How do I unwind An Ode to Wodehouse
On the master’s birthday
A tribute
How do I unwind
An Ode to Wodehouse
After a horribly hectic day
(The stuff we do to earn our pay!)
When the minds quite boggled out
And all good cheer’s quite up the spout
The milk of human kindness has
Quite curdled up, and in a flash
I might go up, in flames and smoke
I get some help, from a quiet bloke
He shimmers in, and calms my mind
Perks up my mood, helps me unwind
And takes me to a Wonder land
That doesn’t change or age or wan
In this world stout butlers butt
And men in spats try out the Putt
Where Lords keep pigs, which are their bane
And Aunts aren’t all Gentlemen
Where every problems solution
Is the Gentleman’s personal Gentleman
Whenever the world looks glum
To cheer you up, there’s always Plum
Escape into his magic land
Where words cast spells, and Puns abound
But first get into something loose
Throw out the tie, kick off the shoes
A frothing mug, a cup that cheers
Put up your feet, forget your peers
And Ring for Jeeves, he’ll take you there
Let guffaws thunder everywhere

hmm, maybe I should give Wodehouse another chance. I tried reading one of his books a couple of years ago. But got bored.

I picked him in my preteens & 4 decades later re reading him is such a pleasure. Both my kids & are addicted too :D. My wifes less crazy but Plum helped her agree to marry me 😀

A real juicy composition. Deserves to be published in Milady’s Boudoir, though I am not aware if Uncle Tom is still supporting it.

Thank you kind Sir. We will get Jeeves to arrange that. It will indeed be an honour

Plum would have been most gratified that all his hard work of generating laughter continues through his fans.
