sauerkraut Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I was looking through some of my old schoolbooks - always a source of great amusement for my kids - and discovered there used to be a bit of a poet in me after all! So I thought I'd upload a few of my old poems for your delectation. Please bear in mind I would have been little more than about 13 years old when I wrote them. The schoolbooks are so musty I think I'm going to have to throw them away Link deleted by author Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Blanco Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I've just sang your fudge song!! I'm curious though what does happen to fudge if you leave it? My kids and I made some toffee once but they didn't like it. I think it was because I used black treacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauerkraut Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 I'm curious though what does happen to fudge if you leave it? If it's fudge that I've made, the safest thing you can do is leave it. Well alone. But don't keep it in the house for too long or it develops into a new life form.

shoeshine Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I confess I haven't been reading this section very much of late, and have quite a few recent contributions yet to read on the WG Server. I couldn't resist reading your poems this afternoon though, sauerkraut, and I liked them very much indeed. I'm having problems getting the "Clementine" tune out of my mind now! Thanks Ron Blanco! (Not)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauerkraut Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Thank you shoeshine, glad you liked them. By the way the fudge in the poem should not have been left alone because it was still cooking, resulting in a seismic magma explosion over the sides of the pan leaving an irremovable caremalised sugary deposit all over the new ceramic hob. We clearly need another verse. Tum ti tum-tum, tum ti tum-tum, tum-ti tum, ti tum-ti-tum.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coyleys Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Good ones SK. A child prodigy, Eh!? I'm having problems getting the "Clementine" tune out of my mind now! I also had trouble getting the tune from my mind; SS, so I went back and read it to the beat of “subterranean homesick blues” believe me; not for the faint hearted, stick to Clementine.

I took time out later this afternoon to have a look on your website again, coyleys. That cured the "Clementine" obsession immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauerkraut Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Enjoyed reading these SK. Thank you, pattricia. It was fun finding them again! Not too sure about coyleys child prodigy comment, tho. Aren't prodigies supposed to go on to ever greater and higher things? I don't think I could claim my poetry has made much progress in the past 30 years! Thanks for reminding me about coyleys website, shoeshine. I've not looked at that in a while so might go and have a nose around there now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
