Wow, autocorrect needs to pick a lane. Congrats and thanks, mattrom.

Ooooh, matron! (as Kenneth Williams might have said)

Congratulations again, mattrom. I do gain some consolation from backing the winner.

Thanks for my votes, mattrom and spike, and for the hosting, buddy.

A multiple thank you to everyone for your votes and kind comments.
Buddy, I was surprised at the number of definitions for "pink" I'd never heard previously. Good word choice. Thank you for my prizes and for getting those bad boys to behave themselves.
Signed,
Matron

P.S., Buddy and Jono, I liked the poetry. Here is my cringeworthy effort, for the gardeners

Time stops in lockdown
spring: sweet pea tendrils grasping
go counterclockwise

Or widdershins?

mattrom, with your mention of spring you have a true haiku. Mine is more of a senryū (being darkly "humorous" or an approximation thereof).

Enough syllables, Aristo? Of course, there should be a hyphen in counter-clockwise.
It's the first time I've grown sweet peas, and noticed the phenonenom.

...phenomenon...

Well done Mattrom, thanks for setting Buddy, and thanks for saving my blushes Doug. Did you see my little joke?
