After euromilitaire

[peedee]

Now the big weekend is over, the judging done and the travelling home begins, we should now look forward to next year with a tune and a ditty that could become the bust painter's anthem

To be sung with passion, gusto, and wistful melancholia for better times that are gone.

O brush of sable
When will we see . . .
your like again,
That blended and dried when,
Your tin boys were painted as men
And stood against him
Proud Pegaso's arrrrmee,
And sent 'em homeward,
Tae paint again.

The shelves are bare now,
And commended slips . . .
lie thick and still,
O'er comps that are lost now
Which we once so nearly won,
And stood against him
Proud Pegaso's arrrrmee,
And sent 'emm homeward
Tae paint again

Those Euro's have passed now
And in the past . . .
they must remain.
But we can still rise now
And be gold winners again,
That stood against him
Proud Pegaso's arrrmee
And sent 'em homeward
Tae paint again.


I hope you all enjoyed it all and spent far too much
Paul

Very good, Paul, it was a great weekend again,and yes,....I probably did spend far too much. But as they say, there's no pockets in a shroud

Cheers, Alan

Had a great time, very pleased with all my purchases, and it was good to make some new friends.
Roll on Euro 2015

Good poem Paul, just hope the voyage home doesn;t take as long as Oddysseus'

I'm glad you like the poetry gary
But it's a parody on flower of Scotland.
Sing along now you know the tune !
Or try these little ditties

Pack up all my figures so
Off we go, stooping low
Bye-Bye Euro
Where my family waits for me
I'll smuggle these in,
while she makes my tea
Bye-Bye, Euro!

No one there that judges, understands me,
Oh, what. hard-luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light, ask me what I spent; I lied.
Folkestone: Bye-Bye

I have bought my busts and bits
Tools and paint racks
Bases and kits
Bye bye Euro
Met my pals,
what tales we swapped
The kits we'd made,
The ones we dropped
Bye-Bye Euro

No one there that judges, understands me,
Oh, what. hard-luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light, ask me what I spent; I lie
Folkestone, Bye-Bye

I was also thinking of:-

It's a long way,
to fall from Leas Cliffe
It's a long way to fall,
It's a long way,
So, Mister judge sir
That's my bust right there!

Which would you vote for as a song for euro please folks

 

[garyhiggins]

I wondered about Flower of Scotland, let me guess------- Bye Bye Birdie and Tipperary? Personally, I go more for Speed Bonny Boat!!!
I think you've got the same daft sense of humour as me.

Best wishes, Gary.

Carry the models that sink without trace,
Over the sea to Skye.

Oh thanks for the reminder about the failure of the clan rising that's just what I need, just like my boss asking me to ring north wales clients just because the dial code is 0 1745 he thought it was hilarious so I gave them all discount !
Ha that'll teach him.

 

[taff edwards]

Awesome fellas
Cheers Chris

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

true Scots sense of humour there Paul

 

[peedee]

I wondered wen you and brian would find this
Ha ha
It's one thing making them stand up for "a wee tune" at Murrayfield,
After last weeks schtick I thought maybe a
"Song for Euro" might catch 'em out.
Johnny cope and odes to haggis' don't translate so well though eh?

Thanks to all for joining in with the spirit of this
Paul
