Hi Old doll, I LOVE apple pie, I'm off to the travel agent to get a plane ticket, ps, keep the calories in the cream, after all, their is a limit to how healthy we need to be. I think this new tea drinkers blue page layout is quite cool.
pps - can't you send us some of your rain, we are melting over here, with terrible fires raging all over
ppps - after reading your post I wrote a poem/song about tea, but it is still in my longhand scrawl - not yet typed up.

Hi Alan, that could possibly be the old song about ''Buy me a Chevrolet'', I can't recall the name, maybe you could do an updated version with a new twist-lol.

Hi henry, You never can be too sure, a few hundred years ago I might have been one of the innovators who decided to buck the trend. Just some ''vegetables'' for thought.--lol

THE  VEGGIE          BUVVY        19-02-09

I  AM  A  VEGETARIAN
PROUD  AND  TRUE
I  WILL  NEVER  EAT  MEAT
HOW  DOES  THAT  SOUND  TO  YOU
FRIED  EGGS  WILL  NEVER  SEE  MY  PLATE
SO  DON’T  INVITE  ME  TO  DINNER
OR  I  WILL  BE  LATE
NO  FISH  WILL  ADORN  MY  TABLE
AS  LONG  AS  I  AM  ABLE
TO  CHOOSE  BETWEEN  RIGHT  AND  WRONG
WHEN  I  SEE  MEAT
I  WILL  NEVER  BURST  INTO  SONG
SO  IF  I  AM  TO  ROAM
AMONGST  SCOTTISH  HEATHER
I  HAD  BETTER  REMEMBER
THE  VERY  COLD  WEATHER
AND  TAKE  A  FLASK  OF  HOT  TEA
TO  BE  SHARED
BETWEEN  KEN  AND  ME
LET’S  GO  BACK  A  FEW  HUNDRED  YEARS
THE  AMOUNT  OF  ANIMALS
ON  OUR  PLANET
WAS  SOMETHING  VERY  SPECIAL
TO  BE  ADMIRED  AND  SEEN
BY  ALL  AND  SUNDRY
EVEN  KINGS  AND  QUEENS
MAHARAJAS’  TOO
UNTIL  SENSELESS  MAN
DECIDED  TO  REDUCE  THEM  ALL
TO  ONLY  A  VERY  FEW
NOW  IS  THE  TIME  TO  ACT
GIVE  UP  OUR  BARBARIC  WAYS
LETS’  LEAVE  THE  ANIMALS  IN  THE  FIELDS
WHERE  ALL  THEY  WANT  TO  DO
IS  STROLL  AROUND  AND  GRAZE

Hi Doc, you say that the devastation going on in the Middle East is not ''human'', it is only the so called ''human'' race that kills, maims, murders and violates for financial or personal gain. In the animal kingdom animals only kill to survive, and then go back to living in harmony. If only the powers that be would listen more intently to nature, then maybe we could all live in harmony - the way it should be. My poem is meant to reflect the utter madness and futility of war as it is always the innocents who suffer. But thankx for taking the time to comment.

Hey Wlbaye, I was 21 when this went down - can you imagine how the cop felt when he was told to go and stop the BEATLES from performing their very LAST public performance. As for the bankers - if they had rather listened to the music the worlds' finances might be in better shape to-day lol - just a thought. Aren't memories wonderful.

Hey Topdown, that was the best ''answer'' to a ''question'' i have ever come across in my life. Absolutely brilliant - accolades to you. I have loved Blues music since the 60's - but now i'm starting to feel just a little bit nervous. lol.

CANNED  HUNTING        BUVVY    16-01-09

This poem is about one of the most barbaric and disgusting practises allowed in our country - all in the name of money.

YOU  PATHETIC  LITTLE  MAN
SHOOTING  THRU’  A  CAN
KILLING  KILLING  AND  KILLING
EVERY  LION  THAT  YOU  CAN
YOUR  MIND  IS  SMALL
YOUR  SPIRIT  IS  WEAK
EVERY  TIME  YOU  PULL  THE  TRIGGER
MANKIND  FEELS  THE  LOSS
OF  ANOTHER  LION  IN  THE  CAN
GREAT  BIG  GUN
GREAT  BIG  MAN
RELEASE  THE  LION  FROM  HIS  CAN
LEAVE  THE  TRIGGER  OF  THE  GUN
LEAVE  THE  LION
TO  HIS  RIGHTFUL  LIFE  IN  THE  SUN
HUNTING  PARTY  OF  FIVE
WON’T  LEAVE  ANY  LION  ALIVE
IT  IS  SUCH  FUN
FOR  ALL  OF  US  FIVE
TO  NEVER  LEAVE  ANY  LION  ALIVE
LOOK  THRU’  THE  SCOPE
FOR  THE  LION – THERE  IS  NO  HOPE
TIED  TO  A  TREE
BEHIND  A  FENCE
WHERE  HIS  POWERS  OF  DEFENCE
ARE  USELESS  AGAINST  YOU  AND  ME
SO  SHOW  SOME COMPASSION
DISCARD  YOUR  GUN
AND  LEAVE  GOD’S  LIONS
FOR  MEN,  CHILDREN  AND  EVERYONE
THROW  AWAY  YOUR  GUNS
PULL  DOWN  THE  FENCES
THROW  AWAY  YOUR  ROPE
FOR  A  LION
CANNED  HUNTING
IS  ANYTHING  BUT  A  JOKE
BUT  REMEMBER  THE  WRATH
OF  THE  ANIMALS’  GUARDIAN
WHO  SEES  IT  ALL
AND  FEELS  THEIR  PAIN
WHEN  YOUR  TIME  COMES
THEY  WILL  MAKE  SURE
YOUR  PAIN  IS  THE  SAME
SO  LEAVE THE  LIONS  WHERE  THEY  ARE
THE  SPIRITS’  REVENGE
WILL  COME  FROM  AFAR
TO  LET YOU  SHARE
THE  LIONS  PAIN  AND  DESPAIR

You like it, it looks good - so OWN IT. Even if you never play it - you can just look at it  and close your eyes and dream of what it's history night be. Life is tooooo short to worry about trivialities - BUY IT.

Some of you old pensioners make me feel like a sprog  again - lets see - I was born in 1947, so that should make me a measly 61 and if my memory department is still working I should be 62 on the 2nd of June, I still love rock and roll, specially the 60's , but sadly my guitar playing fan base consists only of my 8 dogs.

Is it my imagination that happy poems seem  to elicit no response - when one considers the acrimonious start to the poem section I seem to think that the start has been rather slow - maybe it's the holidays.  I wrote this poem  after watching the news this evening - it is supposed to be a new year - but is it really?

GAZA        BUVVY        04-01-09

PALESTINE  TURNS  THE  SCREWS
THE  ISRAELIS’  SAY
DON’T  BOMB  THE  JEWS
WE  WILL  FIGHT  BACK
YOU  WILL  NEVER  BREAK  OUR  BACK
TANKS  AND  PLANES
ARE  IN  OUR  ARMORY
THEY  ARE  NOT  FOR  PLAYING  GAMES
GUNS  AND  MISSILES
BOMBS  FROM  OUR  PLANES
NEVER  AGAIN, 
WILL  ISRAEL  PLAY  GAMES
DON’T  FIRE  YOUR  ROCKETS
NEW  YORK  IS  IN  OUR  POCKETS
THEY  HAVE  THE  MONEY
WE  HAVE  THE  POWER
ISRAELI  SAND
HAS  DEVASTATING  FIRE  POWER
MADNESS  REIGNS
FROM  BOTH  SIDES  PLANES
WOMEN  AND  CHILDREN  ARE  KILLED
WHILE  OUTSIDE  PLAYING  GAMES
IS  THIS  FAIR – BOTH  SIDES  DECLARE
WE  DON’T  KNOW  WHO  WANTS  THIS  WAR
BOTH  SIDES  CAN  NEVER  EVEN  THE  SCORE
OLD  AND  YOUNG,  MIGHTY  AND  WEAK
SLAUGHTERING  PEOPLE  LIKE  INNOCENT  SHEEP
BLOOD  OF  THE  LAMB
DEATH  IS  IN  A  CAN
GOD  ALMIGHTY  SAYS
GIVE  BACK  MY  LAMB
YOU  PEOPLE  ARE  CRAZY
I’D  EVEN  SAY  MAD
WHAT  ALL  OF  YOU  ARE  DOING
IS  MAKING  ME  SAD
SO  SLOW  DOWN  YOUR  GUNS
HARNESS  YOUR  BOMBS
B OTH  SIDES  NEED  TO  SIT  DOWN  AND  TALK
WITH  GREAT  APLOMB
LET  PEACE  BE  DECLARED
LET  SANITY  REIGN
LETS’  ALL SHARE  DESERT  SAND
AND  END  ALL  PAIN
LET  PEACE  RETURN  TO  ALL  MY  LAND
PAVED,  ASPHALT
OR  JUST  DESERT  SAND.

This is the last in a trilogy of cheerful new year poems. Wouldn't it be great if the whole of this year [and forever more] could always be sunny and cheerful.

ANOTHER  NEW  YEAR        BUVVY        01-01-09

A  NEW  YEAR  HAS  BEGUN
THE  FIRST  DAY  HAS  DAWNED
THE  SUN  IS  SHINING  HIGH
THE  SKY  IS  ADORNED
THE  MOOD  IS  BRIGHT  AND  CHEERFUL
THE  PEOPLE  WON’T  BE  FEARFUL
LETS’  NOT  TALK  OF  GLOOM  AND  DOOM
RATHER  FOCUS  ON  GRAN’S  HEIRLOOM
CHERISH  THE  THOUGHT
THAT  ALL  CRIME  SHALL  COME  TO  NOUGHT
CRIME  SHALL  STAY  AWAY
NEVER  MIND  ON ANOTHER  DAY
BIRDS  COME  TO  OUR  GARDEN  TO  SING
SWAMBO  RANG  THEIR  BELL
DING  DING  DING  A’LING
THEIR  BOWLS  ARE  FULL  OF  SEED
THEIR  WATERS’  IN  THE  TROUGHS
LITTLE  BIRDY  FEET
STOMPED  ALL OVER  GREEN  GRASS
SWIMMING  IN  OUR  POOL
HOW  WE  LOVE – TO  PLAY  THE  FOOL
SO  IF  THIS  POEM  OFFENDS
BY  ITS’  SUNNY  NATURE
TAKE  IT  BY  THE  TAIL
AND  COMPARE  IT  TO  THE  HOLY  GRAIL
WE  WON’T  BE  PUSHED  AROUND
I  HAVE  A  HUGE  HI-FI
WITH  A  MASSIVE  SENS-SURROUND
LET’S  HAVE  NO  TALK  OF  WAR
LET’S  HAVE  NO  MISABUSED  POWER
THIS  LOVELY  YEAR

Being the first day of the new year calls for happy vibes and thoughts so the following words came to mind.


NEW  YEARS  DAY    BUVVY        01-01-2009

A  NEW  YEAR  DAWNS
THE  FIRST  DAY  BEGINS
MAYBE  MAN  WILL  FORGET  HIS  CRAZY  SINS
THE  DAY  DAWNS  BRIGHT  AND  BLUE
LETS  NOT  FORGET
AFRICA – WE  LOVE  YOU
THE  SUN  IS  HIGH
IN  AN  AFRICAN  SKY
IT  IS  TIME  FOR  ALL  MEN  TO  CRY
LETS’  START  AFRESH
OR  AT  LEAST  ANEW
BECAUSE  MANKIND
THE  ESOTERIC  SPIRITS
HAVE  GREAT  LOVE  FOR  YOU
GOD  HAS  NO  NAME
TO  THE  NATURAL  SPIRITS
IT  IS  ALL  THE  SAME
ONLY  MAN  MUST  LABEL
THE  CRAZY  RELIGIONS
COMING  FROM ONLY  ONE  STABLE
ESOTERIC  CALLING
MEN  FROM  UP  HIGH
JUST  KEEP  ON  FALLING
LET  THE  YEAR  ROLL  ON
FROM  OUR  POINT  OF  VIEW
IT  IS  NEVER  TOO  LONG
BLUE  SKIES  REIGN
OVER  A  VAST  AFRICAN  PLAIN
SUNNY  AND  BRIGHT
IN  EVERY  DAY
WE  TAKE  GREAT  DELIGHT
LETS’  ALL  CALL  FOR  PEACE
LETS’  ALL  CALL  FOR  LAUGHTER
LETS’  ALL  RAISE  OUR  VOICES
AND  DEMAND  AN  END  TO  SLAUGHTER
THE  TIME  HAS  COME
SAID  MANY  MEN
FOR  PEACEFUL  TIMES
TO  REIGN  AGAIN

Aiden is the two year old son of friends of ours' who spent new years' eve and day with us. I penned these words purely as a poem to him as he was having the time of his life playing in the swimming pool with his dad Greg. If anyone feels that they have chords that they would like to fit - please feel free.



AIDEN            Buvvy  01/01/2009
SMALL   &  SHORT,  NOT  TOO  STOUT
CURLY  BLOND  HAIR  ABOVE  HIS  SNOUT
AIDEN  THE  MAN
THE  NEWBORN  OF  THE  LOCKIE  CLAN
NOT  IN  SCHOOL
DON’T  BE  A  FOOL
HE  IS  WAY  TOO  COOL
ALSO  FAR  TOO  YOUNG
TO  CARRY  A  GUN
MAYBE  A  PLASTIC  ONE  -  JUST  FOR  FUN
LIFE  AT  THE  MOMENT
TAKES  UP  HIS  TIME
OF SLEEPING,  EATING  &  STAYING  FINE
DOES  HE  SCREAM
SOME  OF   THE  TIME
CAN  HE  SHOUT
BELIEVE  ME,  THERE  IS  NO  DOUBT
EATING,  SLEEPING,  DRINKING  TOO
I  JUST  HOPE  YOU  NEVER  TAKE  HIM  TO  A  ZOO
PUT  HIM  IN  THE  POOL
POOR  DAD,  HE  THINKS  YOU’RE  A  FOOL
LITTLE  BOAT,  FULL  OF  AIR
AS  LONG  AS  HE  DOESN’T  WET  HIS  HAIR
WILL  HE  SINK
NOT  REALLY   WE  THINK
LOTS  OF  FUN
THE  FIRST  OF  JANUARY
LET’S  TELL  EVERYONE
HOW  I  ENJOYED  A  DAY  IN  THE  POOL
AND  DAD  -  I  DON’T  THINK  YOU’RE  A  FOOL
I  ACTUALLY  THINK  YOU’RE  VERY  COOL

Hi DC - a very sad but true indictment of so called civilisation. Well done - excellent words.

NO. Poetry is written in the main by more or less ''normal'' people [this also depends on your definition of normal]. RAP is espoused by dyslexic midgets who all seem to shop in the extra giant size clothing stores and whose arms and fingers seem to be operated by remote control.

Hi Roger - I fully agree. All criticisms are appreciated as they work towards an end result of improved writing which translates into better music. Thankx again.
