Wandering along Lake Baikal
Methought I saw flowering kale
And wolfsbane aplenty, enough to kill.
A thrush somewhere began to call,
The breeze around was rather cool.
Of course it wasn’t Pina del Mar
Acapulco, Cancun, Biarritz or Cambremer,
But the place somehow reminded of Grasmere
Less the daffs, with kale more,
Bleaker, with all the aspect of a moor.
Thanks once again to my French correspondent GH for this haunting pentelope. For those unfamiliar with the term 'pentelope', please search the site for a definition and lots of examples.
