Diane Christian Poet Rhyme

Eurovision past, present, future

It was nineteen seventy six 
When a great band sang about saving a kiss 
Such a jolly song
That anyone could sing along 
I learned the words off by heart 
And entered a singing contest 
While on holiday
Save all your kisses for me
Save all your kisses for me
Always  a great memory 
I'll never forget the day that
 As some candy was  awarded to me.

Mark Toney June 15, 2024 at 12:00 PM Diane, thank you for taking us on your nostalgic walk in the past, when the Brotherhood of Man won Eurovision for the UK. I do not have any candy for you, but I do offer congratulations on your sweet win in the contest! Diane Christian June 15, 2024 at 12:04 PM Thank you so much I will never forget that year Been young but remembering the words was easy

Dennis Spilchuk June 9, 2024 at 11:19 AM Nostalgic verse and nicely written. "Save Your Kisses For Me" by Brotherhood Of Man (Classic Eurovision Song, UK Winner 1976). Take care and wishing you the best. Diane Christian June 9, 2024 at 11:20 AM Thank you

Silent One June 7, 2024 at 1:06 PM The UK are always discriminated in this contest, in my opinion.. or maybe we just dont make our songs cheesy enough... nice entry for the contest.. Diane Christian June 8, 2024 at 11:55 AM True I also liked the bucks fizz one making your mind up

Gershon Wolf May 20, 2024 at 6:22 PM Hi, Diana. Thanks for poetically pointing out the contrast between the unencumbered good-heartedness of the the winning song in 1976 with the tortured vibes of this year's winner --- not to mention the politicization, with the attack dogs going after Israel's contestant. Makes me long for yesterday. ~ Gershon Diane Christian June 9, 2024 at 11:21 AM Thank you
