Lipstick Sheep (in my defence)

[billy]

I realise now why you consider it off Billy, I wrote this whilst on a singles holiday in Menorca for it to be read out to my fellow walkers, now others might not be able to make it scan but for me with the accents in the right place it works well, maybe performing it is different to reading it and perhaps a little more punctuation would help.
No I am not a City fan though all my kids lean that way, likewise I am not a Red either, I suffered a season ticket at Bury for some 14 yrs in the 80's until my brother passed away when the passion went out of football for me. Hollands pies, I thought you could get them almost anywhere these days,
Cheers for the input, much appreciated

lancashire, i'm from stretford, missing hollands meat and potato pies


it's the same with me. and i suspect many others. i can see stuff in other peoples poetry but miss it in my own. i think we're wired up to think....mmm that's a good poem i just wrote

ps, it's off, not because of you're accent but because it's off. you must be a city fan ...if it were an odd foot then maybe that would be the case but in some places it's a lot more than that. it's a still a great read. it all depends how great you want it to be

we don't get decent sausages or pork pies either
the spoken word is often set out a lot different in the mind than it is on the paper.
