Poem If a dark thought enters your mind Imagine there's a switch on top of your head And when you press it A bright light comes on inside you And the corners of your mouth lift up And the Hallelujah Chorus is sung by all who love and ever loved you.
Dressing gown that somehow looks like a dog
That's beautiful Ian. It reminds me of the time I chucked my dressing gown on a chair and it looked like a big black dog in a blanket.
If,like me,you love the old #Lancashire dialect and the stories and songs of yore, there are dozens of old Lancashire books available FREE for downloading on Google Play Books. Brierley, Waugh, Laycock, Harland et al. Search Lancashire or the author's name and they'll all come up.

Poem. Ip Dip Dashed by Dave Dutton We spoke like eeny meeny miney mo mad folk with our "Ickle Ickle Chocolate Bokkle, Ikkle Okkle Out" When we were βIp Dip Dashing" about wearing "My Blue Sash" while "Sailing on the water" Like what? "A cup and saucer " saying "Ip Dip Dash" We claimed our names were βAlecampaneβ and when asked where we lived it was "down a grid" at Number Cucumber on Pig's Feet Street We drew snakes upon backs. Asked Mister Wolf what time it was. Rolled sideways laughing down hills unheeding spills. But our madness was for living and playing. And delaying the real madness that came when we were much older and IT tapped us on the shoulder Declaring For. I. Say. You. Are. IT.

Sign saying Beware of Children
From my old village...
I remember Henry and all the great presenters. I went to the exhibition. Look closely at what's in this box of delights...I was really chuffed.
Worked there for a while. Great times. Met the Sex Pistols when they came to Manchester. But that's another story.

Killed his wife, Arabella
With a poisoned umbrella
And hid the body away
Down in the cellar
Bought a jar of Nutella
And got on with the rest of his day.
At the checkout just now and I heard a bloke say : "See him? He was married to one o't Dingles." π
Week before, someone said: βSee him? He wrote Coronation Street β π
My mate said "All of it?"
None of it actually..
