A Spectator ‘Love Bug’ ad written by a well-know literary character
Short, compact, eloquently rapsodoosical though slightly skeptacious literary sort – widely travelled (Port Burdock, Sturry-on-the-Stour, Fishbourne, Ashington, Gilhampton, Maidstone etc.), keen on watching cricket , Shakespeare, ‘Bocashieu’, Longfellow and similar such (other than Chaucer) WLTM chirpy, chubby, cheerful, chatty charmer seeking someone with amazing History (adept phrasemonger and lover of allitrition) to share larks with. Colourful past capers include salacious commerciality as gents’ outfitters assistant and shopkeeper, beastly matrimonials, bicycling, boating, punting and arson.
Youthful ambitions involved riding bareback on mustang in moonlight over prairies shooting bears, making necklaces from teeth and claws for chief’s daughter, spearing lions through the heart with sharpened stake, deep sea diving and storming fortresses, but happy now to settle for sitting on stone walls and stiles watching good Sussex sunsets and things. Am I your sort? If so call me now: Mr Polly, c/o The Potwell Inn, Sussex.
