It wasn't the Northumbrian pipes, it was the Uilleann pipes...



We were talking about the pipes a day or so go, so here's the one I was thinking about, one and all!

I just love this and somehow, the sentiments of the words are pretty-well spot on at the moment!

  1. You, you, you! You are the only person who
    Made last night's tears come back again.
    Now I'll have to go back once more
    To find the core of why were here.

    We've been given one more chance
    To "Ring around the rosies
    With a pocket full of posies."
    So what's your favourite dance?

    Don't do it Scrobs as it may go viral
    So please don't tango on your wife's new table
    Or you will be rather liable
    To be bedded down without your cocoa.

    At least I've got good DVD's
    So I can watch them and just as I please.
    There's Wallace and Gromit, then there's Poirot and Morse
    Along with The Green Mile and others of course.

    Just a little Ps for my little dear Scrobs.
    If you find you're out of a job
    There's always a GG that will be behind you.
    A long, long way behind you!

  2. Goosey - you are a starlet amongst a heaven of brightness, shining out from an abyss of deep light, and also a beacon... (that's enough hyperbole - Ed).

    Lovely poem - I'm with you all the way; even that far!

    That bit of the pipes just gets me 'there', and Steve Winwood is a man from all my music-loving past, he deserves all he can get!

  3. Monsieur Scrobs. I feel so unworthy of your kind accolade, but maybe it's your most beautiful prose that inspired me to go onto eBay to get a new battery for my torch because:-

    "I fear the tyger burning bright
    In the darkness of the night.
    We won a war, then others came
    To make us think life's just a game.

    Play your cards you've all been given.
    Make the most when your heart's been riven.
    There's no more bets. Rien ne va plus.
    Is there no more we could do?

    Touching out to someone near
    Just to alleviate their fear
    Your ambience will always stay
    With both of you to your dying day.

  5. You've left my keyboard wet with tears.
    I do so wish they'd wipe out fears.
    Where have all those children gone
    Who used to Hopscotch in the sun?

    Now we've all been hunkering down
    In a city or in a town.
    Our world will never be the same again.
    Forget the climate and acid rain.

    Remember why your heart's still lives.
    It's that which helps the love you give.
    You'll never know how much it means
    To all your family, kith and kins.

    I'll put my hugs on Amazon
    As they're always free if you just log on.
    Just find my website then you'll get
    The bestest hugs on the internet.

  6. I'll send you my password, GG, and we'll have a hug that way!

    Poetry from the heart, in an instant is so important.
