Re my contribution, Post 28.
I’ve just had a private message no less(!) correcting my efforts.
Apparently…
Bosham… it’s pronounced Boz-ham, (I have family there, so know this straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak) so the limerick doesn’t quite work in this case!
Rather petty I think, considering the whole point of the thread was a little light humour.
Now, shall we say, Bosham, Boz-ham, Birmingham, Brighton, Clapham, Bodhrum…
Ok one from my childhood
Jack and Jill went up a hill
To fetch a pale of water
Not sure what they did up there
But now they have a daughter
Bo**ocks. Does that rhyme with Bosham?

I read through some posts today
and they made me stop and think
people are tired and angry and sad
looking for something to make them feel glad
positive thoughts and little things are suggested
But we’re all feeling as though we’ve been bested
by, this stupid disease which I hate and deplore
it’s not easy getting on and trying to ignore
but I’m gonna find something today, just one thing
to make me feel normal and not such a burden
but yes, I’m awake and I’ve sorted my bits
so yes I’ve achieved it already I think
so I’m off to celebrate and find something yummy
to enjoy in the eating and add to my tummy xx
