Voicemale - The Fairytale of Morpeth (and VoiceMale)

11/30/20242 min read

Itโ€™s that time of year when the Boars Head ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ—makes his regular appearance. Does anyone remember this poem from a couple of years ago? Sing it to the Boars Head.

We were rebuilding the choir after Covid. We donโ€™t seem to have done too bad lads.

See you all on Sunday - singing the songs three times through under no pressure will be excellent practice for Blyth, Wylam and Warkworth.

Onwards and upwards VoiceMale ๐ŸŽผ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽต๐Ÿš€

The Fairytale of Morpeth (and VoiceMale)

The VoiceMale choir as I understand

Is the finest choir in Northumberland

With joyful song and Jon Doran

Our listeners are in wonderland

It was Christmas in the Tap and Spile

As VoiceMale tarried for a while

To sing some songs and sup some beer

And celebrate a successful year

The weather was cold - nay, brass monkeys

With snow on the ground and a freezing breeze

But that didnโ€™t deter our band of happy boozers

Who battled the elements to sing some schmoozers

So it was grand to see such a good turnout

Including Mike R, now recovered from his gout

Oh sorry Mike, it was a gammy knee

We all wish you a speedy recoveree (๐Ÿ˜‚)

And Will gave us the solo of the night

About poor Paddyโ€™s tragic plight

What a great voice you have young man

A super addition to the VoiceMale band!!

Well Margo gave us a super spread

Plenty of Landlord to wash down our cheese and bread ๐Ÿฅ– ๐Ÿง€

It was a great way to sign off a canny year

Come on admit it, in our eyes we had a tear ( ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿฅฒ?)

2022 was a year of recovery โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

With Covid behind us we ended loverly

With many faces both old and new

You all contributed to a super do!!!

From where weโ€™ve been youโ€™ll all agree

Six concerts in the year is a great achieve ๐ŸŽผ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽถ

Great progress made in adversity

The future is sound , we can all believe

So hereโ€™s an end to my ramble

Writing it has been a poor example

Of a retired engineer with too much time

To spend on writing silly rhyme

So thank you lads for your smiling faces ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

And good humour which the gloom displaces

It makes for a joyous Wednesday night

When we all know the tv is sh*te

I pray you my masters be merry ๐ŸŽ„

Drink lots of wine and cheap sherry ๐Ÿป

If you canโ€™t find a Boars head to consume

Then itโ€™s ๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿฆƒ again I do presume
