I don't know why but I read it as splash the eggs on the wall!

Hi Gautami, 'eggshell white' is the name given to a shade of paint in the UK, using poetic licence I splish splash it all over the fence...
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this, though possibly read more into the second stanza then was intended.
ReplyDeleteI think *not* knowing that they're shades of paint actually makes reading the poem more fun. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Neverending Story, phew, I just re-read it myself and it is a bit naughty (if you look at it that way!).
ReplyDeleteHi Desert Rat, I fear you may well be right, but I guess the damage is done now!
That's very clever.
ReplyDeletePainting with words.
Isn't that precisely what poets do?
