Hey Baz.......
I told you I impersonate Miss Peggy Lee,
So I sat and watched her recent documentary.....
Lots of noted people spoke about her gift,
A truly total talent if you catch my drift.
She wrote her own music, and man, she could sing!
She was hot, she was cool, and this woman would swing!
Dave Barbour, the musician, the love of her life,
She adored the time that she had been his wife.
Words of tribute were paid to this diva,
Who made a hot hit of that base and drums "Feva"!
Among the lucky ones who knew her well,
Was Nancy Sinatra, who spoke for a spell.
She mentioned growing up with Nicki, Peggy's daughter,
Being at the house and playing 'round the water.
Dave would play guitar and he was oh so good,
Imagine growing up in such a neighborhood.
Nancy said that Peggy could compare to Elvis,
With that great looking mouth (but she didn't mention pelvis!)
Just wanted to share that... 'cause that's what we do,
And Baz, it's time for some reaction from you!

HI Shaz
That's some story!...
Peggy Lee's time of glory.
I must try to see that documentary
on the good ol' UK TV.
I remember hearing Peggy had some bad times with men?
but this guy Dave Barbour sounds like an ok type gent.
A guitarist as well, I guess that was great
To hear Peggy sing to a guitarist's 4/4 gait.
.So did Peggy know Elvis? well those were the days.
Blue suade shoes a boppin' to the folks on the hill's parade.
Well I gotta get on there are things to be doing.
Take care of yourself, hey...do you know the saying " mother's ruin"?

Hey Baz,
It's a great story, yes, but it's also the truth,
I'll tell you no lies, Baz, cause that's too uncouth!
Peggy Lee was cool, and you know folks who've known her,
A legend like that.... they could never have outgrown her.
Don't know if she knew Elvis,
I imagine she did.....
Anyone who knew her was a fortunate kid.
She reminds me of myself in an interesting way,
As I love to sit and write when I've got something to say.
I may not write the melodies, but words, they seem to flow.
And I love her sense of rhythm when she sings it out, you know?
The men in her life, there were four married times,
But Dave was the only one to really ring her chimes.
You can talk to her daughter and her granddaughter ,too...
And they will testify that what I'm telling you is true!
She fell in love with Barbour, before she saw his face,
He played in Benny Goodman's Band, exciting time and place.
It took some time to snag him,
A couple months or more.....
But man, the time she had with him,
She truly did adore!!!
From your friendly blond across the pond,
Shaz

Hi Shaz
Peter Warner is an artist, a friend from way back when.
He is known for his books on cats and dogs and they really should be seen.
His illustrations are superb, correct in every way.
It takes years of practice to become world famous and Peter has made the grade.
How do you describe in detail a lifetime's work like this?
You could try a search for Peter and then click on the "world wide web".
To cap it all he plays clarinette. Extremely well as well. So there you have it
Shazzer, a story i just HAD to tell.

Oh yes, I know of Peter Warner,
ARTISTE', quite astounding!
His lifelike vibrant cats and dogs,
Just make my heart start pounding!
A gift like his is oh so precious,
Truly rare indeed...
He IS the master of his craft,
And others should take heed!
The magic of his artistry,
Just touches me so deeply,...
Talent from a "higher power",
Never does come cheaply.
There may not be another Peter, Painting in our midst,
His stunning Cat books always have been,
High upon my list!
My orange Tabby "Skippy,"
Of bless-ed memory,
Can be found in Peter's books,
Some look so much like he.
Well Baz, I think I've said it all,
I think you might detect,
That I'm in awe of his pure talent,
He's got my respect!!!

Talent, What's that? I don't know what you mean?
I'm an old builder who is never quite clean.
It's paint and cement and plaster and that
that I have to work with to pay for my hat.
Now poetry, well that's different. It's artistic and clean.
With Shaz in America to catch me when I lean.
So on with the thinking head, out with the puter
knock out the poems like a good poet 'oughter.
(Good looking poets are the worst...lock up your Daughters!)
LOL.

Listen old builder, who's never quite clean,
At least the words coming from your mouth aint mean!
Paint, and cement, and all that plaster,
Help pay the rent, just a little bit faster!
Sure, we like to write and you can lean on me...
I'm sitting here in Florida with heat at top degree!
While dear old Bazza's gonna face another winter...
Careful when you knock that nail in!
Please don't get a splinter!
Work until the whether's bad,
Slave to pay your dues.....
Come November Baz will sing,
The winter worry blues.
Builder! Poet! Great musician, too!
Worry wort, of a sort, Brilliant Bazzo, you!

Why thanks kind Lady i like those words and here's the reason why for it.
I like the "brilliant Bazza" bit, but without a million dollers i have to keep "at it", "at it" ," at it".
It's easy to have ego and think the "bees knees" you am
but once the wonga is in the bank i will feel a MUCH better man.
Poets are remembered. There was 'ol Keets and 'ol' Wordswoth too. Ol' Shakespere made a name as well and so will me and YOU.
LOL

You live in England, The queen of gray, So do rejoice This sunny day. But don't be blue when clouds bring rain, Just write to Shazza once again. I'll try to bring some Florida sun, At least in writing, we'll have fun. It rains here too, but I don't mind, Creative things I try to find. It's nice staying home and getting cozy,
Cloudy days can be quite rosy!

Don't let money pain you,It merely must sustain you.Of course it's made and soon it's spent,But out of shape... please don't get bent!I've met your Bett, a smart, wise shopper,Give her the dough, and please don't stop her!She makes the meals that make you "fat",Now what the heck is wrong with that?Keep on bringing in that dough.
A fella's gotta eat, ya know!

It's sunny today and that makes a change,
the first time for weeks that it's shining.
It's makes me cheer up I can tell you for sure Let's hope for a whole load MORE.

Money is SUCH a pain.
It does in my brain.
All that time wasted in life
working for money to give to your wife!.
What happens then?
Out she goes shopping.
Trollies on the go in that "supermarket show".
So...
Down goes the pile...by a bloody mile!
THEN...
Out you go again to get in more "grain".
Does that sound sane?
Not to me mate.
I would rather have my big feet stuck up
on a fireside grate.
That soungs GREAT.
Bazza at the grate....mate.

And now for something sexy!
I keep getting spam arive about improving my manhood?
That provoked the following poem exchanges !!!
================
Informing Shaz' :-
Why do I keep getting emails trying to get
me to increase the size of my manhood?
Do they know something that i dont?
=================
Hey... don' t complain. They keep sending ME stuff to increase my penis size to!
I'm starting to worry.
==================
My reply to her:-
Ha ha, he he . That's really funny!
Work it into your act Shaz'. LOL.
( I must do a poem about it!)
================
Shaz's Reply to that:-
That's a good idea! How about this?
Why in my E-mail each day...Does an ad without fail come my way.....
To increase my male girth,When ever since birth,I was raised in the feminine way.
Yes I entered the world...."It's A Girl!"And my folks were so thrilled they would twirl!
Yet these years of late,I get e-mails I hate,To help my "small member" unfurl.
Is there something they heard 'bout my gender,That my organ got caught in a blender?
Well perhaps Mac The Knife,Could help out with Their life
I'll suggest That next time, to the sender.
Shaz to Baz regarding those stupid e-mails that neither of us need.
Jan. 17, 2007
========================
I'm working on the next reply! LOL.
( Wait for the next instalment folks!)
===========================
Replying to Shaz again:-
Send them a snap of you in a bikini!
Perhaps then they would see that you have no"teeniweenies"
The bumps are much higher, i'm told, on a "she" and lower down
considerably...on a "he".
Tee hee.

Barry Watson's Other Poetry
NOW AVAILABLE - Fireside Poetry by Barry Watson
"Barry's...little poetry book 'Fireside poetry' is a must buy" - Rhodalee from New york, USA
Barry's book is here at last - a collection of personal poetry across a broad range of subjects, all seen from Barry's unique perspective. Read the sample poem below, then order your copy without delay!
Sample poem:- "The war in Iraq"
=========================
The war in iraq is currently a bore. People are dying, lying on the floor.
We have tanks and guns and sad mothers and sons.
Bullets and rockets create empty pockets.
Where will it end. Are we round the bend?.
Terror and strife are rife.
When will we EVER learn?.
My conclusion is never.
Humans like to take life. It's a power I guess to make a disturbed mind rest.
Why else would we act this way?
I can't possibly say.
