Frank E Gibbard Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) With a whether eye I dolefully eyed the wet and chilly weather Mm whether to go out today as prospects didn't look too clever. The rain in train it's very plain would put off fair weather fellers But proper British chaps will don a cap and twirl their umbrellas. With merry skip and stiff of lip I danced like Gene Kelly in the rain But here's the rub I passed the pub, well didn't, and here I remain.

goldenlangur Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hi Frank, What a lovely, witty piece to offset the winter grayeness: With merry skip and stiff of lip I danced like Gene Kelly in the rain But here's the rub I passed the pub, well didn't, and here I remain.

Aleksandra Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Frank, this is a very authentic and very British poem. The word/s choice and the way how you use them is that which makes this poem rock :) . Thank you for sharing.

Hey Frank, I hope you've dried out by now... Too much fun can get soggy. Loved this little ditty. It has all of the elements to warm one's heart and turn up the corners of the mouth. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Hello Frank good to see you here. I agree with Aleksandra on the 'British' aspect especially the humour L3 with regard to the weather. Much enjoyed. Benjamin.
