Have we had this......?

He came from Troy, but
Left for Rome and broke my heart.
Come on, Grim Reaper.

And this one is a joke:

"Done much, Buddhist Monk?"
"Not this life nor those before."
"Ah, just like me then".

In case anyone was wondering, it's by Poulenc...... Wink

Dove in flight, indeed Ron.

Which are still to be guessed?  Is it time for that helpful Sudden Chap to do a resume?  (I would, but I would embarrass everyone with how few I can get....)

Ollie, I'm sure it can wait.  Have to get some sleep now.  And tomorrow I have to take the good lady out somewhere, so won't be chronicling / resuming anywhere......

Even though I need some sleep, I'm bound to be awake all night trying to think of Haiku's.  I have a feeling this thread is one to rival the Opera Quiz......
