She sits in the tawny vapour
That the Thames-side lanes have uprolled,
Behind whose webby fold on fold
Like a waning taper
The street-lamp glimmers cold.
A messenger’s knock cracks smartly,
Flashed news is in her hand
Of meaning it dazes to understand
Though shaped so shortly:
‘He – has fallen – in the far South land. . . ‘
‘Tis the morrow; the fog hangs thicker,
The postman nears and goes:
A letter is brought whose lines disclose
By the firelight flicker
His hand, whom the worm now knows:
Fresh – firm – penned in highest feather –
Page – full of his hoped return,
And of home-planned jaunts by brake and burn
In the summer weather,
And of new love that they would learn.

Actually the first game I ever saw was Spurs playing at home. There I was, climbing over the wall,but this policeman saw me……….”Get back in there !! “, he shouted.
But nothing was going to make me do that, and I’d already been sick twice that morning. He tried to grab hold of me and in the scuffle I accidentally knocked his helmet off. I remember this very angry blonde-haired man shouting “Right, you’re nicked !!”
Lets….Go…Fly A Kite !
He posts the biggest Shyte !

the Wailers back catalogue has hardly been touched, and I’m amazed that nobody has gone for this one yet. Originally written for Johnny Nash but here’s the skipper on his first UK television appearance……..Whistle Test circa 73.
Is dub allowable if we invoke the Pink Ting Soda rule variation?
only if it’s grapefruit based, and you down a lot of it. In fact I’m sure someone’s already tried linking some King Tubby……..probably one of those mad fools who eats mucho bananas.
