The Kintyre Forum Poem ( First line)

[ionnsaigh]

Let's hope tomorrow you have a ball.

And chain

[linda_j]

and will you have a long maine.....

[Bitter End]

or perchance a choo choo train

[ionnsaigh]

Great steaming locomotive - pounding down the track
whistle blowing -the fire a glowing - driver on her back
here she comes round the bend - screaming - smoke an soot
brake a screeching - wheels a turning - flying spitting steam.

[Bitter End]

the driver sits there like a god he's a decent mate but an idle sod
though I be shovelin on my knees still he'd be sittin at his ease

[linda_j]

Here come Thomas the Tank Engine

[ionnsaigh]

Thomas the tank engine - he looks so bright and clean
going down the track singing - god save the queen

[ionnsaigh]

Tonight the night - witches brew
spooks and ghouls to name a few
spiderman Arabs a vampire too
up the close wae a bag or two

A chap at the door - who could it be
a fairy a princess and a bumble bee
wee eyes look up - up at me
The princess the fairy an the bumble bee

Glaswegian accents ring out clear - not mean
smiling an laughing - they cry - hiv ye goat anythin fur Halloween
nuts an apple and a piece of cake - maybe a fruit they have never seen
lets fill your bag - an see you smile - awe the weans its Halloween.

[linda_j]

The witches fly
Across the sky,
The owls go, "Who? Who? Who?"
The black cats yowl
And green ghosts howl,
"Scary Halloween to you!"

Chap chap chap - wee jack
hif ya enythin fur halloween
wit ur ye dressed is
a victum o a slashing

Nae fairy - nae princess - or bee
auld claes - rid marks oan face
aye times change - thought I
is it a song or a joke jack

A joke says he - Fiona says a hope it's clean
oh I - it's clean says he
Wit da ye call a shoap wae a hunner nuns init
don't know says we
A virgin megastore says he
aye very good says we.

This happened last night, word for word.
