Gidday
Been told to put my stuff under poem forum,they r songs but to busy to add chords here.
not that anyone would play my stuff,it`s just some ramblings,anyhow here goes! bare my soul in public.

`Santa or Jesus`
Is santa more popular than jesus at Christmas
you know some times i think
in this modern time
that more people believe in santa
than believe in jesus
it`s such a strange thing
that it turns out this way
thinking about santa not jesus
on Christmas day
think this just goes to show
what a sick society
we`ve become
consumerism instead of faith
is santa more popular than jesus
on Christmas day.

Reason For The Season
You know we often forget
the reason for the season
it comes around every year
and many people think of different things
large screen tvs And shiny accessories
of food and drink and christmas trees
of fun and sun and holidays
the reason for the season
it`s none of these things
it`s all about the birth of christ.

Yesterday was a long night

The drinking of beer is so good for you
don`t stop at one at least have a few
Liquid brown  bubbles rise to the top
So good so good you don`t want to stop

Chorus
have a beer have a beer
and fall on your arse
it`s better for you than
smoking the grass

Don`t drink too much
or you`ll be snoring in bed
wake in the morn  an aching head
Solve this by taking a pill
drink it down with a beer  don`t spill

chorus

`The booze song`

I like to drink  (repeat 3)
Vodka  on my cornflakes
Bourbon with my toast
Whisky with water
Beer with a roast

I like to drink  (3)

Some say i`m an alchie
But this ain`t correct
All this drinking
Having very little effect

I like to drink  3

Red with my pasta
White wine with my fish
Brandy on my coco pops
It really is delish

I like to drink.

This came to me after listening to the pogues  NOTE  Have used poetic license

Gidday,

I`ve some questions for you song writers.
i don`t think that i`m a song writer,but the strangest thing has been happening to me.
In this part of the world Xmas is in summer,but we still seem to sing the trad songs about snow ect
So i asked our uke group to write a New Zealand xmas song,they where horrified at the thought.
any how to carry on the story  Next day (don`t think i had a head injury or anything during the night)
i wrote my first song, then my second, then my third, then my forth, then my fifth. all this in 1 hour.
Since then they are just pouring out of me,don`t know from where they come?
They are just there,i write it down, it`s all done super quick!
Put chords to a few so far, but having trouble keeping up.

Is this the way it works for you? how do you write a song? do they come quick & complete?
look forward to your comments.  B..


Up to 76 songs/poems now.  this is 2mths effort,don`t know where it`s coming from but it`s
a great trip.  two things i have noticed though,only come when @ work,and i`ve been listening
to classical music radio station.  Go Figure?

Gidday,

Just took delivery of my new Martin guitar today.
having a lot of fun with it.
two months ago i saw a Maton guitar for sale (custom Shop)
it had been in the shop for 3 yrs & hadn`t sold
so they discounted it from $5000 to $3500
I`d dropped by & played it a few times over the years,couldn`t believe my luck.
I`d saved $3000 toward it & was 2 days from buying it,when i got burgled!
Needless to say the cash was GONE! I was gutted!
Any how got a Martin today as treat for me.
Sad story  Happy ending.

Gidday.

I gather there`s a few blokes on Chordie that enjoy a beer?
In the last few years in NZ there has been an explosion of craft beers, micro breweries making interesting beers.
For many years we had two large beer co selling flavoured water.
craft beer growing at 12% a year & other beer sales down 20%
Some single bottles now the same price as a some wine,
but great quality.
Is this a world wide trend/or happening in your area?

Beer & guitars what else do ya need.
