indeed but he did write “the female of the species is more deadly than the male” Space - Female Of The Species - YouTube
‘The Female of the Species’. This 1911 poem is well-known for its line, ‘the female of the species is more deadly than the male’. Focusing, as we might expect from a Kipling poem, on animals as well as humans – the Himalayan bear and the cobra are both mentioned – Kipling concludes that women are deadlier than men in many cases. Misogynistic fear or feminist affirmation of women’s power? As with the race issue with Kipling, readers remain divided.

i agree. Mr Kipling’s cakes are far too sweet, just thinking of them gives me tooth ache. he should stick to poetry.
He can’t hold a candle to Foggie poetry though.
“The was a young man from Cheam.”

Rudyard himself would have said “No”
That doesn’t scan well, does it?

Sue & Carole were hoping the boys were maturer
So Mother Duck had to step in
To save her daughter from sin …

Hello, Herr Durer!
Thanks for the welcome.
Oh yes - you may call me Foggy Flopsy - lol! Especially after a slug of gin - here, I’ve poured you a glass - ice and lemon?

And welcome to the Foggy limerick theme as well as to the Fog in general Flopsy.
May I add, the gin is wasted on Mr Durer.
But any spare will always be drunk by someone here. And a little ice plus lemon (or lime perhaps?) would always be nice.
