Della Rose Cottage

 

Della Rose Cottage is being reborn,

The dreams of centuries stripped and torn,

In pristine condition it should remain,

But slightly twisted and out of frame.

 

What memories it aspires to evoke,

Since first its chimney extruded smoke,

Thousands of birds have made their nests,

Families born then laid to rest.

 

The fields around are just the same,

As when Napoleon came to fame,

200 years of laughter and tears,

Children playing with giggles and jeers.

 

When first its humble footings were laid,

Nelson was putting the Danes in the shade,

At Copenhagen he made his name,

Assuring himself of lasting fame.

 

Della Rose Cottage has a new mistress now,

A humble lady with skill and know-how,

Her name is Paula she is so bright.

A beautiful lady with skill and foresight.

 

Wappenham village is in for a treat,.

When at last they gather and meet,

To see the cottage they've known for years,

Afresh with life and full of good cheers.

Col. James Stewart-pilot-actor.

 

1908-1997

dfc.-croix de guerre

air medal with oak leaves.

brig. general. retired

 

indiana the place of his birth

extremely modest- down to earth

tall gangling- smooth and cool

speech affected by a halting drawl.

 

a degree in architecture- he gained with ease

but the great depression started to squeeze

so off to hollywood and not to sure

if his amateur talent would mature.

 

but acting he mastered with the greatest of ease

the camera and audience were easy to please

his honest character came shining through

in one year just- he was head of the queue.

 

the rumblings of war were heard afar

and stirred the conscience of this superstar

he volunteered - quick as a flash

the recruiting office he made a dash

 

at the army air corps training base

flying talents were honed apace

an agile mind and quick to learn

a commission and wings he was to earn.

 

training pilots- he took for a while

but training really- was not his style

In 43 to England he went

to tibenham in norfolk his talents were sent

 

with the rank of captain and his own command

they commenced to bomb adolph hitlers land

success and promotion came his way

by clever decisions in the heat of fray.

 

with the rank of colonel and chief of staff

the town of brunswick he commenced to trash

another success with him in command

a nail in the coffin for hitler’s band

 

shortly after he left the war

he'd done his best to settle the score

modest to the end about his success.

his achievements in war he did not address.

 

james stewart made 78 films.

the first .’murder man’

the last ‘the magic of lassie’.

he won an oscar for ‘the philadelphia story’

"Scag" by me 2004

 

When the flame hits the foil

and it all starts to boil

you go chasing them dragons away

and that sickening smell

that comes straight from hell

lingers on every word you say

 

relax now..

the dragons have gone

you've chased them all away

but you know for sure

it wont last long

they'll be back by the end of the day.

YOU

 

I thought of you again today,

Did you host some small soiree?

I feel you are amongst your friends,

Unless off course my mind transcends.

 

Occasionally I get like this,

The precincts of my mind dismiss,

Any thoughts that you are down,

And tears beget that puzzled frown.

 

I think of all the lovely things,

Meeting you and warm feelings,

Northampton town on our first date,

How cool you looked, so sedate.

 

The library another day,

How simple was that T.M.A.

When you ask me to assist,

A gesture I could not resist.

 

That classy two piece suit you wore,

Not anybodies paramour!

Lovely tussled flaxen hair,

Aloof, remote, and debonair.

 

My eyes beheld a wondrous sight,’

To me you felt exactly right,

This ambience of country life,

Rustical and free of strife.

 

O well I’ve got my mind back now,

I don’t think you will mind somehow,

My sincerity when I say,

I thought of you again today.

I vowed that I would never chase one more little bit

But first I badly needed just one more final hit

‘That will be my last’ I promised my dear mother

But then I had another and another and another

This all took place some time ago and still I have not ceased

It’s too late by the time you've learnt the nature of the beast

A Funny Place

 

i am in a funny place today

a funny place indeed

its not a bad place, its fair to say

nor is it all care-free

 

its sort of a place between here and there

a place thats all asunder

a place that makes me stop and stare

a place thats full of wonder

 

i have been here many times before

in lots of different states

when things go wrong...or round and round

and i feel theres a lot on my plate

 

but its not a bad place, when alls said and done

i guess i just have to get used to it

peace is not just always under the sun

its a decision and its mine if i make it
