Best Welly Poems

You cannot say tinker now.
It's simply not allowed.
If we are to be PC.
Not stand out from the crowd.

I love the way tinker sounds.
Memories from my youth. 
Shrouded in woolly blankets.
Scary to tell the truth.

Turf fire smell and welly boots.
Bare legs beneath long skirts.
Strange accents from...

Cunningly swinging
On the trees of life
Playing his pranks
Winding up the wife

Enjoying every challenge
Using his brain
Owning it. Bossing it
Playing the game

He's a Chinese Monkey 
- a little bit spunky
A little bit of attitude
A little bit of grit

Dashing, darting
With daring and drive
Top of the tree
And feeling alive

Dancing...

We splashed and dashed
We cared no jot
No inhibitions
Or adult rot

The rain was cool
The muddy puddles
No obstacles
No silent troubles

Just joyful freedom
With innocence
No hidden agenda
Or false pretence

I'm not sure when
We made the change
When childhood joy
Crept out of range

Although we've grown
Matured I'd say
In one sense drifted
Too far away..

Among all beast from the Far East
This leopard is the beast of the east
He is so swift with clappers and claws
Claws that joy in breaking jaws 
In or out of the many land laws
When you see him in a fare hunt he never withdraws
Until he...

Weekend of Sunshine
Flood waters now receded
Still need welly boots...

Knocking on doors,
Collecting wood,
Penny for the "Guy",
All was good.
Catherine wheels,
Whistling rockets,
Treacle toffee,
Stuffed in pockets,
Every neighbour,
From our street,
Deadly rip raps,
Dance at your feet,
Charcoal spuds,
Potato pie,
Kids with sparklers,
And big bright eyes.
Dancing flames,
What a sight,
Teenagers with air-bombs,
Gave grannies a fright.
Trays of Parkin,
Black Peas galore,
Bonfire Night,
Was never a bore.
Rosy...

Cooking lunch for Derek
Baking for your tea
I like playing with you
And sitting on your knee
With lots of kisses and cuddles
Counting buttons or playing with cars
Daft welly jumping puddles
There's no one like our Great Grandma...

I am just a scarecrow
but my life is now quite dire,
they have decided this year
to put me on a fire.

Who is this chap named Guy Faulkes
I do not want to be him
I love to stand in my field
and scare upon a whim.

I'm very good at...

Time and Time again
 Uncle Poppy sat on Brutus's back
 Brutus stood still never to move a jot
 So in order to offer an inducement
 In the lead was Molly sent
 Uncle Poppy mounted Brutus,
 __sat on it's back----
 Then flanked Brutus 
----gave it a...

“Knock, knock” “Who’s there?”  I haven’t a clue
What day is it? Who’s at my door?
“Here is some breakfast I made just for you”
Says some stranger who slept on my floor
The sight of the eggs and the bacon and tea
Turns my stomach inside upside down
Migraine’s...

They call me gobby
I’m just all mouth
It’s like my hobby
You can call me ralph
I got some larrup
I don’t shut my trap
It’s like I gallop
This gift of the gab 




I’ve got more mouth
Then you’ve got money 
Hey my north and south
Got plenty of bunny
I can’t seem...

The sole praise for being blessed is priceless.
Inhale the soft glow of the soul welly.
It's false to force others to your embrace. 
He just pulls the faint air from blessed body. 
Desire to get rid of gloom and sadness.

What a gloss golden chance to be...

A glorious azure summer sky,
Triumphant with its blazing sun
Bestows the land with warmth and life
And lifts the hearts of everyone.

The Village fete is on today!
Come young and old, come rich and poor
To hear excited children laugh
To see old friends; perhaps make more…

Bright bunting in a...

A Couple Of Nags


A couple of fellows who weren't very bright
Got terribly drunk in the pub one night
It gave them a bit of a shock of course
When in a drunk bet... They each won a horse

With just enough money for chips and some haddock
They couldn't...
