YBW Clique

Now sometime you may post on here
To raise a laugh or shed a tear
Then you find there’s no response
It makes you feel a proper dunce
You try to stand out on the board
But find instead that you’re ignored
It’s not because you’re dull or thick
It’s cos you haven’t joined a clique

Now cliques they come in many forms
Friends who you moor with are the norm
or YBW forum will provide
A varied choice that you can try
It`s hard to know which is the best
Or what stands out above the rest
So have a look and take your pick
And then enjoy your chosen clique

The liveaboard clique unfurl
their flags in ports around the world…
They live the dream. Or so they say
and brave all weathers come what may
To find cheap mooring where they roam
And book cheap flights to get erm home
You want adventure?. with some strife?
go join their clique ..an live the life.

Down on the Thames there’s discontent
Poor service cos the money’s spent
You can`t moor up…. there is no hope
the space is full of narrow boat
Though some are OK.. that’s for sure
it`s just that they don’t want no more
and narrowboats must take some stick,
but that’s cos they`re not in the clique…

But then if you love all things wood
the classic clique you will find good
From Burnham Scows to fiddle rails
from things to do… to where to sail
Anything that’s old and worn
comes back to life and is reborn
Pictures set against the sky..
of amazing boats that never die.

The New Boat clique on here is where
It helps to be a millionaire
But if you’re not then never mind
just join the clique and you will find
that you can share the hopes and fears
of someone wet behind the ears….
Yes.. all the fun of buying a boat
and it doesn’t have to cost you nowt…

Now take that lot that’s from North Wales
they come along with many tales
They take the Swellies in their stride
And in their boats they take a pride…
They BBQ and never sleep
and save each other from the deep
They` scared of nothing, hail or fog
not even an exploding bog…

…………

You say this clique stuff`s not for you
you`re on your own in what you do
And that this ditty is all wrong
and to a clique you don`t belong…
that’s what you think.?.well that’s just fine
But don`t forget the bottom line…….

If you like boats….. large or small..
you’re in the biggest clique of all…..

Re: YBW Clique

Uncle Albert you'r a Star
Although Your Post I read from afar.
I think your poetry is tricky
It's made my keybord go clicky clicky

In answer to your belting post
I like your ref to North Wales the most
Cliche Cliche it is up here.
Pop in sometime if You are near

Cliche Cliche We speak to spokes
As peeps round ere often Jokes
The Swellies runs fast and torrid
To strangers it looks really horrid

But welcoming souls that we are
We even love a confused Major
Catastrophe when He first turned up
But now He's on the up up

Up to now His fishing skills are lacking
To catch a bass the Locals aren.t backing
Fair play He's well in our Local Clique
On Him We may still play a Trick

Oh what a treat to scan through you effort
Sometimes words escape Me, Yes it's true
That Cliques for peeps like Me and You
Daft plonkers but we need One too

Many Cliques spoil the Broth?
The Liverboards the Thames You mention
Those that buy, 'How Much'? no mention
Those that refurb with the best Intention

Yer right U Albert you always are.
I like Your Post from afar
As far I know You could be kidding
But heck we like some gibbing

And gybing these Raggies do
Yer head in but we love em too
Occasionally the Scuttlebuts--, Who?
Dunno they are a funny Clique
But that's what makes the Forum tick

OFF which Clique you are in
Sno good yer in one yer can't 'win
Some lose some' You is right
Snuff dopey stuff from Me Tonight

Is it time to dump BM. After to many nasty replies to very innocent posts. Yep I seem to remember he's ill. But not an excuse for turning a very innocuous and fun post into a nasty ageda. Yep, folk dont like him, any wonder.

Oh dear. What has this man done to deserve this. I am led to believe he is a really nice bloke, despite his mishaps.
