Thread Name: Anyone here had to recite?
Subject: RE: Anyone here had to recite - Part 2
Following on from "Daffodils" in the previous thread, Peter Maloney - a Liverpool teacher who did talks about language came up with this parody which my dad does on occasions after first reciting the original:
I wandered dozy with my cart Up Brownlow hill to take me welt When of a sudden I seed a tart That almost made my eyeballs melt
Hey dere girl be my bird My throat went dry like at the word What other Judy could I take in through the ale house door each night What other guy would not go all green with envy at the sight
Jet white of hair with orange gob Cheeks a rosy purple blob No more sexy she could look Than pictures in a drawing book
And as she walked her hips were rockin' My heart was pounding something shockin' I looked and looked - oh what a twit It surely learned me - didn' it That whilst this Judy stole my heart Some other swine had robbed my cart!
(Best recited in a scouse accent)
At junior school, the teacher used to put poems on the board for us to copy into our books - some of them stuck - or bits of them which makes me go looking for them 35 years later!
