Bananas and daffodils,
egg yolk and butter,
little chicks and lemons,
and the petals of a sunflower,
gold rings and Laa-Laa,
sweet corn and mustard,
a fireman’s helmet
and a bowl of custard.

Adorable, the tempo and beat of this sounded like a nursery rhyme. I loved it and could see it with illustrations on a page in a children's book of poems.

Thank you, Penny. That's so nice to know. I've really enjoyed tackling these little verses set off by 2 inspiration points. Rhiannon

This made me think of that song 'these are a few of my favourite things' in the sound of music - and how perfect to end it with custard somehow! I bet there's an art student somewhere out there who would love to illustrate this series

Jaunty rhythm and custard coming at the end as if plonked on the table infront of an eager child, spoon at the ready

Very nice Rhianon! Traditionally yellow is for faithfulness such as of “gold rings”. “A yellow ribbon round the old oak tree, she wears a yellow ribbon in the merry month of May”. Can you think of any?

Beautiful for kids, simple things can make them very happy grown-ups too.

Goodnight! Enjoy church!

Thank you, Tom. I didn't know that about the link of yellow to faithfulnes –, because of gold I suppose.

May you know God's blessing in church tomorrow too! Rhiannon

I wish, but there's always the radio. It was a bad night toothache didn't sleep a wink- better now! Maybe I made it up the stuff of yellow and faithfulness. Well even so, yellow is in the rainbow!
