I was inspired today to finally write an ode to the Official Kinks Fan Club after reading a poem uncleson hard written (randomly) about his dog Gordie on the Poems thread. It turns out, Sleepy had requested that I write this ode back in Nov. of 2010 but I never got around to it and had forgotten her plea. It's just some random thoughts compiled at the computer, but it captured the spirit and sentiments I wanted to covey!
I thought that I might take the unusual step of isolating this ode in it's own thread as well (the thread refered to is the 'Our Poems, Prose etc)!
Random Ode to the Red Board
Sorry that I've been away from this thread
I thought you could just listen to what the man Tim said
What's all this talk about the grey and the red
And who is around now to bump countless threads?
Alfred and Frank together again
Once foe and now the best of friends
Holly as board moderator has many duties and demands
but the burden is hopefully lighter now and she can make Nick Lowe show plans
Uncle doting on Liza, Gordie and all his animal clan
You can always hear in the background the voice of Leonard Cohen
Sleepy loves Donny and I bet that he comprehends
He has the greatest of owners and the best of friends
Oh if we could go back and relive our youth way back when
but at least we have a new poster here who makes us feel 16again !
I was thinking of those who made the decision to ban the Kinks from the US
If Kinkcan had been the head of quality control then there'd have been no such BS!
There are days when things are going wrong and it seems it will never end
Then I decide to check the board and all seems right as Smiley has just logged in!
I couldn't figure out what Kinks album to put on and seemed stuck in fret
Then I saw the Lola.. lp on the shelf and thought, Powerman, he's the best, you bet!
If things are dull nothing jolts me into action like an unexpected post from Wakeup!
Bub, we're loving having you here even if it is after a board dustup!
MrLennie and Luis aren't around much here but in this we are so sincere
That we love seeing them from time to time during the year!
He has a flair for games and quality posting
Gary has added depth to the board and deserves toasting
Sleepy just sent me her own creative and incredibly funny skit
But I don't think it can be posted on the board, so you'll have to take my word on it
What more can I say, I've always shown Tim nothing but love,
He's the greatest of brothers with compassion and literary gifts from above!
Random, in that these were random thoughts I just wrote down!
PS 4-5-2012 : The poem was a thing of it's time and place and I don't want to alter it! But, I think I'll add this verse and let it stand on it's own!
Life can sometimes be filled with busyness, agony, stress, and strife
But on This Time Tomorrow we can always find words of sustenance from Complicatedlife!
