Stowin' timber on the deck?

Riding on a donkey!

Donkey riding, donkey riding
Way O and away we go

Where it's always fine and warm?
Where's there's a lion and a unicorn
Riding on a donkey.

Where the folks all shout, "Hooray!"?
"Here comes Johnny with his six months pay
Riding on a donkey."

And they wriggle their arses, too
Riding on a donkey.

And the gals play hong-ki-kong?

Where the Yanks are all the go,
An' the boys dance heel an' toe?

A Memory

A few Poems by William Allingham, 1824-1889

Four ducks on a pond,
A grass-bank beyond,
A blue sky of spring,
White clouds on the wing;
What a little thing
To remember for years-
To remember with tears!

Swing, swing Sing, sing,
Here! my throne and I am a king!
Far, far, Over the bar,
Sweeping daisies with my toe.
Slow, slow, To and fro,
.Swing, swing.Sing, sing,
Farewell, earth for I'm on the wing!
Low, high, Here I fly,
Like a bird through sunny sky;
Free, free, Over the lea,
Over the mountain, over the sea!
Soon, soon, Afternoon,
Over the sunsunset, over the moon;
Slow - slow - slow - slow.

The Fairies.
Up the airy mountain, Down the rushy glen,
We daren't go a-hunting for fear of little men;
Wee folk, good folk, trooping all together;
Green jacket, red cap, and white owl's feather!

Down along the rocky shore some make their home,
They live on crispy pancakes of yellow tide-foam;
Some in the reeds o Of the black mountain lake,
With frogs for their watch-dogs, all night awake.
High on the hill-top

The old King sits; he is now so old and gray
He's nigh lost his wits.With a bridge of white mist
Columbkill he crosses, on his stately journeys
From Slieveleague to Rosses; or going up with music
On cold starry nights, 'to sup with the Queen
Of the gay Northern Lights. They stole little Bridget
For seven years long; when she came down again
Her friends were all gone. They took her lightly back,

Between the night and morrow, they thought that she was fast asleep,
But she was dead with sorrow. They have kept her ever since
Deep within the lake, on a bed of flag-leaves,
Watching till she wake. By the craggy hill-side,


Through the mosses bare,
they have planted thorn-trees

For pleasure here and there. Is any man so daring
As dig them up in spite, he shall find their sharpest thorns in his bed at night.

Up the airy mountain, down the rushy glen,
We daren't go a-hunting for fear of little men;
Wee folk, good folk, trooping all together;
Green jacket, red cap, and white owl's feather!


These three wonderful poems came from the pen of the brilliant William Allingham

He loved poetry from an early age and we are told he would wander about Ballyshannon in the evening, listening to the girls singing old ballads at their cottage doors. He transcribed these ballads, and changed them to his liking and then had them printed in broadsheet form to sell in the locality.

TEST OF GENIUS

Ask your friends to read this sentence slowly:

"Finished files are the result of years of scientific
 study combined with the experience of years."

Then tell them to count out aloud, ONLY ONCE,
the number of F's in the sentence.

The answer is at the bottom of
"Light the Lamps up, Lamplighter."
What an oddbod this is.

 LIGHT THE LAMPS UP, LAMPLIGHTER
(For a Lamplighter, a Grandmother,
the Angel Gabriel, and Any Number of Others)


Light the lamps up Lamplighter,
The people are in the street -
Without a light
They have no sight,
And where will they plant their feet?
Some will tread in the gutter,
And some in the mud - oh, dear!
Light the lamps up, Lamplighter,
Because the night is here.

Light the candles, Grandmother,
The children are going to bed -
Without a wick
They'll stumble and stick,
And where will they lay their head?
Some will lie on the staircase,
And some in the hearth - oh, dear!
Light the candles, Grandmother,
Because the night is here.


Light the stars up, Gabriel,
The cherubs are out to fly -
If heaven is blind
How will they find
Their way across the sky?
Some will splash in the Milky Way,
Or bump on the Moon - oh, dear!
Light the stars up, Gabriel,
Because the night is here.

This beautiful poem was written by
Eleanor Farjeon.
I have enclosed this little piece of information about her, do go to the links,
she really was a wonderful lady and I remember when she died.

Eleanor Farjeon (February 13, 1881June 5, 1965) was an English author of children's stories and plays, poetry, biography, history and satire. Some of her correspondence has also been published.
 She won many literary awards and the prestigious Eleanor Farjeon Award for children's literature is presented annually in her memory by the Children's Book Circle, a society of publishers.

Her work is cited as an influence by famous Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki.sadly now passed away.

The answer to "Test of Genius".
A person of average intelligence finds three F's. If you spotted four you're above average.
If you got five, you can turn up your nose at almost anybody in the street. However if you caught all six you're probably a genius and you ought not to waste your time takking tests like this. :)


And below - Just a little something nice to read;

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:
`Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.‘
And he replied: `Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God.
That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.‘

 from `The Desert ‘ by Minnie Louise Haskins.
Quoted by King George VI in his Christmas Day broadcast, 1939.

The Jelly Baby, the Smartie and the Lockets

A Jelly Baby walks into a bar and starts talking to a Smartie. After a few beers the Smartie says, "Ere, a bunch of us are heading to that new club, fancy tagging along?"

The Jelly Baby says, "No mate, I'm a soft centre, I always end up getting my head kicked in."

So Smartie says, "Don't worry about it, I'm a bit of a hard case, I'll look after you."

Jelly Baby thinks about it for a minute and says, "Fair enough, as long as you'll look after me", and off they go.


After a few more beers in the club, three Lockets walk in. As soon as he sees them, Smartie hides under the table.

The Lockets take one look at Jelly Baby and start kicking him, breaking cola bottles over his little jelly head, lamping him with little sugary chairs, and generally having a laugh. After a while they get bored and walk out.

Jelly Baby pulls his battered Jelly Baby body over to the table and wipes up his Jelly Baby blood and turns to Smartie and says, "I thought you were going to look after me."

I was!" says Smartie,

"But those Lockets are  ment(h)al

 WEE WILLIE WINKIE

Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs in his night-gown,
Tapping at the window, crying at the lock,
"Are all the children in theirbeds, for tis ten o'clock?"

"Hey! Willie Winkie are you coming then?
The cat's singing purrie to the sleeping hen;
The dog is lying on the floor, and does not even peep;
And here's a wakeful little boy that will not fall asleep.



"Anything but sleep, you rogue! Staring like the moon;
Rattling in an iron job with an iron spoon;
Rumbling, tumbling all about, crowing like a cock,
Screaming like I don't know what, Waking sleeping folk.

"Hey! Willie Winkie, Can't you keep him still?
Wriggling off a body's knee, like a very eel;
Pulling at the cat's ear, as she drowsy hums:
Hey, Willie Winkie! See! here he comes."
