Make me an Island.Different eyes, different size, different girls every day
Different names, different games took my breath clean away
But I'm changed, rearranged, I'm enlightened and how
you have caught me, you have taught me and I'm different now.
Take me and break me and close all your windows and doors.
Shut me off, cut me off, make me an island, I'm yours.
Take me away from the world, take me away from the girls.
Take me and break me and make me an island, I'm yours.
Running round, shifting ground, that's the life I have seen.
But I'm tired, uninspired and I've wiped my slate clean.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I decided to have a look back at the beginnings of this topic leisurely scribbles from leisurely scribbles part 1 onwards - the mood and style were quite different then and we had more participants than now who for whatever reasons have departed. I think Jem is truly the only one who has maintained the essential spirit of those earlier days! IMO of course - whilst spittie has not changed one iota - well done spittie for true resolve in hard times! that's all!

Ah your such a sweet old thing Gummy, you really are a big march mellow underneath that rhino skin.
“Cowboys how are ya, and them that never saw a Cow in their lives” (Jimmy O’Dea)
Here yis all are at The Blind Dog Saloon.
A gang of old cowhands sat in the Blind Dog Saloon
Thinking of days gone by
One aimed a gollier at the enamel spittoon
Missed, and got the dog in the eye.
Old Gummy was picking his teeth with a knife
Trying to remove a piece of dead meat
Jem was thinking of his darlin wife
And RJ was clipping the nails on his feet.
Spitty was drawing a patio out on a piece of paper
And Pug was plucking a guitar
Fruitcake was planning his next caper
And Sweetie was serving behind the bar.
Solo came in dressed as Calamity Jane
Buckskin jacket and leather boots
Gummy stood up with the help of his cane
Not that Solo gave two hoots.
I’m off now for a ramble in the lovely Phoenix Park with my darlin’ wife, and who knows a pint or two might well be on the cards.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I am told I have been missed, but I cannot for the life of me understand why that would be so.Anyway, I've been a bit poorly but now I'm a bit better, and feel up to prattling on about nowt in particular whether anyone is disinterested or not.
I'm off out in the Money Pit in a wee short while. My gift to a bride of our acquaintance is to take her to her wedding in style, so I'm doing a dry run this avo to "find my way." It's in a seaside town nearby so I hope there aren't too many grockles to deal with.
I hope everyone else by here is as well as they can be, and the dribbling, sorry, scribblings are down to the usual standard.
