This is a book for me and my son (two silly poem lovers!)

And runcible is a great word, and it brings up fond memories. I spent many a date with hubby when we first met at college in a cafe called The Runcible Spoon. Mmmm, their poppy seed cake was heavenly! They also had a big claw-foot tub in the bathroom with goldfish swimming in it.

That restaurant sounds wonderful! I think you'll like this one, Lorraine!
