A Lancashire Lad
There was young man from Lancs
who had a strange way of saying thanks.
With his mate Billy
they'd do something silly
like rolling in the mud down the banks....

On This St George's Day
On this St Georges Day
In 1940 On this St Georges Day,
It was my wife Frances' birthday.
Born in The City of Salford,
Up Lancashire way.
76 years have now gone by,
Now I get my chance to say.
Frances, I love you more
With each passing day
Especially on this St Georges Day.

Stewart Nangle
Stewart’s accident almost amputated his leg,
So now he’s a para-shooter from Bacup,
Which is a town in Lancashire, English peg,
He trains at Blackburn RPC to rise up.
In Glasgow’s Commonwealth Games 2014,
He came fifth and was chosen for Rio,
He was born on the 2nd day of July in 1966,
And model making is his top hobby, bio....

The Death of a Lancashire Lad
I bet he's up there, his nag astride,
Ferret in sack, terrier by side.
I bet he's up there charming a lass,
Ciggy in gob and mild in glass.
I bet he's up there seeing united win,
Hollering and swearing " get it in".
I bet he's up there happy at last,
No pain no shame no regrets of the past.
I bet he's up there smirking at us,
Ye silly buggers whats all this fuss....

Tea
Like a dose of penicillin,
beverage extraordinaire,
it warms you when you're chillin',
relaxing in your chair.
In times of tribulation
when you cannot see the light,
choose the tried and true libation -
a brew will set you right!
The healing virtues of this potion
must not be misconstrued;
it's every Lanky's* notion
that a cuppa'll fix your mood!
********
*for a Lancashire person, a province in the north of England...

Three Points Off the Dow Jones
I'm not sure who you were speaking to but the man in the greatcoat assumed it was him and he could have been 'the thin man' or 'the third man' but not the 'bird man of Alcatraz'
see me and
it's jazz painting by Dali
or possibly
Toyah slings Goya on the canvas
she's a lass is our Toyah
but is she from Lancashire?
doubtful.
Tracey
will you race me
around your unmade bed?
There's
nothing peculiar in being peculiar
the peculiar thing is it's not....

Tea
...for my fellow Englishmen (and women!)
Lanky penicillin,
beverage extraordinaire!
warms you when you're chillin',
just relaxin' in your chair.
In times of tribulation
when you cannot see the light,
choose the tried and true libation
'cos a brew will set you right!
The healing virtues of this potion
must not be misconstrued,
it's every Lanky's notion
that a cuppa'll fix your mood!
Note: A 'Lanky' is a person from Lancashire,
...a northwest English county....
