Voicemale - The Fairytale of Morpeth (and VoiceMale)
11/30/20242 min read
It’s that time of year when the Boars Head 🐷🐗🐗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 don’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 🎼🎶🎵🚀
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 didn’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 (😂)
And Will gave us the solo of the night
About poor Paddy’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 🥖 🧀
It was a great way to sign off a canny year
Come on admit it, in our eyes we had a tear ( 👀🥲?)
2022 was a year of recovery ❤️🩹
With Covid behind us we ended loverly
With many faces both old and new
You all contributed to a super do!!!
From where we’ve been you’ll all agree
Six concerts in the year is a great achieve 🎼🎵🎶
Great progress made in adversity
The future is sound , we can all believe
So here’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 😀😀😀
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 🎄
Drink lots of wine and cheap sherry 🍻
If you can’t find a Boars head to consume
Then it’s 🦃🦃🦃 again I do presume
