“Great Aunt Bartow” by Mandy Austin Cook<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Oh Come In!\u00a0 My\u00a0 DAAAHRLING!<\/p>\n

How are you, you amazing\u00a0 beloved dear?<\/div>\n
Sit\u00a0 and have a peppermint<\/div>\n
you simply MUST listen to my day!<\/div>\n
………my week<\/div>\n
……..my last 18\u00a0 months<\/div>\n
which spans naturally over the last 150 years.<\/div>\n
What about? Why, My adventures of sailing the sands<\/div>\n
\u00a0in oceans of otherwise undiscovered realms<\/div>\n
of jungle escapading through deserts of\u00a0 just\u00a0 down the street<\/div>\n
You mean you don’t understand?<\/div>\n
Oh how delightful! LET ME EXPLAIN!<\/div>\n
I’ll weave a tale of fairy musings<\/div>\n
all from the pocket of the elf that lives in my cupboard<\/div>\n
it’s a delightful diamond spiderweb!<\/div>\n
Couldn’t you just listen ALL DAY?<\/div>\n
You couldn’t? Well,\u00a0 WOULD you… please?<\/div>\n
You don’t have to leave? Now?\u00a0 NOT SO SOON!<\/div>\n
I’m creating my French delight today!<\/div>\n
You\u00a0 simply MUST stay!<\/div>\n
Oh? Why yes…<\/div>\n
of COURSE that means I’m cleaning out the refrigerator<\/div>\n
and you’ll receive a witches brew<\/div>\n
full of combined leftovers to contemplate…<\/div>\n
but it’s my SPECIALTY! Come. Sit. Stay!<\/div>\n
Enjoy the eccentricity<\/div>\n
for it is my superpower.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
