An Ode to the one and only master of Rom Com ! No better day than Valentine’s Day to attempt a tribute to P.G.Wodehouse 🙂
Oh for that wonderful Age Of Romance
The thought of which puts me in a trance
Moonlit nights laced with mystical powers
Romancing the inmates of Totleigh Towers
Madeline enraptured by God’s Daisy Chain
Oblivious of Gussie’s love for Newt’s insane
Bertie Wooster dithering in constant perplexity
Unable to fathom human nature in its complexity
There’s Blandings castle in all its splendour
The Earl Lord Emsworth tremulous and tender
Pottering around with boyish delight n glee
Mesmerized by The Empress his queen bee
Aunt Dahlia’s guests have a certain weakness
For Anatole’s creations concocted with finesse
While Bertie’s betrothal perpetually “on and off”
In gentlemanly response his hat he does doff
But for the services of Jeeves his protector
Bertie could well be hauled up by an inspector
But eventually all is well in this comedy of errors
There is love n romance no lurking terrors
As St Valentine smiles benignly over one n all
They can only rise to the occasion never fall

Nice! I, as is normal, shall wait till all the others have written their Valentines Day tribute before producing mine.
Devilish cunning, what, what?
