Shanties Getting Better.

Goldfinch60



Once more my lover and I

Walked into the pub

As we do every two weeks,

I ordered my pint of mild

And my lovers coffee,

We sat at our normal table

And we waited.

The others slowly came in,

Ordered their drinks and sat down.

When all were here we started,

Started singing Sea Shanties

And a great time was had,

A time full of songs and laughter.

There were others in the pub,

Others not in the group,

And the great thing was

That we must be getting better,

Better in singing the shanties,

As fewer of them left the pub.

      Love this, Andy. And the last line made me smile. I used to play in a ukulele group, and had the same thoughts. We're not driving EVERYONE away. 🙂 and a sea shanty group sounds just brilliant. Cheers, Tom.

        Thank you Tom, yes it is such fun to be in this group.

        Would they all leave if I was singing too?! lol.

        • Goldfinch60

          They wouldn't allow you anywhere near Orchi. LOL

          Gotta love a Sea Shanty. Perhaps the inn keep has gotten shrewd and locked the door GF?

          • Goldfinch60

            Yes they are great to sing. He may well have locked the door SC.

              Why is it that such pub stories are so nostalgic and warm in their nature. So well written and laid out Gold. Loved it.

              • Goldfinch60

                Yes they generally are nostalgic and warm soren, thank you for your thoughts.

                And more and more of the others are joining in the singing, right? 😃

                • Goldfinch60

                  They surely seem to be AP. Thank you.
