Shoeless Rap

Like a spreading infection,
The Historic section,
Can cause a breakdown
A complete shakedown
Posts from members
Like sitting on embers
Of a fire from hell
There’s mod Mike Bell
Posts helter skelter
From that chap Delta
Not by chance
Trash from France
Ex patriate Jean
Sure as your born
Quite absurd
I say Merde
Not too hard
There’s Gerard
A real Frog
The whole hog
MGDavy
Rich as gravy
Smooth on the palate
Peter Mallet
Like a preacher
Gordon Streeter,
Gary with a number
Oh! For slumber
Take some facing
Does Just Racing
I’ve no axe
To grind with Max
Pull a lever
Up pops Viva
And please don’t start
On that Mike Harte
Is he a faker
Lancsbreaker
Now here’s a thing
Terence at the ring
Consider GrantP
Well not me!
A touch of colic
Oh Alfaholic
Another man
Come’s Jasper Clan
Oh ay
C McKay
And seldom seen
Mike Broadbent Bean.
Now don’t get Brahms
If you’ve been missed.

I think he's a sandals-&-socks man. Pretty much standard wear in Luton.

Robert you can't hide from being a really nice person. A poet too. You dont need any orchestra the music is in your words.

As to socks along with sandals I guess Jean can find something very German in Essen for you. The pairs with the big toe separated from others for instance!

I gratefully accept the two pairs of shoes on offer, size 8 broad, slip-on style, one pair in black the other in dark brown please.
I assume that they will be hand made by Church. Naturally.

Sabots? Non.

Made by Church, Robert? Damn good shoes ya mean then… What should we do with the German style socks already ordered then?
If this doesn't stick to the thread to your eyes what the heck could ?

Youre right about sabots but please note that our national René Arnoux use to wear a pair between two GP's!

Gerard, Mon Ami, you are too kind. German socks? Knee high in black I assume. If surplus to my requirements maybe they could be stuffed with straw, and tied around the wheels of you Capri as racing tyres?

More later o the subject.

Well Ami Robert ya no what a good suggestion you made here. If the socks are warming style it might be forbidden in certain category… Unless they have red pompoms! Socks is the nickname we give to tires. And when you say "this takes the cake" we say ben alors ça, c'est le pompon!

Just be grateful I did not bring 'position'* into the opus, I feel that there are certain aspects of your character best left out of the Historic Section.

*OBscene; Radio speak for an Outside Broadcast location.

A Frisky old marshal, named Broadbent
When asked what position he meant
Said in the future
Try the Karma Sutra.
But not during the season of Lent.

I rest my case.

I don't know about your shoes Bob, but I think you'll be needing a larger hat size!

Don't give him a hat he'll only lose it along with his shoes

While you lot are enjoying the balmy Goodwood weather, according to the latest forecast my northern sojourn will explain exactly why there are so many lakes in Cumbria! Enjoy yourselves one and all, stay safe if you're racing. I'll try and catch up in the hotel when I get back each evening, I'm expecting some tales of daring-do from Tenthers next week

At last a touch of sanity returns to this forum, thank you Midgetman.
Some of the recent posts from various contributors have been ... well! Silly.

I name no names but I am sure you all recognise them, and maybe they will now endeavour to stick to the main purpose of this particular section, which is to amuse and entertain..............

Oh! Oops! Er! Ahem!

Sorry got go to go........................
