Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: 



Gastrolater: A lover of food. A glutton.



Estivate - To spend the summer.



Eye chatter - A flirtatious glance.



Gyles' poem this week was ‘Two Dead Boys’ by Anon:



One fine day in the middle of the night,

Two dead boys got up to fight,

Back to back they faced each other,

Drew their swords and shot each other.



One was blind and the other couldn't see,

So they chose a dummy for referee,

A blind went to see the fair play,

A dumb man went to shout "hooray".



A paralysed donkey passing by,

Kicked the blind man in the eye,

Knocked him trough a nine inch wall,

Into a dry ditch and drowned them all.



A deaf police man heard the noise,

And came to arrest the two dead boys,

If you do’t believe my story, it's true,

Ask the blind man he saw it too!



A Sony Music Entertainment production.
