WE'RE GOING DOWN TO THE COTSWOLDS
We're going down to the Cotswolds
where the air is fresh and clean;
though Chelsea is our spiritual seat
our other dwelling is rather good
quite isolated by hedges and wood.
The local message is understood
we contribute to the great and good
supporting local stores and our pub
we like to mix and match our life;
Jem is doing well with ponies
Toby and I are joining forces
with the local hunt when time permits.
Jem has got a natural talent
for doing the splits
she has the local boys in fits,
she's starting to accept the simple life
from Daddy working in the City,
his talent is for being gritty
and when the going gets really shitty
we look forward to our Cotswold base
it's like Homes and Gardens, an enchanting place.
Toby has his eye on a farm
that needs investment with planning a given
he needs to occupy himself
that's what he says
so dedicated, so totally driven
and Jem is finding her natural pace
when we go down to our Cotswold place.

Stu, thanks for that reference; you compared my stuff with half man half biscuit before and I must say that pleases me a lot! We all have a certain penchant or knack in our expressive ways and the barmy is what I identify with I suppose. As for John Otway - I checked out a utube clip of House of the Rising Sun, and was quite blown away. So bless you !!
Keith, I'm glad you found favour. Face value is fine with me!
Col. Ever the archivist, you keep us all alert to so many influences out there , so thanks for getting sparked off. My conglomeration of accents was quite bizarre, not intentionally confusing , but to me a trite and shallow personality lay behind it(not mine of course). I was going to do a Sloane accent, but I don't think the money is there any more. They've all moved to the outskirts!
Hi David, more convulsions - I'll try anything you know me. Your story reminds me that I have often met people who in public places do their one upmanship bit inviting yawns all round; but in your quoted case one should be more compassionate to the old in their indulgences. I hope so for my sake.
Love to all Ray
