Winston

Not fogetting of course a stifled and up and coming poet right at the end.... pissed out of his tree...

I went for a wee
and
then climbed a tree
I climbed to the top
and
my mother wiped
my bottom...
At which point he forgot his words... not deterred he enquired if he might join our merry band... his joy at hearing poetry and his natural desire to perform stifled because he was judged to be ....not worthy... not by a 'Rhyme' of poets surely...
I shall venture back to that silken encampment and seek him out...hopefully with a little reassurance and guidence encourage him to join.... at least our common interest.
I shall, for those who are interested let you know what unfolds.

Gus Jonsson....with a J.(Winston)

Hi Guss

Well, if you wish to persevere with the chap in question I admire your patience. Just be aware that when I went for a pee at the end downstairs he was describing "us wankers upstairs" to his mates. Lets hope for a miraculous turnaround.

Nice to see you again last night Mr Jonsson (Now with a J)

Morning Winston
Wankers!....Isn't that an enjoyable past time too !!
I knew I was on the right track!
Couple of shakes I'll soon have him cummmin' round to our way of thinkin'...

By the way well done last night ...went like cockwork.....

See ya at the 'Bridge'
Gus
