    good day people, I have organised a poetry day at the kardomah 94
    It will be about my poems, at the moment we have Dave Windass,
    Brian Lavery and Alec Gill reading, there will be others and of course yours
    Truly, well they are my poems. The entrance is free but a collection
    Box will be left at the entrance for anyone that wants to donate anything
    But please no more soiled underwear, I have enough of that.
    The whole event is to raise funds for my adopted charity butterflies memory loss
    It will take place during dementia week in may. The exact date is 27 th May
    From 1pm until 4 pm, the next day is a bank holiday so no work.
    As anyone who has a family member or friend with this horrible illness
    Will know it doesn’t just effect those that have it.
    If anyone is interested please either comment or send me a message.
    It seats around 80 but if we know more are coming we can set it out differently.
    It’s a great charity so I hope some of you will come, also I’d like to put a face
    To some of the crap you lot post on here..
    Thanks... in advance,...see I’m even rhyming now, god I’m good..

    Got my copy, hope you all do the same!

    Reading it like a newspaper though. Back to front. It’s a cover thing.

    Spot on Red Top, you’ve done yourself proud!!

    Thank you. 2DD61543-1558-42A1-8DC4-C33CFC410FE6.jpeg

    You took the time to reply in rhyme,
    but a few lines does not make a poet.
    We've had threads full of pics, on Not606
    for banners, for flags and for fun,
    If you think yours is better,
    and you are a go getter
    then post it on here to show it.

    I posted a verse, for better or worse,
    just before I went to get showered,
    Posting on here, is nothing to fear,
    but not on stage, I'm a coward.

    Thinking of Dutch soaped up in the shower
    Is putting me right off my tea
    When you’re clean have a beer
    And get over your fear
    Because you’re on the stage right before me

    I'm struggling to see, how a poor sap like me,
    can compete with fine wit such as that,
    I can quite plainly see,
    nay even guarantee
    they'll just shout
    'get off the stage you daft twat'.

    Twaterry’s fine
    So step up to the line
    And let your words tumble around
    Red Top’s in the chair
    So we’ll go as a pair
    And let him buy shots for a pound*

    *That vaguely rhymed, but the price stated may not reflect the prices for shots at the time of the specific event.

    Up to the line, is all well and fine,
    but poetry's not something I've mastered,
    but the double act pact, and the beer payer fact
    means I'd probably do it if plastered

    I’m certainly in
    So we’ll start off on gin
    Then work our way through a few ales
    The crawl to the stage
    Not acting our age
    And try to help Red Top’s book sales

    I think your mistake,
    Is one I often make,
    in thinking when drunk that I'm funny
    the sales would be down, and I'd look like a clown
    and have lost red tops charity money.
