This is shameless fishing for compliments, but just switching to the 21st century to show you the cake I made for my friend’s son’s 40th party. The brief was “something very chocolatey”.

You should never go out alone at seaside places, where there are scampish, ill-bred, forward men about, and rough excursionists, who are on the lookout for unchaperoned girls, and speak to them without introduction.

An “old maid” is a term of reproach, but that any appropriation should be connected with an unmarried state is not only ungenerous, but unjust. True, some have grown eccentric from living alone, but amongst those despised women, some of the most beautiful characters may be found.

We sympathise with you in your loss of a friend. But you should learn the rules of metrical composition before you attempt to write memorial verses. Even the rhymes are not correct - “love” and “good” do not rhyme; and the grammar and spelling need correction.
