Not sure who's enjoyed this the most We are all too well mannered to boast But it's still not a goner And to Charlie goes the honour Of writing the five hundredth post
Yes Theo it has been some fun But remember Leo was post number one 500 th is great But it's not to late The next milestone is still to be won
The first post happened in error A duplicate thread is a terror But the Mods were not "bover'd" So the thread here has hovered I'll be off in my old Ford Sierra
Leo, you are very brave This thread you continue to save, You say you don't mind, But you're just being kind, I'm sure that its ending you crave!
If we use this rhyme In ten years time Beppe'll be so great We'll be able to state Sannino is still in his prime
A strong reputation rarely dies So however quickly our own time flies Our children won't baulk Of Beppe they'll talk In the same breath as Morecambe and Wise
I sincerely hope not! My thoughts on Morecambe are unprintable (and I'd forgotten about the multi-talented Wise).
If Beppe really has gone. Perhaps we all should move on, Not Morecambe and Wise For the first prize, But more likely Flanders and Swann!
So Beppe's resigned resigned from Catania And gone back to mainland Italia He's biding his time Just drinking his wine And eating chips with lasagne
Now Vic has come over all mardy And I'm sorry this comes a bit tardy I'd forgotten the link With L***n I think I really meant Laurel and Hardy
Well Leo you can now clearly see The posts are not just from Thoe and me There's poems from Dave Vic has the odd rave And now Fez is trying poetry
We're lucky that Frenchie and Yorkie At this thread they seem to have baulk(y) They just wouldn't stop Until the thread went pop Or perhaps that is only a porkie
Now Leo, you had a go at my no - go & bow and you come up with Yorkie - baulk(y) ???? & Porkie no contest. Mentioning OFH and Yorkie. I thought no their really pussy cats. Now if Norway was still a Mod I doubt this thread would have reached page 3.
I was going to close this for a laugh but then it dawned on me About the mods Leo is talking thinks that this now all needs corking a voice in my head states if I close this thread I'll soon be declared dead man walking.
Dan I thank you for the reprieve To lose this thread I can't conceive For it's life to come to end Would be like losing a close friend So your compassion we greatly receive
They're both the same - old and new Dan Neither one will deliver the ban You know that this thread Should long now be dead But secretly you know I'm a fan
The verbal magician Ron Barker Could not have said this any starker I tell you, by God We all love a mod Who relies not on scooter nor parka
It has to be said in all fairness This'll disappear if we're careless Defo not theo Not even our Leo Should forget the one who is hairless.
