Ive been writing some silly songs for a uke group( silly songs for a silly instrument)
BIG Banana
he`s got a BIG banana
at the top of the tree
he`s such a show off
waving it round for all to see
we wish we had a BIG banana too
the wind got up
blowing him down
falling from the tree
joining all the guys
sitting on the ground
the smile was wiped from his face
when he saw his banana was broke
now he`s like all the rest
cause he`s got a small banana too

1980`s band looks a bit dated now but a great song
kiwi country from 1987 everyone in NZ knows this one

Neo
yeah you aussies claim all our best bands
This is from 1969 from a time when i had brown hair and pimples.
This band were the first nz band to write their own songs,i know its hard to believe
but we pretty well just covered uk bands up till about 1966-7

I can already imagine a CARTOON image of that visual climbing Mt Everest easybeat lol, could be a poem or song in that
Oh yeah Jan
if i climbed Mt Everest naked my wife would probably break it off.
Jan And Grah
thank you sooooo much for you interest.
its a bloody hard unforgiving thankless task writing a book.
Well the writing, i wrote 25 poems in a hour and stupidly thought i`m well on my way.
Looking back now that was the easy part,that was about 2% of what was required.
To self publish i had to learn publishing/barcodes/registration/copy right/ printing/illustration.
and now i have to learn promotion/marketing and distribution.
people ask me will i do it again?
i might climb Mt Everest naked instead,it would be far easier.

finally my book is printed,ending a long hard journey.
heres a wee link
without the encouragement of chordie members i would never have attempted this
thanks.
brilliant writing chaps
fell asleep last night
with my laptop on my lap
woke this morning
with the drone of my phone
cant seem to forget
about the internet
What a bummer

My kids book is finally going to print in a week.
thought id get Peatle to do a vid of one of the poems.
Ive got a few song versions of these to use as promo for when the book comes out.
ditto Peatle !
New Zealand at it's finest right there boys !
Now it's Jan's turn
Come on TiG you are good with words,how about some poems.
today i received an email from a school friend from 55 yrs ago.it got me thinking of my reply to him.
Wealthy Man
never thought i would get here
when i was a younger man
but im just around the corner
from three score years and ten
my fathers generation
rarely got to this age
a harder life back then
i havent changed that much
just old and hair thats turned to grey
i may move a little slower now
but im not in a hurry anyway
they say that health is wealth
so i feel so very lucky
that im a wealthy man
my four words from random generate
distortion
know
jewel
dedicate
Neo
maybe you are not old enough to understand this song.
trust me as you get older ,much of it is true.(something for you to look forward to?)
maybe your best yet me thinks
Theres been some left field poems recently thought i`d add another
Fast Lane
she burned her life
living in the fast lane
all the drugs she`d taken
and men she`d slept
her life went down the drain
she was only 30
though looked of 20 more
then that fateful night
after another day drinking alone
she was run over
while sleeping on the road
and so ending her life
as she had lived it
in the fast lane
Phill
Fab yeah yeah yeah
Interesting comments guys.
Im still a cash person(for day to day smaller purchases)
when a young person behind the counter gives me funny look when i hand over cash.
i always say, when the power goes out,you`ll be ********** ill still have cash in my pocket.
on the other subject re internet etc,i have given up on news ages ago there is too much bias and opinion.
so now i go to specific sites that just report news.
eg business/cricket/farming/real estate/music /tennis
i realised my opinion wont change anything.but i want to be informed on what interests me.
so now i dont get hit up about stuff i cant control.
Nice writing Phill,good to see you posting a poem.
Pete
another gem from your pen.
Phill
maybe free swimming is when you sneak into a pool without paying?
