Gigs this week

I’m going to sing or rather we are at the Granary Theatre at Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk on Thursday – then Waveney Folk club: Lowestoft, Norfolk NR32 1SG

By hook or by crook I shall sing Rose of Allendale

Poetry Morning

I who have never been

A generous or keen

Friend of working on a Sunday, must now confess

Myself professor of pure foolishness

And driven by sheer force(Simon)

To alter course

Must shift my sails and voyage back

To think again upon a different tack.

I was reading poetry all morning

Writing – let the dust spin,I’ll do no hoovering

Let the whole day go hang

I will sit among the garlanded(an archaic term for moosing around)

I’ve done my duty(gig this week in Notts)

Bum to the rest

Now I shall indulge in John Donne and Theocritus

Tea,  cake and mellow cream

I’ll never sing again

I’ll buy a small farm

Just a house with a little land

And watch the sun tickle out

The new leaf along the branch

Drink hot chocolate

And sing rediculous rhymes

Then I went to sing and write part for the harmonium to ‘Rose of Allendale’

because if one more person says – you should do more songs on the harmonium I shall pop.  Si won’t agree what I have written -  or it won’t agree with him.

He’ll get indigestion

I’ll get upset

And somewhere in the dialectic

We’ll reach...

Well I’d like to say agreementf

But that’s too strong a word.

Yesterday more importantly we invented ‘The Crisper’ – a device using a spring mechanism to propel the crisp into the unsuspecting sandwich for obvious reasons.

Also we invented the ‘Over skirt’  A sort of plastic sheet or apron to be worn on wet days over usual day skirt.

The creativity – some days it is just overwhelming.
