This poem should have appeared on the 5th.
The next doodle shows a couple of mice commenting on a new (and unseen) mousetrap. The poem is a bit misogynistic and is inspired in part by the doodle and in part by the parade of barely dressed young women that can be seen around the streets of the West End on a Saturday night. (So as I wasn't in the West End until the evening of the seventh I couldn't have written this on the fifth - that's time travel for you.)
Build A Better Mousetrap
To build a better mousetrap...
Darken the eyes;
Redden the lips;
Uncover the thighs;
Gyrate the hips.
To build a better mousetrap...
On with the paint;
On with the show;
Out with restraint;
Never say no.
To build a better mousetrap...
Go find the mice;
Offer the bait;
Attract and entice;
No need to wait.
As the mice take the cheese.
Space v. Time in the grammar of emojis
