Genius!

Yesterday was funny, after Top Gear, we had to try to think of things for a card Kirsty was making...I suggested minimalism which was the final approach- a little frog sticker holding a heart in the middle of the card!
Then, as though that wasn't enough, we had to think up something to write inside.
Many, many suggestions were made, mostly by me, and mostly silly. Nic, kirst and I were in fits of laughter by the end. Nic blogged about it (http://flashfrequency.blogspot.com) and you can read some of my creations there such as:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Frogs are green,
and so are you!

That got screams of 'no, no' as did most of my others.
Kirst blogged on Nic's blog (this is going to get confusing) about something to do with the fact we're genius' only she said Genii- asking if that was the plural of Genius'.
my response was:

Do you mean the plural of Genius? Geniuses is a plural, although not a correct one I don't think....When I see Genii, it makes me think of a geni out of a bottle...hmmm i feel a poem coming on...

Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
Here is a poem,
Just for you!

Here is a Geni,
Sat in his bottle,
Who when rubbed,
Jumped out at full throttle.

"One wish!" He boomed,
Down to Kirst,
Who sat down,
Fearing the worst.

"A card! A card!"
She did shout,
And then for good measure,
She put on a pout!

"A card it is",
He did say,
Clicked his fingers,
And vanished away.

Kirst was left,
Holding the card.
"Goodness!" she said,
"That wasn't so hard!"

We still don't know what the plural of Genius is though, or how it's spelt, but we got (if i may say so) a good poem out of it!

Also yesterday was classic quote from me during Top Gear when racing a bobsled with a car down a mountain in Lillihammer.

Me: The road is shorter though!

(2 seconds later) Jeremy Clarkson: The road and bobsled run are virtually the same length.

My career as commentator obviously requires some practice...
