(CdM) I chortle. My Dad would be amused and impressed. BTW it's Betws-y-Coed.
[Rosie] Thank you. And of course it is; how embarrassing. Can I restore some of my semi-Welsh cred in your eyes if I tell you I do know how to spell (and pronounce) Llanfairpg?
(CdM) That's an easy one - just look at the signposts - they say LLANFAIR P.G. as do the bus destination blinds. The 58-letter version (a 19th century commercial gimmick) is for tourists only. 0

They staged the Eisteddfod in Gwent
So long-winded Rhys packed his tent.
He was, as things stood,
(and as poets go) good.
So, as good poets go, off he went.

Re-incarnation. This seems as good a place as any to mention it, that my late mother's maiden name, Eluned Morgan, is exactly the same as the new First Minister for Wales. Now don't start getting bossy, mother. Remember you're now a Hughes, like me, sort of thing.
[Rosie] I'm back, and potentially working on new Philth.
Well, frankly, I have to be blunt
While I try to put on a brave front.
Since the day he stood down
This bard's worn a frown.
Oh how I miss Jeremy Hunt!


We’ve got a new maid called Chrysanthemum
Who said, “I have just come from Grantham, m’m.
I lost my last place
In the sorest disgrace,
‘Cos I snored through the National Anthem, m’m.


When the space-time continuum pauses
'Cause a flaw in the temporal laws is
Redirecting time's courses
The effect then (of course) is
That effects will effect their own causes

Another Welsh one, written for my cousin.

There was a young woman from Aber
Who grew sick of this cad who would grab 'er
Deploying her charms
She broke both his arms—
Whence his gasted was utterly flabber


Hidden textAuthor note: The use of the antiquated term cad is for comic effect within the limerick form, and is not intended to in any way trivialise the seriousness of sexual assault. Also, while the author understands the use of violence in response to such assault, this should not be take to mean that he necessarily condones it. But, to be clear, the cad definitely deserved it.
