• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

Seeing as today is National Poetry Day 2022 here’s one I wrote earlier entitled Day Tripping.

Day Tripping
Going to the seaside gonna take some drugs
gonna go and talk to trees,give them mummy hugs
watching all the fishies flying past my head
need to be more careful or i'll forget what I said

Sitting in the moon beams swinging from the trees
eating soggy sandwiches with cream cheese
drinking fizzy cordial custard pop
all bought together from the funny food shop

Purple spotted snowflakes falling from the sun
a green striped elephant sucking on a bun
psychedelic surfers up and down the dunes
troops of little monkeys blowing up balloons

Sitting at the seaside eating ice cream pies
looking at the yellow clouds in the orange skies
putting on the headphones listening to the band
watching all the polar bears playing in the sand

What a load of nonsense what a load of crap
what a strange fellow what a funny chap
needs to see a therapist,needs to see him soon
before he builds a rocket and heads off to the moon

That's been written by someone that knows you very well, its you down to the T's being dotted, it even touches on your fetish for moon's and rockets, when'the next Alien meeting :lol:
 
Didnt know that, Ive done a few in the past, no best sellers though..lol
 
Plenty of poetry nights about these days butt. James Lilley, the bareknuckle boxer from Swansea puts one on up the Afan Tavern.
