I like this version better than mine .... !!
Cheers
Richard
Don't put yourself down Richard, you did a great job and I'm chufft that a great musician like yourself took the time to expand and improve on one of my humble offerings.
Thanks for the kind words.
And a jolly good time was had by all...
It could have got a lot weirder, just the right amount of weird. Thank you
Very cool poem,. I like it. We needed some fun ones to make up for all my emotional darkness
Thanks Beamer. Keep looking forward, there's a light at the end of the tunnel I'm sure.
Thats very clever Phill.
As a side note i saw in the news the other day a fish & chip shop called the `Battered Wife`
It`s been in existence for 28 yrs,but of course you can`t have humour anymore.
I don`t fancy their chances of keeping the name.
Battered wife...I love the name not the suggestion! We had one called "the friar Tuck" till a girlfriend told me to switch the first letters...oh dear...the PC brigade would have a field day!
Phill I love the good old spud, boiled then mashed with butter then sprinkled with Worcestershire sauce. Another favourite, roasted spud or potatoe cut into chips and fried. I love the way British people call Fish and Chip shops the Chippy. Here in Kiwi Land we call carpenters chippy's. We also call crisps Chippys. Excellent poem before I read it I wasn't hungry now I have a craving for a Chip Butty.
We have what we call Sunday dinner, any day of the week really, my job is to peel and chop the veggies and spuds, then mash the potatoes add butter and milk, never thought of adding Worcester sauce! We used to call it Wooster sauce, don't know why they changed it?
We also call carpenters chippies which is the name I've heard Americans use for ladies of horizontal refreshment!!! Go figure?
Phill
I think this is terrific ... love the cornflakes ending !!
Jim
Thanks Jim. I was stuck for an ending, but I do love nice fresh cornflakes with ice cold milk
info; chips are potatoes peeled and sliced then deep fried. those skinny horrible things that you get in Mcdonalds are french fries. what our colonial friends call chips are actually crisps.
Chips.
I fancied chips for dinner.
With bacon, eggs and beans.
Two thick slices of bread and butter.
I felt like a king, the wife was queen.
A cup of tea? Two sugars please.
A drop of milk and stir them round.
Those chips were nigh on perfect.
Not too pale and not too brown.
Lots of salt and vinegar.
A blob of tomato sauce.
The posh lot call it ketchup.
But I'm not posh at all.
My mam made lovelly chips each day.
She'd put them on my plate.
She'd slice my bread with butter thick.
A piece of cheese as well.
She'd always pinch a chip or two.
Mine always tasted best.
Just in case she wanted more.
I'd scoff down all the rest.
I like my chips with gravy.
A piece of battered cod.
People say “ that's disgusting”.
You ain't tried it, so you can't judge.
Chips with a drop of curry sauce.
Or a steak, cooked as you like.
Chips and tinned spaghetti.
Grated cheese, with a fork, no need for knives.
I like chips with just everything.
No, not with fruit or greens.
Any food not healthy.
It's never done harm to me.
I don't eat chips on Sunday.
For reasons non religious.
Sunday is for roast potatoes.
Chicken, beef and Yorkshire pud.
The wife shouts “ what do you want for supper love?”
Cornflakes of course....
this is how i visualised it when i wrote it, warts and all...
Yeah Canada seem to be going down this PC road in a big way.
Fisher Folk instead of fisherman
Snow folk instead of Snowman
It`s starting to get that way in NZ,only a matter of time before
Father Christmas is a black lesbian woman!Naughty Boy Phill!! Whoops naughty person Phill
just in....they cant call them "mansize tissues any more they've got to be "extra large" OTT or what?
PS, santa wouldn't be a black lesbian man now would he? still laughing...
fine job there richard. the song and the summery background remind me of when we were in Perth (at this time of year) a few years back. thanks for posting the video
i like the naval references, (my dad was in the RN during WW2) i'm so glad you changed the offending words, i can guess what they were? it's good to get the pain out of your system and i think this'll make a great song too. nicely put together my friend
my condolences to you and your family, Jim
Jan. When I read your intro and the first few lines of your poem I was so happy, then as I got further down my shoulders sagged and I felt really teary. The human body is so trail and prone to so many illnesses and unfortunate accidents. Then we go and kill millions more in war and terrorism.
A brilliant piece of observation and writing. Add my prayers to yours.
ya wanna talk? OK lets talk.
those are what my mate big Ade calls jazz chords. i have to say you sound quite depressed? 86 questions is all about suicide i guess, and no one knows why people feel the need to end their life, i certainly cant understand it and by the sounds of it, neither can you?
well that's another 3 questions for you. i need to lighten things as i listened twice to your song and i feel a little depressed, not that depressed though!
i'd like to know the background for your song. and by the way it's a good one.
Hello Kenny and welcome to Chordie.
Go down to our chat section and introduce yourself there and let us know what instruments you play or what music you like. You can also ask for or give advice. None of the forums are private so you can join in any conversation that might interest you.
All men are created equal only some are more equal than others! Here I go quoting other more enlightened people again!
Our forefathers faught and died for the rights and liberties we now enjoy. Was it an enemy, an invading force they faught? No, the rich and powerful! They held us down for hundreds of years and when we faught back they sent in the troops, mowed down by our own brothers. We forced our way out but there are those who would put us back in our box if they can get away with it.
To my mind politicians should have no wealth and no other source of income but their salary for guiding their country.
Woops, I'd better stop there as I might get into trouble for bringing the corruption of politics and politicians onto the pages of this PC site.
Hi Jim. A bit of a rocky 12 bar thing going on there buddy? Couldn't really make out the words clearly but good anyway.
Give my regards to the family.
So entertaining Peatle. Creatively edited and all the pop ups and news channel logos were great.
Now to your song/poem; as we've come to expect from you, ascerbic, pithy and no holds barred. As the song says; believe half of what you see and certainly none of what you hear.
Now here's my question; should we be grateful we don't live in North Korea?
Fine work as usual loremaster.
Woops! I feel a right idiot now. I saw your other post first followed the link here and thought I'd gone back to the first post. Anyway you've done a great job. Thanks for that. I'll have to post my version now I think they're quite similar. Thanks again and sorry for my mistake.
Hi Richard, I was looking forward to hearing your version but your link just brought me back here. If it's on SoundCloud or YouTube you'll need to copy and paste the link there.
Phill
Please disregard the above post.... I'm just not with it at the moment.
Yep, still smiling too! It must be dedicated to trump?
Hey Jeff I love to hear other people play my stuff...any chance? Thanks for the review.
Thanks Jim. You're over exaggerating the voice, I like the tempo changes and the simple once through unplugged way of recording.
I have no doubt at all that you will record and post this entertaining song? Of course when it's spring with you it's autumn here. Enjoy your spring/summer and let's hear this soon.
Zurf,
Our thoughts are with you at this sad time.
Phillip an Ann
