Interesting itinerary. I think it would televise well, if you could find the people in question again. Maybe \'Alabama revisited\'.

Memories of Uranus
Barry Hodges said:
How many times have I looked up from my pillow to see Uranus near me?
So near I could almost touch it. Or smell it.

Good fun, enjoyed this.

Memories of Liverpool
ANGELA & BRIAN said:
GOOD MORNING BARRY ~ Take care we know where you live !
As a born (1983) and bred SCOUCER I have failed to recognise MY LIVERPOOL from your description ! However you did describe your Poem as a JOKE (which it was !) and us SCOUCERS do have the best Ken Dodd Sense of Humour in the World ~ AMEN
In My LIVERPOOL Home ~ In MY Liverpool Home
We speak with an accent ~ exceedingly Rare
Walk under a Statue ~ exceedingly Bare
If yer wanna CATHEDRAL ~ weve got ONE to SPARE
In My LIVERPOOL HOME !
I was born in LIVERPOOL ~ down by the Docks
Me religion was Cath*lick ~ occupation ard knocks
At nicken an picken ~ we was adept
Under old overcoats each night we slept !
Way back in the 40\'s ~ The whole World went mad
The Jerries threw at us ~ All that they ad
Through the dust an the smoke ~ we heard the ALL CLEAR
Thank GOD said me Granddad ~ The PIER EDS still ere !
The GREEN an the ORANGE ~ ave battled fer years
Theyve give us some laffs & theyve give us some tears
But scoucers they dont want Heavens Rewards
They just wanna green card ter get inta FORDS !
If its FOOTBALL yer wantin ~ Our Team is the TOP
Its L I V E R P O O L theyre screamin down at the KOP
And then of course ~ Theres E V E R T O N too
We all have to choose ~ the RED or the BLUE !
The BEATLES are acknowled as the best Pop Group by far
With John - Paul an George an on skins RINGO STARR !
An if its Ladies yer wantin no style do we lack
The CAVERN CLOAKS CHECK GIRL ~ we call CILLA BLACK !
LIVERPOOL has always been a CITY of great Culture and the First BLUES ~ JAZZ & COUNTRY & WESTERN Clubs in the UK ~ we all in Liverpool because they came over on the Boat. Liverpool has always been regarded as the 51st State of America. Especially after the Establishment of the Burtonwood Flying Fortress Airbase in WW2. We dont mind Poeple taking the pee out of us because we know we are (and always will be !) the best City in the World ! Im an Ambassador for Northern Culture in Essex and I can vouch from experience that Liverpool Judies are ten times prettier than Essex Girls and ten time cheaper and sexier ! I rest my case !
Blessings to You & Yours
Yours BRIAN ~ Proud to be a Scoucer & an EVERTONIAN !

Brian here - Good Afternoon BARRY - Welcome to MPS. Thanks for your first Poem - more like Black Humour ! I like the structure of your poem - free verse but full of rhythm ! Amsterdam does have a sleezy reputation but we enjoyed our visit. Loved the canals - all the bikes - the coffee & the tulips & windmills in the region. We did not like the Open Prostitution - Porn Shops & Drug Scene like Vanity Fair ! The content of your elegant poem is very very noir !
Thanks for sharing - I have addeed you as a Friend - OK
Yours BRIAN.
