Get the Bones out of the Flesh!
My darling daughter was told of the engagement yesterday morning (the first to know!).
She has been a wonderful bag of excitement ever since and on top form. As some might notice I think she has great potential as a creative person and (who knows) maybe even poetry. Her first effort was very impressive to me, even though I am her Dad others have said as much.
Well when we went to our favourite restaurant last night she was very eager that they know about the engagement (they are after all a family restaurant and we eat there regularly so they all know us). We had finished the meal and still it had not revealed what we were celebrating. In her eagerness for us to say it and be done she used a sudden and impulsive turn of phrase;
“GO ON NOW, GET THE BONES OUT OF THE FLESH!”
And we were all very impressed by her `turn of phrase` - she immediately followed up our astonishment by telling us that we were never to use the phrase without attribution that they were her words - she was very specific about that as only a nine year old daughter can be - I’m even prouder of her for asserting “copyright” to her utterance than I am by the almost Donne like turn of phrase!
PS I scroogled to check the originality, and this was all I turned up pertinent so far as I could see!
PPS Happy birthday today to;

This is my best beloved daughter doing her thing…
what I should like to know is if this is derivative or her original work (I suspect she was put up to it by her elder sister, the eponymous “sdkjackson” who marked my linkback down as spam!)
Isabel’s poem
This was written by my daughter at the weekend, I shall photograph the original text and post it, but this is my version typed as faithfully as I can:-
Look! a leaf
Scrunkling my life away.
Look! a rabbit hole
Like a bowl
Eating my life away.
Look!…a nest
Like a bed
Sleeping my life away
Look at the green grass
Like a bean
I roll my life away
