Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Well done lads.
I see the poets are all firing away
About life and the very last day
We have broken down loo’s
And left over screws
A lorry stuck on an icy street
Frozen fingers and smelly feet
Tubes, U-turns and hall clocks
U-bends spanners and ballcocks
Where will it end, who can tell
Will it be in heaven or in hell.
Isn’t that Bear grylls a terrific chap, all the things he can do.
For instance can you light a fire without a match or a lighter, make a raft from tree branches, skin and cook a wild animal, make a tomahawk from a stone and stick held together with snake intestines, find water in the desert, make warm clothing from animal hides, snare fish with a wooden spear?
I’m off tomorrow to take a trip along the canal with my grandsons to educate them in ancient skills, I’ve already taught them how to saw off the roof of an old car, turn it upside down and use it as a boat, tomorrow we’ll gather some reeds from the side of the canal to weave a wicker chair for their granny then make some pan pipes from what’s left over to serenade her to sleep, Bear Grylls ain’t got nothin on me.
Are bare grills, bare larders, and bare cupboards related or just the result of too much austerity? not to mention bare bellies bare feet, and possibly bare arses.
