Gee - There's A Great Gang Gathered On MyLot.

My flower pot

There's a great gang gathered on myLot, A grand group of gals and of guys, We're grateful if they make us giggle, They're gracious and gifted and wise. There's all ages, young guys and girlies, And glamorous grannies galore, Grandpas regale us with gusto, The stories can make us guffaw. We get tips on gardens and grammar, We hear about grandkids with glee, There's gentle glimpses of bygones From old geriatrics like me. You may think this 'G' post is garbage, I hope you won't grimace and groan, But gobbleydegook just comes easy To this garrullous grey-haired old crone. (An attempt at alliteration) Photo - my flower pot.

@jstory07 That is very true, and I don't feel old (most of the time!)

I get jealous of Jabo, with a gorgeous jardinere. Jostling blooms and jaunty tunes, and her rhyming fill the air.

@sueznewz2 Alliteration is using a lot of words that begin with the same letter, in this case 'g'. Yes, there are some wonderful people on here.

Well done! Vince and another just had an alliteration 'duel' on a photo post. You might like to have a try at another. The letter 'p' is a good one to use.

Oh my! Too many new words to learn: "geriatrics", "gobbleydegook", "garrullous" and "alliteration". Gotta check the dictionary online. Thank for teaching me something new. Wonderful poem though! Sums up myLot very well.

Fantastic - as they always are. You've written with such ease I hadn't actually noticed they were all 'g' until I reached the part where you pointed it out.
