Wrote this between panic attacks, needs work! I've been far too light hearted of late, tis time I got back to my modus operandi of misery, apologos!
Hugh, Pugh, Barley MacGrew,
everything was new,
glorious in colourful non sense.
'Weed, little weed'
Bill and Ben
and then The Zen
Zebedee with those awful
Concluding words twisting fear
Papa Gigio,Bleep and Booster,
Scooby Dooby Doo!
Fine toned anthem for
Marine Boy, and I was always too late
to see George Best Soccer skills
No matter how hard I ran from school
just the solar plexus punch
Of the final credits every time.
Typhoo cards would have to do for me
Dougal in paleblue plastic from the cornflakes
and Bubble gum football heroes
Free from scandal free from vice
Everything is sweet clean and nice
Wndy Miller drunk as a skunk
on cider and windmill dreams
And Mrs Honeyman gossip supreme
Just an idle peddlar of themes
Nobody hung at the end of her
nosey noosey tongue.

No prizes for guessing what you read in yout spare time! Love it - and the new header - wish you were sitting on the chair though and then we could see what you really look like!
Your new header really has the WOW factor Peadar. How I would love to walk on that beach - it's gorgeous. Love your poem - now I know you're the same age as my children! I missed the bus this week - too many choices to make for the poem and too busy to choose one and work on it.
you fit a helluva lot in there TFE!
They were all before my time, but it sounds good anyway
Congrats on the mag - gwanyagudthing!!! Looking forward to getting a hold of it
... nice read! Though I only recognized Scooby Dooby Doo! Born too early and in the wrong part of the world is my only excuse.
Love the new header...I suppose you are tooo young to remember Muffin The Mule or you could have popped him in there. Love it!!
A-ha! Somebody else remembers Marine Boy apart from me! Oxy-gum, anybody? I real Vicory-V mixed with bubblegum of a pome!
I love the header, too, and the thoughts of getting that Bus Mag in hand!
As to the poem, though, Only Scooby do I know!
God, there's some memories in there. Windy Miller, the butt of many jokes, the Flowerpot Men, was it not Topo Gigio?
And all these years I thought it was Hugh, Pugh Barney MacGrew... Ah, well, learn something every day.
A real gem of a poem - and a flipping marvelous header.
No, no guys, listen to the Camberwick Green, Trumpton and Chigley Queen. It was Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub. By Captain Flack.
And Mrs Honeydew's little dog was called Packet, which was the euphemism my mother had adopted for a poo (which is a shit - poo is my euphemism, and don't get me started on why I ever said "Bottom Noises"), so me and my little brother used to double up laughing on the floor whenever she said "Come on Packet".
My father really did try to get home from market in time to see these programmes.
But Papa Gigio? Who he?
Loved it, especially the solar plexus punch of the final credits.
Jam-packed again, and a great photo to go with. can hardly see the guy there watching us there's so much going on.
