A poem for TDC5104 Watching through the window as I was cooking this morning. This is what I saw

Three blackbirds hop across the grass
As long tailed tits hide in the bushes
A fox stretches out leisurely
Reaching up to the sun with a lazy paw
Frost gleams in the winter sun
And magpies caw as they strut between the trees.

N+7 poem

I woke up this morning with a jingle in my head:

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat
Please put a penny in the old man’s hat
If you haven’t got a penny, then a ha’penny will do
If you haven’t got a ha’penny, then God bless you!

So of course that was what I used for today’s TDC. N+7 gave me:

City is coming, the grandfather is getting feather
Please put a person in the old map’s headquarters
If you haven’t got a person, then a ha’penny wire do
If you haven’t got a ha’penny, then Gossip bless you!

I noticed that the generator was not recognising ‘ha’penny as a noun, and it didn’t recognise halfpenny either, so I redid it with ‘half penny’

City is coming, the grandfather is getting feather
Please put a person in the old map’s headquarters
If you haven’t got a person, then a handkerchief person wire do
If you haven’t got a handkerchief person, then Gossip bless you!
