No!

Never say it's time to go
try for the status quo.
Grit your teeth, knuckles white
a perfect landing, sweetness, light.

Della Rose Cottage

Della Rose Cottage Della Rose Cottage is being reborn

  The dreams of centuries stripped, torn,

  In pristine condition it should remain,

But slightly twisted, out of frame.

What memories it aspires to evoke,

Since first its chimney extruded smoke,

Thousands of birds have made their nests,

Families born then laid to rest.

The fields around are just the same,

As when Napoleon came to fame,

200 years of laughter, tears,

  Children playing with giggles, jeers.

  When first its humble footings were laid,

Nelson was putting the Danes in the shade,

At Copenhagen he made his name,

  Assuring himself of lasting fame.

Della Rose Cottage has a new mistress now,

A humble lady with skill, know-how,

Her name is Paula she is so bright.

A beautiful lady with skill, foresight.

Wappenham village is in for a treat,

  When at last they gather, meet,

To see the cottage they've known for years,

  Afresh with life full of good cheers.

George Curtis

George Curtis. Curtis born in Dover, Kent for Coventry City heaven sent. His debut, Snowdown Colliery FC, defender, tough, gutsy. Nineteen thirty nine year of birth gave more than his pennyworth. Arrived at Cov. In fifty five Coventry City came alive. Made captain and starts his climb central defender in the line. From forth Div, to the first mediocrity at last reversed. Left for Aston Villa then for Coventry it wasn't amen. Commercial manager in seventy four then managing director, say no more. John Sillett he wants and gets Coventry had no regrets. Tottenham Hotspur were undone I cried, I cried, Coventry had won. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs9SXy3cXa0 http://parareunionclub.freeforums.or...corner-f9.html Last edited by jobee; 25-10-2014 at 06:24 AM.

Love

Love



When I say I love you then,
Would you care to hear again,
Your face reveals nought to me,
I feel I need to find some key.

Im okay within myself,
Would you care to trouble your self,
Ever thought to lower your pride,
Put personal feelings to one side.

Ever thought to be a girl,
With mind and body in a whirl,
To walk and talk then jest with me,
We'll sit beside some country tree.

Holding hands and being nice,
Let our lips touch, once or twice,
I'll just admire your lovely face,
As bodies touch in warm embrace.

Lets sit beside that country pond,
Where you walk and seem so fond,
Where water boatmen skip and play,
Protected from the heat of day.

By weeping willows and fronded trees,
Swaying gently in evenings breeze,
Watch ripples form and circle out,
And baby ducks go walk about.

See speckled sunlight filter down,
On shimmering water that makes us frown,
And rustling reeds that gently sway,
Could it be where fairies play?

Tomorrow then do you agree?
I'll meet you by the village tree,
We'll walk talk and kiss again,
When I say, I love you then.

Fallow Awhile

Fallow Awhile. That quiet corner of a field with nothing edible to yield not to satisfy man's dreams missed by man's machines Fallow a word I recall nothing grows at all bare, wasted, tired a little rest required Not for long though nature wont let go little bursts of green rough ground between The thistle says hello watch this space grow weeds will abound Ignored on fallow ground Then weeds disappear hedge-row plants appear cow parsley, campion, nettles and garlic mustard settles Not big enough to run the show shrubby plants start to grow bramble, dog rose, come on stage tough stayers take advantage Hawthorn, blackthorn, very tough a dense thicket of tangled stuff the quiet corner, fallow no more this final stage will endure.

Gene Kelly.

Gene Kelly
1912-1996.
....
A Pittsburgh, Pennysylvania man
one of five life began.
Mother took him dance classes
called a sissy by lads and lasses.

Gene and brother packed it in
to young to take it on the chin.
Aged fifteen he tried again
pressed for money began to train.

Dance routines with brother Fred
winning contest kept them fed,
Gene enrolled at Pittsburgh University
passing tests with great diversity

Dance and economics qualified
with dance he became preoccupied.
Actor, dancer, producer, director
singer and unique choreographer.

Hilary Devey

Hilary Devey.

Nineteen fifty seven her year of birth

Bolton, middle class for what its worth.

Father in business, seemingly OK

till the bailiffs called one day.

Their pleasant home stripped bare

father not yet an entrepreneur.

A corner shop in Gorton next

father getting somewhat vexed.

Mother giving food away

the locals having a field day.

The never, never, meant just that

not exactly tit for tat.

Mother not the business kind

leaving her in charge, ill timed.

Father trying boozers now

graft, hours, and sweaty brow.

Father having a go at anything

thinking, scheming, actuating.

Hillary more her fathers kind

self control, presence of mind.

Some troubles, but never say die

Pall-Ex the apple of her eye.

Eighteen years and a CBE

a crows a crow, gutsy.
