This morning it was -3 out and the cars were white with frost and he was out scrapping the ice off his little car at 7.45am wearing shorts!

Good morning ladies. I am loving the scarf poems from Korky and BB. You really make me laugh. I hope everyone had a good Christmas. The highlight of mine was a visit to the West Yorkshire Playhouse to see the UK premiere of Strictly Ballroom. Very silly, very funny and really well done. I loved it.I was surprised hat it was a full blown musical. Lots of songs. It made a nice change. All I am waiting for though is Big to go to the West End because I will definitely be going to that!

It seems to be oozing soapsuds but I can't put on the light as the fuse has tripped. However I know I am in a dream & want to wake up. Next I have been taken somewhere(?) by a friend(??) as some people are coming(???). I am sitting curled up in the corner of a lovely sofa (maybe a Chesterfield) in my comfy but a bit tatty 'change after work' clothes. Someone sits beside me & I know it's J. I explain about waiting to wake up & (sorry J if you are lurking ) he leans forward & kisses me ![]() ![]() ![]() As I say somewhat abstract............ |
