ODE TO GOYERS

38 comments


What a funny old week which I started off bad,
feeling grouchy and gloomy and really quite sad
The downer got worser not helped by the chill of the
air in the greenhouse, the plants looking ill
Im still hibernating and worse still to come, a cold in
the head, need a whisky or rum
I turn on the puter and what do I find
A group of mad people – yet exceedingly kind!
They blow melancholy right out of my head
and replace it with tears of laughter instead
The cold I still have, but depression took flight
As I chuckled my way thro A Full Moon Tonight
And Stourhead held more than beauty and charm
As we laughed our way round it, arm in arm
Im now feeling happy, not a cloud in the sky
Cept for sore ribs and tear ducts that ran dry
If you need any cure, the place is right here
with your doolally Goyers..
what a start to this year!

A great rhyme from Tetra
Who'd had a bad day
She spotted I betcha
The truth we all know

That exactly describes my Feb blues, this week particularly bad as hubby still hasn`t collected my compost, grrr, promised to rectify that tomorrow, when asked why can`t we nip out now?, his answer was, "Turn on your gardening programme,the compost isn`t going anywhere and its blooming cold out there" lol.. Is he really thinking about my welfare or his own,?

A laugh with your friends

Its the picture in my mind of you saddling up champion the wonder horse and chasing rabbits-- Don Quixote tilting at windmills ¦:0))

3 Feb, 2011

 

Thanks but yours is very good too :o)

3 Feb, 2011

 

I stopped doing Don Quixote when I grew out of my armour Pam...devil of a job when it got too tight! I decided the Lone Ranger was better cos I got a stretch mask!

I also have a job trying to pig stick rabbits..my sight not what it used to be...

3 Feb, 2011

 

Oh..I got an AK47..easier with spray bullets! LOL!

Lincslass, has that OH of yours got your compost yet? Do you want us all to gang up on him?? The sight of boggle eyed mooonsters will surely drive him as far as the GC!!

4 Feb, 2011

 

I have blackmailing power Tetra, he loves his bacon, I don`t have any, so deliberately overlooked that fact, Focus is one end of retail park and supermarket at other, I`m gonna get it today, lol....

4 Feb, 2011

 

Lincslass..you MUST join us mooonsters immediately..Ive just promoted you to Chief Strategist!!!

4 Feb, 2011

 

YAY!!!! It worked, he got his bacon and I have one huge bag of compost, work starts in greenhouse tomorrow and I`m a happy goyer.......

4 Feb, 2011

 

AND your Chief Strategist..hang on..cant find a medal..will a cardigan button do??

4 Feb, 2011

 

Will if its nice and shiny,lol..

4 Feb, 2011

 

I will spray it gold!

4 Feb, 2011

 

Was so sad to hear Tet, was feeling so down,
but her 'Sisters' are here and we're 'mooning' around.
At tilting at windmills, don't get caught by a spoke,
or your lance could be rather, unfortunately broke!
Those sweet little wabbits, would soon be in heaven,
should they be caught in the spray of your AK47...!
I'm sure I hear 'Bright eyes' from somewhere up high,
or maybe it's Yorkshire's Full moon in the sky!
Glad we've kept you laughing, you're not feeling so sad,
It's your pal, Flori-Lauri, and you're right, we're all mad!
But madness on Goy, can be an infectious state,
So keep smiling my friend, with our love, all your mates xxx\0/x

4 Feb, 2011

 

MAD ? US ? NEVER !!! ;-)))

Here's Flori, like Venus, she rose from the sea
to spout even better poetry than me
we thought she had left us, we were so forlorn
But then she pops up, where d'ya think she had gorn?
I have no idea, and I dont really care cos
I'm only too glad that she's no longer there
But here with her mates, just where she should be
No sidetracked in Stourhead but back here with we!

5 Feb, 2011

 

By the way Sanbaz, how are your little trees holding up in all this wind..hope they are okay still!

5 Feb, 2011

 

Tet, your poetry ramblings, have left me so touched,
And I did like your ode, oh so terribly much...
So gifted and witty, and so awfully bright,
no wonder we get on, we are just so much alike!
And 'Sisters' and 'Moonies', should never compete,
as we share repartee, each time that we meet.
But here on your page, it is so plain to see...
that we both are quite potty, so in good company!\0/x Tee hee hee!

5 Feb, 2011

 

Florrie it takes ages to blossom in verse
There are days when its funny and days when its worse
Today I take umbrage..this is NOT my page
And you saying that has put me in a rage

But hist! I'll calm down cos Stourhead's a star
To Moonies great glow and that, it cant mar
I'll allow that we're potty and share great repartee
But Ive just changed my mind..war is highly likely!

Sheez, Ive always wanted to use the word "hist"! Nice one lol!

5 Feb, 2011

 

Oh well versed girls!!
