This page follows on from PAGE 1 of our competition entries. 


Voting has now closed. Results to be announced at our meeting on 24 October.

ENTRY 20

THE HEART by Jo Morgan

The heart is strong 

Da dun, da dun, 

It beats 

Da dun, da dun

And pumps 

Da dun, da dun

Pushing blood through veins 

Da dun, da dun

Sending Oxygen around the body

Da dun, da dun

Allowing us to dance and have fun

DA DUN, DA DUN 

Keeping us alive

Da dun, da dun

Giving us the joy of love

Da-dun, da-dun

The excited flutters in our chest 

Dadun dadun

But the heart is also fragile, 

da, dun, da, dun

It can break

da, dun . . . . da.  . dun

Causing so much pain and sorrow  

D-a dun, d-a du, 

One organ, one rhythm, one beat

Da dun, da dun

So many emotions

Da dun, da dun

So many functions

Da dun, da dun 

Da dun, da dun 

 

ENTRY 21

GIVE THESE A CHANCE by Ian Welland

NOTES TO READER: 

This is a parody of Give Peace A Chance written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney in 1969; and homage to the famous bridge on the M25 at Maple Cross with the inscription, Give Peas A Chance. Readers are invited to recite the following by singing in the style and tune of the famous song!

-----


C’mon, Everyone’s talkin’ ‘bout 

wobbly legs, 

hair of red, 

stare of dread, 

costly bread, yep, costly bread


All we are saying, is give knees a chance

C’mon, 

All we are saying, is give knees a chance.


C’mon, Everyone’s talkin’ ‘bout 

Funny eyes, 

Woops and cry

Living it high,

Oh my, oh oh my!


All we are saying, is give cheeks a chance

Here me now, 

All we are saying, is give cheeks a chance.


C’mon, Everyone’s talkin’ ‘bout

Autumn leaf,

Sunday beef,

Coral reef

Winter grief, yep, winter grief 


All we are saying, is give teeth a chance

Can’t hear you, 

All we are saying, is give teeth a chance.


C’mon, Everyone’s talkin’ ‘bout 

Smiley face,

Going to space,

Heaven and grace

Watford place, yep Watford as a place


All we are saying, is give feet a chance

Shoes on now, 

All we are saying, is give feet a chance.


C’mon, Everyone’s talkin’ ‘bout 

Nose and mouth,

Pains and gout,

Heading south,

Out and about, yep, out and about


All we are saying, is give these a chance

One more time now, 

All we are saying, is give these a chance.
