My friend by the sea is so kindDavebytheSea wrote:Oh Sport! be a sport, will you please?
Huntertee is not trying to tease
His rhyming is good
And I think that you should
Give him credit for verses like these.
And his poem so polished and shined
He really don't mind
If my grammar's behind
He's a generous soul you will find
But exactly which sea is he near?
The Med where the water is clear?
The Sargasso, The Black?
Out the front? Out the back?
If he tells me I'll buy him a beer.

Your offer's accepted my friend
A beer will most certainly tend
To enrich my style
And during the while
Some long lost dear friendships amend.
So listen with care Huntertee
Near pasties and cream do I be (local dialect serves here)
And if you shall ken
Any Tre, Pol or Pen
You will there find my house by the sea.
I shall be at the Bax on the evening of Saturday 12th!!

Able to snifter with thee
Instead of the Bax
I'll be making some tax
For those villains Tony and Sherie
(as a family photographer I work most Saturdays
but my offer still stands - either tell me when you
are in London ar maybe I will break with tradition
and attend an old blues day - though judging from
comments recent ones have been a washout)

Despite all that others have said
OBs day was not quite so bad
The weather was great
The school in good state
And the Grace was just perfectly read.
So please try again Huntertee
Arrive at CH before tea
That ancient old sod
Standing there in the quad
Is, very probably, me.

Pray when is the next OB day?
Is it soon, is it further away?
I will look for you there
If the quad is still square
We'll have beer on a posh silver tray.
And when all the drinking is done
And we've turned away tea and a bun
I would think it insane
Not to find Emma Jane
Full of glee, mercy me
Up a tree by Barnes B
Impersonating a nun.

My dear EJ how I have missed youEmma Jane wrote:Good Morrow kind Sirs, says I
Have just had my dinner - nice pie
Parasites bore me
While vino enthralls me
Shall open another - Oh my!
When you're rhyming I cannot resist you
I'm sure you read "Beano"
While drinking your vino
And dream about who could have la la la la

Emma Jane, if you were a nunEmma Jane wrote:Huntertitus, I am but a nun!
With exams I have time for no fun
It won't be me up a tree
But you Huntertee!
With your wine up close to the sun
Seriously - I think I am a nun anyway
I'd think it a good bit of fun
To take off your habit
Put it on a rabbit
Its lucky you're just feeling glum
Don't be sad
It's just grim up north
(I studies in Wales
Don't tell anyone it's a sore point)

Alas the removal of habit
Leaves one naked and, unlike a rabbit
A nun in the nude
Would be terribly rude,
And there's a danger that someone might grab it.
