Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

The boy stood on the burning deck
‘Cos he’d set the ship on fire
The Captain said “What the heck
We’ll blame it on McGuire”

It’s a long story, the McQuire story that is, Mick McQuire was what the Americans call ’The fall guy” and we would call him the dogsbody or the whipping boy. I must tell you about him when I have more time to spare, but I’ve had a long day in the shed and I’m off for a well earned pint or two.

We used to have a jazz band back in the 70’s, we all liked a drink and we called ourselves “The Saturated Seven” We specialised in old time rags, and bones, bottles and old car batteries, anything to get booze money. Then when “The Temperance Seven” broke up, the 60’s jazz craze ended and we just drained away and dried up.

Very well, then
Mr. Knox, sir.
Let's have a little talk
about tweetle beetles....

What do you know
about tweetle beetles?
well...

When tweetle beetles fight,
it's called
a tweetle beetle battle.

And when they
battle in a puddle,
it's a tweetle
beetle puddle battle.

AND when tweetle beetles
battle with paddles in a puddle,
they call it a tweetle
beetle puddle paddle battle.
AND...

When beetles battle beetles
in a puddle paddle battle
and the beetle battle puddle
is a puddle in a bottle...

...they call this
a tweetle beetle
bottle puddle
paddle battle muddle.
AND...

When beetles
fight these battles
in a bottle
with their paddles
and the bottle's
on a poodle
and the poodle's
eating noodles...

...they call this
a muddle puddle
tweetle poodle
beetle noodle
bottle paddle battle.
AND...

Now wait
a minute
Mr. Socks Fox!

When a fox is
in the bottle where
the tweetle beetles battle
with their paddles
in a puddle on a
noodle-eating poodle.
THIS is what they call...

...a tweetle beetle
noodle poodle bottles
paddled muddled duddled
fuddled wuddled
fox in socks, sir!

Fox in socks,
our game is done, sir.
Thank you for
a lot of fun, sir
lovely RJ - schizophrenia in a bottle - I like your way of tinkin! in a bottle!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Oh no the Possums are here
Come this way they say my dear
No need to stop, your time is up
I guess I'm running out of luck
They pull the shutters, then close the doors
I can't escape their little paws
They even make my eyelids close
They get me before I'm on my toes
So I give in and go to bed
They know just how to get in my head

Good Night Possums X

Good Morning Possums

Oh I see you have gone away
I guess I'll have to think of one
It will take some time, so I best be gone

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

I have an Apple laptop here
They INSIST I use for work;
It seems my Dell ain't good enough
and Linux must just shirk.

So fight with it most of last night
was was I sat here doing
whilst YOU lot were all out having fun
all that billing and that cooing.

Right-now officially afternoon's here
I heard the clock say "Bong!"
So I must finally escape
and sing my 'espresso' song.

For t'has taken hours of work,
of prepping this machine...
...but STILL I have to tell you it's
A FALLEN APPLE-all it's ever been.
