Jack Horne Poet Rhyme

Carry On Films

When I was young, I loved to see
The Carry On films on TV.
Their humour risqué, slapstick, fun, 
And every line a clever pun.
With Kenneth Williams, Sid James,
And Hattie Jacques: all household names.
In hospital, a camp or fort,
The Carry On team looked for sport.
I think of them and start to smile;
I miss their zany madcap style.

Jack Horne
The Carry On films for Michael’s contest

Carolyn Devonshire January 22, 2012 at 12:40 PM Jack, I have never seen these films, but now I wish I had. The closest thing we had were the Three Stooges films and I always laughed at them. Best wishes in Michael's contest! Love, Carolyn

Andrea Dietrich January 18, 2012 at 10:07 PM I have no idea about the Carry On Films. WAs it something like the Mash? Maybe it is from ages ago on your tv, kind of like our old Laugh In shows that i enjoyed. Cool entry for the contest, jack.
