Voicemale - The Fairytale of Morpeth (and VoiceMale)

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
