Hello everyone. Here is my poem for this month's #Furrybards at #Furrytails. I hope you enjoy it

DARK NIGHTS
The days have shortened, and the clocks gone back
The sun has gone down, and the sky has turned black,
But it’s not the time to hide and mope,
For the stars they twinkle and give us hope,
The moon it helps to show the way,
And makes sure from the path we do not stray,
And tonight the fireworks fill the sky,
As the flames rise up and consume the Guy,
And soon it will be time to prepare the way,
For Santa to come aboard his sleigh,
And then a new year will start again,
And no one knows what will happen then,
But the days will lengthen and slowly grow,
As the seasons continue to ebb and flow.

Today is my last gig as FYJO chief roadie. I am retiring from the position as YLH is now leaving the band.

Today is the 50th anniversary concert for Fife Youth Jazz Orchestra. A significant milestone for the band

Feathers McGraw wanted poster - ‘have you seen this chicken?’ Translated into school French “recherché - avez vous vu ce poulet?” [spoiler- we know the ‘chicken’ is really a penguin with a rubber glove on its head in disguise]

Hello Everyone. Here is my poem for this month's #furrybards. I've taken a little artistic licence with this topic, so I hope you like it.

By the way I am #definitelynotaspy

#furrytails

SPOOKS
Ghosts are sometimes known as spooks,
As sometimes are those who are known to spy,
Perhaps they are trying to hunt down nukes,
But often they are looking to keep an eye.

Secret agents like to hide away,
As they carry out their work in silence,
They dress in black and darkest grey,
And hide behind the garden fence.

They can disappear into the background,
and report your deeds unto their masters,
and sometimes they cannot be found,
as they seek to prevent imminent disasters.

But I, of course, am not a spy,
Despite what many stuffies think,
I've never chased down a foreign bad guy,
Or had a shaken vodka drink.

But yes I'll keep the Aston car,
and drive it as often as I can,
I'll drive it near and drive it far,
and hope I don't get a driving ban.

But now I must get on my way,
as a mission has just filled up my inbox,
What the task is I cannot say,
As the attachments are all top secret docs.

Hello everyone, here is my poem for this month's #furrybards #furrytails. I hope you all enjoy it.

What I did on my holidays.

This year has been a busy year,
So we really needed some times of cheer,
We took some time to wander North,
At some time around July the 4th.

We first of all saw a hoom graduate,
We were really proud as she did great,
Then we went to see some hooms get wed,
Before even further North we sped.

We got unto the far North West,
It was there that we did finally rest,
We sat upon the beach and swam,
And then went back to have a dram.

We looked for otters and other beasts,
And we all enjoyed so many feasts,
But all too soon it was time for home,
And we all wished that we could just roam and roam.

by Codsy, aged 25 and three quarters.

Next month we will be back to normal on the first Wednesday of the month and the theme will be "What I did on my holidays" - the old back to school classic. I'll send out a reminder the week before.
