I so enjoyed writing my little poem on Colonel Slade the other day that I thought I would have a go at another one.'Anais Anais' recalls a recurring argument, about Cacharel's famous scent, which I had many years ago with a proverbial 'old flame'... a lovely smelling one at that... as this was her favourite perfume... and, to this day, remains one of mine too! :)
Anais Anais
One day, tenderness will move the world,
she said, it’s a slogan for Anais Anais
Mispronouncing the name, again she twirled
She insisted it’s neigh… it’s neigh… it’s neigh
It’s named after Anna’is Nin, I repeated
a feminist writer from French gay Paris
which is why the Gallic name is needed
and it’s nay Anais Anais !
A little read of Anaïs Nin on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, may enlighten the more curious and interested reader.
Finally, again the curious reader may also be interested and like to read this discussion, How do you pronounce "Anais" at Answerbag.com, which I offer with a certain triumphal glee! ^_^

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog.
Your comments are always welcome. When making a comment, please try and be fair, balanced, honest and try and refrain from abuse... but most of all DO NOT SPAM! All this being equal, I shall be happy to publish it!
Oh and one other thing... I hate 'Anonymous' comments. If you wish to post anonymously, I would suggest you use the 'Name/URL' option... just omit the URL bit (it is optional and only for use if you have a blog or website) and use a fictitious name; e.g. 'Angry in Ashford', 'Perriquito de los Palotes' or whatever! Anything is better than 'Anonymous'... and will save confusion!
