some blokes meet up
for a beer and a chat
these chaps do it differently
one could say that
stranger than fiction
perhaps
yes
perhaps
a morris dancer's hat
is rather genteel
somehow or other
these poms look surreal
with their flowers and posies
straw hats and big feet
yet overall really
they all seem quite sweet

Truth is Stranger Than Fiction
Oh this is absolutely brilliant! Especially love the reference to "a morris dancer's hat is rather genteel somehow or other these poms look surreal." Beautifully written. Thank you so much for participating :D
ReplyDeleteLots of love,

I love those hats!!!!!! Truth is definitely stranger than fiction.......your comment on my poem made me laugh out loud. But yes, I will soon start the book!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this. Looked up Morris Dancers and watched a vid - thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun story you penned so nicely in poetry! The rhythm made me feel you might even be pulling my leg. Love the humourt...straw hat and big feet! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHa...I was wondering if anyone would get the joke!
Deletethe accompanying photo is cute. love the hat on the gent. and the poem is just as telling.
ReplyDelete"these chaps do it differently"...they do indeed...the dance with brandishing sticks reminds me of our own Garba dance of Gujarat...folk dances everywhere have the same spirit of joy...
ReplyDeleteGosh - this brings back some memories...it used to be like some secret legion - by invitation only could you inherit the hankies and to be the hobby - well you ruled the town! Girls of course not allowed just a watered down tippy tappy lesson or two in junior school..thanks for this blast from the past
