That first poem is about you Sweetie, it has you written all over it, very true too. I had one written for you to post on your Friday night (last night) but we had unexpected visitors and I couldn't get near the Martin Luther, the wife’s niece from Blackheath and her husband, they stayed until 1.30am and drank all me Sandeman port!
I’ll keep the poem for next Friday night.
Hello Nicko and a very warm welcome to you.
Yes this is a sort of open thread, nothing has to make sense or be related in any way to anything else, mixed up scribblings just saying whatever is on your mind at the time, so feel free to say whatever you like, within the forum rules of course.
Never knew that about the birds and the eggs.
I’ve been busy of late and still have plenty to do, I keep telling people that I’m retired but I might as well be talking to the wall. I’ll pop in again later.
Yes, the other poem was written for me.
Now I had better get composing one for each of you.
I hope you are all well.

A good friend of mine wrote me a limerick once about words and their meanings I will have a look in my portfolio and dig it out?

Yes certain songs always ring a bell with me Sweetie, but not being a well travelled man my musical association with places is confined to these isles.Scot McKenzie’s San Francisco always conjures up images of a gay bar I accidentally wandered into in Ruislip back in the 70’s, all nice people in there but a bit too friendly for my liking, one elfin looking chap tried to sit on my lap when he heard my accent “Gee are you an Irish guy? my Grandma came from Galway” I hastened down my drink, made my excuses and left sharply.
“Come back Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff”, that reminds me of that famous Irish brewer James Duff who makes all his beer exclusively for export to the USA, you may have noticed that TV celebrity Homer Simpson drinking “Duff” beer all the time, well now you know that it was brewed in Ballyjamesduff.
“How are things in Glocca Morra?” (From “Finian’s Rainbow”) Well I’m afraid nobody knows because there is no such place
“Step it out Mary” is an old folk song my granny used to sing, she was a fine woman and whenever I hear the song being sung in folk pubs I can see her lifting her dress just above the ankles and showing her white hairless shins, she always did that while singing the song, something like the saloon girls of the old wild west, God rest her soul.
Women had no hair on their legs back then, it was unhaired of, hairy women was always a big turn off for fellas back in the 60’s.

hey ho
which in turn reminds me of the old tale about the two nuns - during a water shortage taking a bath together - and there they were happily slopping about and singing the three hail marys when one says to the other one " where's the soap and the other one says - yes it does doesn't it"!! - ya have to tink about that a while !

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBnSWJHawQQTHIS,is the very first 'single' I ever bought.
I'd arrived back in the UK after a 7 month trip in the Merchany Navy-my very first trip-and I thought it was truly inspirational...and I still do...
[sorry - I have NO idea how to post Youtube videos,so I had to post the link. Please forgive my ineptness...]
{incidentally,this was also the very first song I played guitar to an audience,when we played the youth centre,in Chelmsford}
