Visiting Botanical Gardens,
With flowers all in bloom,
Noticed all the wild names,
In Latin and Hebrew.

Albeia Grandiflora?
Callicarpa Bodinieri?
Things I thought were just some flowers,
Not found in dictionaries.

I got a beep on my old pager,
(Forgot my cell-type phone),
It could be important!!
I had to go phone home.

We went into the office,
To find a phone that they might loan us,
They said they only had one;
A "Pay-coinus-telephonus"

"Pay-coinus-telephonus" ~ loved the traditional 'Toe Twist' at the end! I always look forward to it as I read a poem of yours! It's fun trying to figure out where you are going with the write!

Please forgive me, but "Pay-coinus-telephonus" sounds a little bit naughty to me!

I totally agree with Linda,
I always wait for the twist too

Okay, Sir, now I am admitting
that this is one that left me grinning
and not one that I have seen before...
a rag of a rose...left at my door....

Toe-rag, that is.
Simply put.

Toe-rose-rag heaven.
