To catch up with you in time
That would be a lovely bonus
Not just for my tiny mind
But for both of us
Living over times again
It’s my secret combination
Riding on the midday train
To the Aylesbury station
Then approach a taxi stand
Weston Turville I shall say
To Wendover road ahead
Then to 16 Marroway
And the road’s as long as never
It was prior to this ride
You would be surprised how clever
I can travel back in time…
AN AYLESBURY DUCK https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aylesbury_duck
There's a duck
of high renown
bred &reared
in my county town
with orange
feet &plumage light
of culinary fame
this bird of snowy-white
neck so fine
& feathered crown
kept in cottages
now tumble down
reared in hovels & shack
a deep breasted duck
with ample back
an early layer
ready for spring
plucking feathers so tiring
boxed in flats on
London-bound carts
each
Saturday as clockwork
did depart
A Victorian food luxury
the main product of rural
Aylesbury
a duck
of worldwide renown
a noted product
of my home town
Year Posted 2007
an English striker
named White
into France 2019
had the goal always in sight
left foot or right
her golden boot
from all angles
could shoot
with skill not chance
or luck

Owen is Welsh as he comes from Rhuddian,
Lives there but trains in Stoke Mandeville,
In Buckinghamshire, the Aylesbury stadium:
He was born on 30 November 1975, will.
In December 2012 after the Paras, London,
He went to a ParalympicsGB Sports Fest,
Where he discovered that his fiery ambition,
Was shooting, so joined a club in a quest.
He’s competed an many IPC World Cups,
His best finish is 5th spot, a fine placement,
Which happened at Fort Benning, run-ups,
An army training base in the USA cogent.
Through this qualified for Rio’s Games,
And enjoys photography, wood carving,
Quad biking, badminton and he names,
Archery, it’s synchronous with shooting.
Aye 'ee is fierce and hale.
Four mile to work,across the vale;
No slommakin' slattern 'ee,
Okkard as an itching flea.
Eee'd fetch hosses to boss's yard,
Garmed with mud,as thick as lard,
Cla'holt of 'em wiv a rope,
On is own,allus could cope.
Niver sees 'im vexed,or aggled,
Even if drenched and bedraggled;
In lightning 'e wore niver frit,
Though the whole sky wore fork-lit.
Grew peas that kidded well,
Allus 'ad a tale to tell.

Duck pastrami and sausage
Teriyaki glaze
And duck confit cassoulet
Aylesbury duck
in maderia port
A rural
Feed!
A stone font and white duck found it renown
This ancient saxon hill-fort town-
Growing to wealth around its four squares
With regular markets and seasonal fairs
Buying and selling sheep,cattle and mares.
Tribute to my hometown Aylesbury
Aylesbury duck in port
Currant jelly sauce
Bucks bread with beef dripping spread
Then cherry bumpers;
Dandelion and
Burdock brew
Whew!
