video of me reciting a poem of mine... i actually did two that night and of course they pick the poorer of the two to post

[old barney greyheron]

Righto then, i'll put one on, as this is a multi-national forum, a brief explanation first...
Ingoldmells 1966..a quiet seaside village in Lincolnshire, england.
Ingoldmells now...busy noisy shitole.
*dyke*...agricultural drainage ditch. Doggy Wright's....a caravan site. Pissed...drunk.


INGOLDMELLS.
When I was just a little boy, Ingoldmells was my home
the world's youngest explorer, across fields and dykes i'd roam

I never needed telling twice to get off out and play
with enough to get a bag of chips, throw stones at the sea all day

A toy rifle on Christmas day, in my dufflecoat and boots
patrolling a frozen building site, looking for Germans to shoot

In 66 we won the world cup, i'd never been so excited
but I fell in love with Georgie Best and Manchester United

Messing around and dodging the waves, frozen to the bones
thawing out in the village caff with girls and Beatles and Stones

In 69 we moved away, that night I remember I cried
but from Doggy Wright's to here it's been an interesting ride

Ingoldmells is busy now, the tourists are loud and pissed
and the place I loved as a child has simply ceased to exist.

I am the very model of a moderator general
I like my threads in sequence, deep with meaning, not ephemeral
I do not like off topic, me too posts or repetitional
I like Medusans peaceful and ironic not divisional
I sometimes wish some members would go off on a sabbatical
But stay polite, don’t use abuse, and keep my posts grammatical
About memory and servers I am teeming with a lot o’ news
And I know that boy MacRua is afflicted with a well short fuse
When members get excited and behave a touch hysterical
I stop myself from saying they are talking objects spherical
When Oirish posts his oi’s, I gesture fingers ambidexteral
I am the very model of a moderator general

Soulfinger, I like that.....<finds dictionary, looks up ephemeral>

I was enjoying that untill i got to the Man U part , still i am sure others on here would have liked that bit

[old barney greyheron]

Aye...me first love...georgie & united...the only love that lasts is the first.

Here's a couple of 'shorts'......
Monday's child is off his face
Tuesday's child has never said grace
Wednesday's child is selling drugs
Thursday's child's an evil thug
Friday's child drinks alcopops
Saturday's child steals from shops
But the child who is born on the sabbath day
sits at an x-box night and day.

oops! here's the other one...Poor Billy Bunter suffered from obesity
but slimmed right down when he got to university
when they discovered his amphetamine dependancy
they kicked him out of uni despite his pleas for clemency.

Two more shorts..........
One by-product of insanity is a healthy dose of humanity
which seems strange as it's the case
that I despise the human race

Keep your flat boring cabbage fields, shrieking seagulls
Give me mountains and waterfalls, streams and eagles.

In short I never liked the way he rhymed min'ral with general
He was the very model of a sloppy near-rhyme satagee.

This multi-media "poem" is about two lovers who live far apart, and text each other all the time to stay in touch.
The last four digits of his phone number are 9137, hers are 2684. Haikus should be read in those orders, with whose numbers they are in mind.
Sort of a massive departure from my usual form, but I'm not bothered really... this stuff comes as it comes

[old barney greyheron]

That's too complicated for a thicko like me.
