You're buying doublers ? Gotta be The Macmillan !

Ian Fleming has a lot to answer for ! ;)

As does Edward Lear ? :

There was a McMillan called Ian -
McMillan called Ian, he was :
Because, oh because,
McMillan he was,
McMillan, with first name of Ian.

First line, of haiku,
Precedes a yet longer line,
Menacing - perhaps ? https://t.co/ssqYleuZrG

Slàinte !


Post-script :

Cheers, @IMcMillan - thanks for the Retweet :)

PS Maybe not even of the standard of my recent Catrin Finch poem, but hey !

For no better reason than that #UCFF's interlocutor had also heard Catrin Finch play :

There once was a person called Finch -
A harpist, who looked ev'ry inch :
When she plucked on the strings,
One heard glorious things
That gave one's sweet conscience a pinch.
