Whasson, You
Words from Wiltshire
Hard to define all
You say Mildenhall 
And I say Minal
“Ere, whasson?” 
We say in Wiltshire
“Ere, areet then?” 
“Mine’s a 6Xy beer”
”Catch you laters...” 
(Sorry, when?)

Wise Old Men
Wise Old Men

Two old drinking buddies,
Reflected upon their past,
Till one of them asked,
Why's it taken so long,
For us to realise,
We don't need alcohol,
To have such a blast!

Bromham Fields
autumn rainbows stripe
vegetable september
across bromham fields;
roundway island, hazed in mist
on a marrow orange sea

wiltshire sunbeams fall
gold on the cockle pickers
green fields, fishermen;
down fruit littered ditches glint
glitter strewn rivers of light

Family
Mum's gone now
and Dad's all alone,
rattling about in the family home.
Can't get in touch with the silly old bugger,
my sis is worried,
I'd love to hug her
but she's in Cornwall
and I'm in Wiltshire.
A fair few miles
just to see her.
My Bro is also not so near
but in my heart, 
I hold so dear.
I hope that Dad's
not had a fall!
I'd better check
I'll make that call....

J.O.C.K (Jock Wormack)
When you left, you left a legacy
Everyone knows that Jock is legendary
Wiltshire told you, you were a star
In the news for several weeks
Longing for you, but she’s still strong
Loving you more since you’ve been gone
Memories are all good
In our hearts you’ll remain
Smile that could light up anyone’s day
Sense of humor
Yet you went away
Only hurt could know how we feel
Jock
Outgoing
Courageous
King of the field...

The Coming Storm
The Coming Storm

Forlorn pregnant expectancy,
Sky belly swollen,
A neonate of dark violence,
Gathers under crying skirts,
Once puffed white pride,
Now taken to the dark side,
Paparazzi flash indolence,
Natures media hot wired,
Lightening fused nostrils,
As the battery taste surrounds,
Hair rejects servitude, levitating,
Van de Graaff stasis discharged,
But always the ominous threat,
Of a war unleashed none survives.

@Andrew Carnegie, Stormy Wiltshire, 14th Jan 2017....
