Jester from Leicester. Limerick.

Goldfinch60



There once was an artist from Leicester

Who thought he was a bit of a jester

He would pick up some wood

Create what he could

To see if he could get an investor

    GOOD MORNING UNCLE ANDY ~ Just off to Work ~ First lecture 11am. Having been born in LANCASHIRE I am a life long UKULELE (and George Formby) Fan. I learned to play one in a week before I graduated to the acoustic GUITAR which takes a lifetime to master. I too have heard the UKE ORCHESTRA of GB and I am still recovering. The U3A has recently (out of desperation ?) added UKULELE GROUPS to its ancillary classes (several of my extended Family have been seduced !) and in my TOWN I have encountered them several times strumming in unison at FETES etc. The UKE is back on track ! Thanks for Caring & Sharing Blessings & Love to You & Joyce ~ BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Please check Today's Poem on WORDS ~ Thanks B & A ~ It contains the MAORI SONG (sans Uke !) KIA ORA ~ Good Health !

    Leicester is a place I avoid like the plague - not a nice place to visit so no offence taken.

    There was a young maid from Leicester
    Who tried to scam an investor
    Into giving her cash
    At a local bash
    Till along came the plod to arrest her

      Was that Miss Berles up to her tricks?

      • Michael Edwards

        She was a burlesque dancer .

          Never been to Leicester so I wouldn't know but I will not go by your recommendation.

          A sizzling dish from Broadway
          Fancied her chances with swordplay
          But a dashing young chef
          Carved her very last breath
          And served her up finest gormet

            I will have to find that retaurant. Like Broadway.
