Iwas Just Reading Your Felixstowe Magazine and Kesgrave Afc

>I was thinking of writing a letter to the Felixstowe radio, well the people who run it, not the radio itself.  That would be daft, wouldn’t it?  Writing to a radio.  But if I do this is what I’m going to say.

I was just reading your Felixstowe magazine

I was just reading your Felixstowe magazine.
In the Cafe above your local radio.
Drinking my decaff coffee, you know.
Which I will pay for, before I go.

I have been on your local radio.
Was on a desert island disc type show.
My motive was to advertise.
But that you knew, was no surprise.

I have a beach hut down here.
The Vandals know it well I fear.
So I’ll not mention where just here.
Hope you don’t mind me mentioning that here.

But I just want to let you know.
I write books, just told you so.
About Smarty a search and rescue dog.
Who found all that gold and it did flog.

Just the reward, I meant to say.
As the government took the gold away.
That which was found under Landguard Fort.
Which was kept a secret, as government ought.

I also write daft poems too.
Smarty thinks they are daft as well.
I could have used too there as well.
But it does not sound good using too twice as well.

Bother used as well thrice, Shakespeare would say that’s nice.  Now, if my eighteen books you want to view.  They are all on the Internet too.
www.feedfaread.com?>aff=6463 Google that and you might find me.  Stanley Russell Harris, (the mad author,) me.  And of course those books, you might want to see.


I have checked today with my grandson Jay to ensure the football team’s initials he plays for are correct.

Kesgrave AFC

Grandson Jay is a keen footballer.
Put poor old grandad in goal.
Put all sorts of balls passed him.
In that small sized goal.

Grandad was a football player.
A very long time ago.
Said he played left outside.
He got that the wrong way round you know.

Grandson Jay should be a striker.
He is good at scoring goals.
As when he plays for Kesgrave AFC.
One of the scorers he does sometimes be.

But when at home Jay’s so quick.
For practice balls so to kick.
But poor old grandad just move slow.
As that’s the speed he now does go.

Grandad is quite good in goal.
So is grandson scoring, just be told.
And if you do need a replay?
Find someone else grandad’s away.

Next time, it will be fun.
Grandad, did a rain dance, just one.
And bless, if it does not rain.
Will send for relations from Hartwell.
That’s bound to make it rain quite well.
Won’t need a referee on that day.
As will have Marshall’s here I say.<
