Bob

Dave would you like me to put the one you did of Mrs Mickeys Menu By Zondrae on the forum for you

Bill the old Battler

Bob, I forget now, only have time to listen to the judges comments, then get back to work, sorry mate.

Oi! Bill, you've lost me mate, what poem is that one, don't think it was me eh!

OOOPPPSSS sorry wrong Dave IT should be DAVE SMITH

Bill the old Battler

Mrs Mickey won't be happy Bill getting her men mixed up like that

Maureen that might be why Mrs Mickey has a ME N U

Yeah cheers, Dave . . I'm pleasantly surprised that my poems resonate with Veronica Weal. I don't know the woman, but her poetry is obviously refined, exact and flawless (which mine aint).

I pipped you Bob can't recall the title of your poem but it was about a cop.

Cheers, Marty

Thanks Marty. Yeah mate she must be pretty refined.

Cheers Bob

G'day Bill,

It's OK with me if it's OK with him. As a matter of fact, I have been reviving 'Mrs Mickey's Menu' to do at Dapto in July. I haven't recited it for years.

I know I have been slack in venturing into the vocal world. It is just that I have trouble fitting in all that I have on my plate, at the moment, let alone make time for recording as well.

Also, I went into the garage band recording softwear on my Mac and recorded , what I thought was an ok version of 'Uncle Clyde' and saved it. When I went to listen to it again, the next day, and decide if it was good enough to send in, I couldn't find it. Since then I haven't had time to 'play' with the softwear. I'll have to send Wayne fishing one day so I have the house to myself.

You wouldn't believe my calendar for the next week!!~
