Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: 

Expropriate: To get rid of or no longer own.

Chimney-corner: The place of idlers

Nuncheon: Food eaten between meals

Gyles' poem this week was 'Hands off our horns' by 'Mark Graham '

I know my horn is impressive

But it’s not a magic cure

For poor performance in the sack

Of that I’m really sure

I recommend viagra

If suffering from these ails

You’re stupid if you buy my horn 

Just bite your bloody nails
