Gossip

At noon I went and dined with my Lady at Whitehall, and so back again to the office, and after that home to my workmen. This night Mr. Gauden sent me a great chine of beef and half a dozen of tongues.

A din
at the office after work:
a great chin,
half a dozen tongues.


Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Wednesday 19 December 1660.
