For the Wordle Winners.Barbra Seville, Pamela de Ville, and Footesque.

Napowrimo Poem 1

Prompt..Shuffle A Prompt
mash of five song titles.

Oh mistress mine where are you roaming
Don't drink that Cheap Red Wine
Drink to me only with thine eyes
Cool Clear Water

Hit me with your rhythm stick
hit me, hit me..Rawhiiiiiide!
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

I feel the earth move
when you wear that
itsy bitsy teeny weeny
yellow polka dot bikini

Footesque's footsteps on the dance floor
reminds me baby of you
Bessie May Mucho Baby
let's take a turn around Nashville
and do the Tennessee Waltz

Tiptoe throught the tulips with me
You light up my life though your
tiny hand is frozen like the yellow rose
of Austin Texas

When Flora smiles
her light beguiles
both night and day
No need for jealousy

We are family
I've got all my sisters with me
Pammy Babzy Footsie and me
Huzzah Howzat!

  2. My favourite has to be..."Hit me with your rhythm stick
    hit me, hit me..Rawhiiiiiide!
    I'm a legal alien
    I'm an Englishman in New York"

    Fantastic! I was that Englishman but long before Ian Dury or ting wrote their songs!

    And now for a spot of feckless advertising!

    In a corner of Wessex, in an England just like ours but different, lays the peaceful hamlet of Fekenham Swarberry; where ale is pulled from wooden barrels, leather balls smack resoundingly against bats of willow as the local vicar smokes weed while the publican consorts with loose women.
    Wander into The Frog and Radiator where a fire burns in the grate and a warm pint of Widows Whiskers sits waiting to be drunk. A welcome awaits all those who journey to Fekenham so why not join us as the villagers re-tell once again the story of ‘The Snatch Kiss Affair’? Repeated tales are often the best they say so c’mon, pop on over, you know where to find us:

    “C.J brings Fekenham Swarberry to life with his rich, often irreverent characters. He draws you into the reassuringly familiar landscape and before you realise that all is not as it appears, you are hooked, trapped, unable to leave, unlikely as you would want that. Fekenham Swarberry bursts with vitality. It’s real, believable and a des-res for contemporary fiction dwellers.”

  7. You are lucky I'm a soft touch re including your advertising campaign Cecil Jeeves.

    Glad you enjoyed Rawhide,although I think you are getting a bit long in the tooth for that sort of caper.I wouldn't be hanging out with the local vicar either!

  8. That's what I like - back2back tracks, no talk over the fadeout, no adverts.

  10. Tie a yellow ribbon round
    me and my Teddy Bear have
    no one but you could take my
    heart of my heart brings back a
    melodie d'amour, play this song
    of songs, night of memories
    are made of this.

    BTW CJ's "Village Tales of Fakenham Swarberry" is a pretty good read.
