Primrose and Orangette
are singing a duet
at the village fete.
Orangette clears her throat
hits a high note
and startles a goat.
The goat bleats a cry
and runs into the guy
who sells meat pie.
The guy really tries
to save his meat pies
but hope soon dies.
All around the fair
people stop and stare
at the guilty singing pair.
Then the pie stand
topples to the ground.
And our duo is banned.

Featured: my hippie bus.
One day I will drive it to Tahiti
with the wind blowing in my hair.
Oh these are so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day
aww Amalia what sweet story and nice work :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to escape to an island somewhere and forget about everything for just a while :)
ReplyDeleteLove the van...the poem too...
Road trip! We could go together. But I want to pick the music :-)
DeletePrimrose and Orangette are seriously cute. A hippie bus ride to Tahiti sounds like fun :)
ReplyDeleteOh what cute little people you have created, and I love the poem. What fun in a Hippie Bus! There are a lot of those around Australia...
ReplyDeleteEeeek! How awful! All those pies lost!!!! Poor man! Poor Orangette ..... such embarrassment!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see Orangette again! Loved the verse too!
Tee hee, I used to have a converted VW when I was very young ..... I wish I'd kept it! It was funny driving it here in England because it was a Left Hand Drive ..... and of course our cars here are RH drive ..... it did cause a few stares!
My camper van had been driven in South Africa before I bought it and had a "T" bar on the front .... not sure if this was for protection from wild animals or what?????

Lucky you, Barbara. It is my dream car! I'm sure I'll find one some day, it will be Tiffany blue and of an adventurous nature.
DeleteThere's a gentleman in Pulaski, Virginia who bought hundreds of those vans, and when someone has an order for one, he builds what they want with parts from the others. I'll take a pic of his lot for you the next time we are there, Amalia. Dreaming is fun, eh?
DeleteBeautiful colorful bunnies
ReplyDeleteI love this cute poem about Primrose and Orangette.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your duet and the hippie bus. I am sorry for the pies however, but he can make more!
ReplyDeleteEveryone is sorry about the meat pies. I'm just glad it wasn't the scones.
DeleteYou have made me smile once again with your sweet talent and oh these bunnies!

Your tale and friends made me giggle...but that van...dreamy! And in red? Are you kidding me? Swing by the states and grab me on the way. Pretty please! :)
ReplyDeleteYou must come, Kim! I'm putting a record player on the roof! Everything I needed to know I learned from Priscilla Queen of the Desert :-)
DeleteThey are so adorable! I loved the story too - if only the goat hadn't been startled. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour rhymes not only make me grin, they make me laugh aloud. What a wonderful hippie van! And Primrose and Orangette could not be more adorable.
ReplyDeleteI so love your hippie bus!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a mischievous double act!!! Loved the poem.
Have a wonderful week :)
Primrose and Orangette look a little baffled by what mayhem their duet has caused at the fair. hehe They are darling little bunnies and I love the little details of the buntings and retro flowers on the bus. My parents owned a yellow and white VW bus just like it when we were growing up. I guess they still had a little hippy left in them. I hope someday you make that trip with the wind blowing in your hair!
ReplyDeleteLove, love this sweet story in prose. The subjects are adorable, and I hope you get to make that trip with the wind blowing your hair.
ReplyDeletePoor Orangette and Primrose, they didn't mean to cause such mayhem. Can I join your road trip please? I will bring cake :-)
ReplyDeleteYou'll be SO welcome, Polly!
DeletePrimrose and Orangette are darling cloth dolls, Amalia. And your poems always make this girl smile. I heard one time that orange was the happiest color, and I think that's true.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy these wonderful March days, my sweet friend.

Cute and adventurous bunnies! Where are they hiding now, I wonder? Driving to Tahiti in a VW van would be an epic journey! Dream on!
ReplyDeleteLove the bunnies and the poem about their adventures.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little pair they are!! And I love the hippie bus!! I've always dreamed of owning one myself...unfortunately, they are outrageously expensive!! Love and hugs!!
ReplyDeleteAwww, what a cute poem!
ReplyDeleteTania
One of my neighbors drives a van like that! It makes me smile every time I see it.
ReplyDeleteThey are cute!! And the van too:)
ReplyDeleteIn my humble opinion, the goat should have been the one to be banned from the fair. Silly thing! Oh, well, I'm sure Primrose and Orangette will bounce back with their singing career. They look quite resilient, and awfully cute. A drive to Tahiti with the wind blowing through my hair sounds delightful. I'll pack my bags immediately! Hugs, Nancy
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel better, Nancy, the other goats have been giving her funny looks since the Unfortunate Incident. And you must come, Nancy! It wouldn't be the same without you!
DeleteMy first chuckles of the day! Thank you, Orangette and Primrose and Amalia!
ReplyDeleteI'll be waiting for an account of your drive to Tahiti, Amalia,
Dewena
Another cute and funny adventure for us to enjoy! Love the addition of the funky bus!
ReplyDeleteOh how I adore these sweet wee felty friends!
ReplyDeleteAlso, thank you so very much for your warm and heartfelt comments.
I wanted to let you know that I am nearing the end of my college experience and am currently doing a 7-week internship at a museum as a requirement for graduation. It is an interesting experience to be sure.
I must admit that I am struggling to try and manage my time and make sure my family's needs are met. Sadly, this leaves little time left for visiting my favorite people in the world and their fabulous blogs. I hope you'll have patience with me. Thankfully, this time won't last forever and I will soon, once again, be able to see all the wonderful things you are doing.
May glorious weather and lovely flowers put a spring in your step,
Laura
Cute! And such a fun post -- thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh these are so adorable, Amalia. And that van also looks cute. :) Such a pretty and fun post.
ReplyDeleteI love your felt nonsense :-)So cute.
ReplyDeleteOh, we just love your bit o' nonsense and sense of great adventure ... I feel the child inside giggling to see such fun.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and the bunnies a splendid day...
Brenda
Love it. I hope you do! Groovy, man...
ReplyDeleteA sad day for the pie man :) Love the duo and the Hippie Bus!!

Yes, they made a quick getaway straight to the tea shop and found consolation in a large slice of Victoria sponge :-)
DeleteReady to take some vacations ;)
ReplyDeleteThey are both lovely !
Have a nice day !

Your are full of surprises Amalia! Somehow I didn't picture you the hippie type, but I'm on board right there with you! Now what kind of music would we be playing?

ReplyDeleteYour cute little creations always bring a smile. Pick me up on your way to the city! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteThere is a seat with your name on it, Diane.
DeleteI would love to ride to Tahiti in that bus!! If I sang out loud it would cause more havoc than Orangette did! (I can't carry a tune.) You make me smile -- thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Have a good week Diane
ReplyDeleteLove it! I can see your poem as a picture book. :-)

I love your hippy bus and Primrose and Orangette. Thank you for the cute story, I leave smiling :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Hippie Bus, and of cours your sweet poem.
ReplyDeleteWhen you are driving to Tahiti, take me with, please.
ReplyDeleteI love such old Hippie Busses and a lot of sun and wind on my face.
Your poem is so sweet.
Sunny greetings, Nicole
This is turning into a group outing. Wonderful.
DeleteOh my gosh how sweet! They look adorable (I love the colors) and the VW bus is fantastic! Love your poem and idea of taking a "vacation." xo Kathleen|Our Hopeful Home
ReplyDeleteMy son has a similar VW Type 2, but the top doesn't pop up (and I think it's the bigger scale). My neighbour across the street is fixing up TWO full-sized Type 2 campers! Every so often we hear him rattling down the road revving that distinctive sounding VW engine. I hope Primrose and Orangette aren't banished for the entire fete :(
ReplyDeleteWendy
They've already been let back in but no more singing :-)
DeleteAmalia, that's a fun poem, that poor duet. :) I'm sure you'll have a fun time traveling to Tahiti.
ReplyDeleteLove your hippie post an it brought back some great memories.. Also enjoyed your wacky and cute post...hope the duet improves in tone.
ReplyDeleteHa, ha! Too cute as always!! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
