Did Mrs Hubbard Bare her Cupboard, for Dover Soled her Down the River

Did Mrs Hubbard Bare her Cupboard, for Dover Soled her Down the River

Old Mother Hubbard

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor doggie a bone,
When she got there
The cupboard was bare
So Port Rover Dover and that's where we all went yesterday.

 

Not to worry.  We have mostly thawed by publication date.  So my sense of Rhyme Thyme is not what it might be had I been a poet.  But I hasten to remind you of the abysmal response to my requests for the all-encompassing Haiku.

One!

Not two.

Or more.

Just one.

So the two lines thing works well, good visibility, control, and flexibility.  To see some very casual riding makes the difference.

Cold in the morning but with temperatures revving up in the afternoon.  Larger than expected crowds as the gales of November blow early. The good ship and crew (and apparently thousands of others) were a bone chilled crew and saw fit to close hatches and travel.

The legend lives on from Brantford on down to the big lake they call Canushumi.  a’Cause in Dover you know the tales of November come early. You can tell the nearness of the lake simply by the drop in temperature at this time of year.  25,000 expected yesterday, not the largest but a sizable crowd.

When we arrived you could stroll handily, by departure, it was all we could do to bust through the crowds.  Even on the indomitable KZ had to rev the bangers to scare off some street transgressors.  Notwithstanding most of them should be more street aware with bikers riding amongst.

The food came fast and the cheer and chat wafted through the steadily serving restaurants.  If you have the chance, you should take it.

Talk to Tim for pics.

I must admit, I have re-read your column in their entirety and nowhere did I see a call for "requests for the all-encompassing Haiku". Or, if I did read it somewhere I probably thought it was a referral for something to eat.

As I know you are a voluminous reader, one often not caring about the quality of the read, I have yet to get electronic confirmation that you have scrolled the 12, nay 13 pages of verbosity in this forum.  On the same hand, I am sure your oversized cranium would not hold the back references enough to disamiguize the larder of unusual words found therein in such a short time frame.  Again, in followed by in is not an easy feat.  Makes you sound like you are singing.
