Ding dung

A city fellah, out one day, chanced upon a farm

Said “I think I’ll take a look, it can’t do any harm”

Saw the farmyard animals, thought how they looked cute

Then looking down he noticed something brown upon his suit

He caught up with the farmer and asked him to explain

About the muck on his new suit, and would it leave a stain

The farmer then reluctantly bent down to taste a bit

Confirming to the city boy the brown stuff wasn’t shit

“this ‘ere piece of brown stuff, I ‘ave upon my tongue

I can confirm and verify, isn’t shit, it’s dung

This lonely little verse is fun now you just get them out of the muck and start writing more. I have Pam Ayres book here and haven't read it, but I guess this one is along her way of thinking LOL ,Yours Ian.T

John

We are of the Howard family in Norfolk, my father came from Dearham and married Mum in Wiltshire. So I will leave it up to you to work out the accent that I can have, you aint got a chance there John. I am a MOONRAKER by birth, could tell you many a tale from there. Our family were in the first world war, and only lost one brother out of Seven that went to fight, That was Jesse John Howard and his name is on the Dearham War memorial. I see you are in East Anglia and thats close. There is even a Howard Cresent in Dearham named after our Family hey scratch my head it's out there some place LOL, Now you take care out there and mind that white stuff this week Yours Ian.T

Well isnt it a small world I

Well isnt it a small world I live in Dereham, the next time I go into town I'll take a look at the memorial. i think a Wiltshire/Norfolk accent would be ideal for reading Pams poems. we've been pretty lucky with the snow so far, I'm working in Great Yarmouth at the moment and they've not had any yet.
