I received some poetry from one of the villagers to go in the village newsletter that i make for them and thought id share them here with you fine folks.

Ill post them in this same thread, let me know what you think would youse?

The Old Village Dog

I am just a village dog, living in a village house,
But I am quiet as a mouse.

You don’t know me, but I know you all,
I hear your footsteps, hear you call.

I see your deeds, I smell your scent,
I know when you pass and where you went.

I hear you laugh, I hear you cry.
I hear all your talk as you go by.

If I could speak, or even write
I could tell it all, whatever I like.

I could sell your secrets to the Sunday Press
Who would think ‘It was Old Bess’?

This next one is a real 'oddity'

A word of explanation: A wheely-bin is a Trash-can? with wheels to make em easier to move around. A Quid is another word for a Pound

The Secret Life of Wheely-bins

Has anyone ever wondered about our wheely-bins?
They’re just filled them up with rubbish and evidence of sins
It is rare they get a wash, and rarer still a shine
If thought about at all, we glance, ‘It’s there, it must be fine’

They’re not treated like our dogs and taken for a walk
Most times we ignore them and keep them in the dark
We bump them; we bash them, and often slam the lid
And never, ever say ‘ That was good, here’s a quid’.

But when they’re not about, oh what a hue and cry
Then we hear ‘Who took it?’, ‘Where does the culprit lie’
With much ado the streets are searched, until the bin is found
It was cowering in a corner, making not a sound.

In full view of every one, it’s dragged home in disgrace
It is pushed, yanked and finally dumped back in its ‘place’       
You can see the owner’s face ‘ That will teach it sense’
Then he slams shut his gate, or ties it to his fence.                               

But as some of us do know, bins have a secret life
Away from all our rubbish and all domestic strife.
They’re like hob-nobs and goblins, coming out at night
Scheming and plotting to whom they’ll give a fright.

They pay back the sinners for their lack of thought and care
They all come out at night and ideas do compare.
Bins think of lots of ways to make sinners lives a pain
They incite their kids to misbehave and go against the grain

It’s mis-treated and abused bins that scatter broken glass
It’s them that make mushrooms grow in the middle of grass.
They give babies toothache and let car tyres down
They care not a jot where, be it village or town

The evidence is plain, its there for all to see,
Those who mis-treat wheely-bins do not live care free
If any of the above has ever happened to you
Then there’s only one thing you can effectively do.

Go find your wheely-bin, and be very, very nice,
And every time you pass it, make sure you hug it twice.

And last but not least number threee :D

SUMMER IS HERE

When was the last time you went for a walk,
Or met with a neighbour just for a talk?

When was the last time you just sat in the sun,
Felt yourself smile at others having fun?

When was the last time you shared with a friend,
The good times you’d had, without much to spend?

When was the last time you watched flowers grow,
Savoured their scent, felt a warm breeze blow?

When was the last time you heard a bird sing?
Well these are the things that summer can bring.

So now is the time to get out of your chair,
Join in with the living and once again share.
