Staying with friends in Portland on the South Coast of Dorset, I noticed a pair of rather attractive dishes on the bedside tables in my room. They were handmade in Greece, possibly by former Euro-currency traders, now potters, all called Zorba. Not knowing why, I took a couple of snaps and ‘Hey-Presto’ here they are…
A little fish was swimming,
in the water against the tide,
A large fish called out to him:
“Come here for a ride!”
The little fish responded:
“I think I’ll swim beneath,
Because I’m rather wary
of your great big teeth!”
“My teeth are made for smiling,
My teeth are made to grin,
I’m really not that hungry,
You’re welcome to come in!”
Just as he was speaking,
His big mouth open wide,
A hook from the surface,
Lodged itself inside!
It just goes to show,
(If you are a fish)
What you end up getting,
Is not always what you wish!
You too can stay in this charming Dorset house!: http://www.homeaway.co.uk/p1171249?cid=SM_Facebook_slideshow_T_LPROP&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=propertyslideshow
