A poem inspired by the not unexpected
but nonetheless surprisingly energetic
and succinct response
given to The Count Leopold Stavnosky
by his long-pursued paramour, Princess
Ariana de Kophen of Bavaria, when he
formally proposed Marriage on the
beautifully mild evening of June 23, 1772
at his Palace in St Petersberg.


Piss off!

After hearing it for the first time, I tried to get a rhyming alternative. All I could think of was:
couldn't decide so we scrambled him then.

Here's another hungry nursery rhyme.


Mary Had a Little Lamb


for lunch.

Edited to add in another hungry one.

Little Miss Muffet Sat on a Tuffet Eating her Curds and Whey Along Came a Spider Who Sat Down Beside Her

And unfortunately for the spider she ate it, too.
