DESERT ISLAND RISKS ! A RHYMING SONNET ~ ANGELA & BRIAN

ANGELA & BRIAN



ALL I WANT ON ME DESERT ISLAND ~ IS A STEEL BAND !

 

WHAT DO WE NEED  to survive 

On a DESERT ISLAND ~ keepin* alive ? 

A MACHETE for choppin* up & down trees

A TENT to protect from the tropical breeze

A SLEEPIN* BAG ~ so at night you dont freeze !

MATCHES & LIGHTER ~ to make the nights brighter

Rubbin* sticks is a tryer ~ but it sure dont make Fire !

A FISHIN* NET ~ for catchin* us Supper

A MOBILE PHONE ~ for textin* me Mudder !

A MIRROR ~ for sendin* signals with Sun

A HAMMOCK ~ for chillin* when the days work is done !

A SAUCE PAN ~ for cookin* whatever weve caught 

AND A COMPASS to tell us the SOUTH from the NORTH !

PRAY & keep fit ~ You must just survive ~ with all this KIT !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ bring a BOAT ~ LOVE A & B  🧡🧡🧡

 

WE asked 2500 People (18 - 72) in the UK what ONE thing

they would most need to survive on a remote Desert Island.

The TEN most populay choices are listed in order in the Sonnet.

They are highlighted in UPPER CASE.  What would you chose ?

  • dusk arising

    I'd require one more thingy
    An inflatable dingy
    And a lovely lady
    to row it

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      Thanks DA ~ Sounds like Paradise Island ! Weve added a STEEL BAND (with a lovely Lady !) please check !

      Blessings & Peace & Joy
      Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡

    • orchidee

      A fine write B&A. Where ya going?! lol.

      • ANGELA & BRIAN

        Thanks UNCLE STEVE : There are lots of uninhabited Islands in the Antipodes ! Si one capsizes saling off NZ one could easily end up on one ! BRIAN was a SCOUTt and I was a GUIDE so we have been on survival exercises and could cope. The three main requirements are Water - Food & Shelter.
        Blessings to YOU & FIDO
        A DOG always a good companion !

      • Michael Edwards

        Wot - no phone charger?
        Nice one A&B

        • ANGELA & BRIAN

          Thanks UNCLE MIKE ~ The cell phone has an integral Solar Charger ~ OK. By the same token the CD player for Desert Island Discs is solar powered ! A solar powered MICROWAVE would also be handy ! One ends up GLAMPING instead of jusr surviving ~ AMEN

          Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡

          • Michael Edwards

            Simples! Can you get solar powered knee caps?

            • ANGELA & BRIAN

              NO UNCLE MIKE ~ Youve been praying too much again ~ BUT you cn get plastic ones ! Frictionless & pain free !

              Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN
              🧡 🧡 🧡 🧡

            • Fay Slimm.

              Must have me books and they weight a load - most of 'em of course are devoted to poetry......... great read again you two and love the steel band.

              • ANGELA & BRIAN

                Thanks FAY ~ A bit of a departure for us but we love Steel Bands and wrote the Poem to include *Island in the SUN* ! Most of our Poems (unless they are personal ~ like tomorrows ABUELA) are collaborations ! The questionairre was about SURVIVAL and 95% of the UK population could live without BOOKS but not you or us ! On DESERT ISLAND DISCS they always get A GIDEON BIBLE (AMEN) and one other BOOK !

                Blessings and Good Reading
                Love through Poetry ANGELA & BRIAN
                🧡 🧡 🧡 🧡

              • Lorna

                Books for sure - if only one (or two) allowed: I Claudius and Claudius the God.

              • Suresh

                Thank god I read your piece, for I was truly ill prepared. I'll also take that dingy from DA and the lady too.

                • ANGELA & BRIAN

                  Sorry *S* we sent a comment instead of a reply ~ Please CHECK ~ A & B 🧡

                • ANGELA & BRIAN

                  Thanks SURESH ~ now you know what you need to survive ANYWHERE ! I too thought DAs DINGY was a good idea ~ I'll settle for a LADY but Angela wants a PRINCE HARRY look alike !

                  Blessings & Peace & Love
                  Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡

                • ANGELA & BRIAN

                  Thanks for your comment *OUT* Yes indeed nowhere on Planet earth is safe anymore due to the stockpile of *Weapons of MASS DESTRUCTION* ! My MACHETE might protect me against Island Snakes etc but not NUKES !
                  Yours ANGELA & BRIAN ! !
