Odd Poems A world in verse.

Just relax. No songs in this one. Just the report on Okla City. The motel claims to be in the Okla quarter called Bricktown. It ain’t! No more than the Dagenham is in Chelsea. The motel was OK, but the area was a cross between a scrapyard and a cement works. Still, it was a […] Back on the road, again. Little Rock to Oklahoma. Half the way north through Arkansas, then half the way west through Oklahoma (the state, that is.) For the first part, yOu could say that this is exactly what we are in this State. By a country folk called Pete. We’ve been in Arkansas […] This isn’t one of the Great USA Song Contest blogs. Just a little write up on Little Rock. To be precise – both of them. There is the city of Little Rock and the city of North Little Rock, where our motel was situated. Motel was ok, despite the belief that blankets are unnecessary on […] Tennessee when it rains, is wet. Very wet! We loaded up our car, and hit the freeway. The Parthenon look-alike will have to wait for another time. Nashville may be the heart of country music, but we had a long way to go, and music has little appeal when the sleet is dripping down […] All good things come to an end, and our week in Maggie Valley is over. The accommodation was fine, and we did enjoy our week. High point of the week (in addition to the Cherokee)? Fat Buddies Barbecue in Waynesville. Fantastic ribs and chicken. We took a trip up to Gatlinburg in Tennessee. Like […] In the case of Maggie Valley? Not very! At least, you’ll get a break from the Song Contest! The weather was cold, but sunny. It only snowed once. It might be spring, but there is not a lot of green showing. If it hadn’t been for the golf course, I think that green would be […] I have to admit that the drive from Georgia to North Carolina was not the most exciting part of our holiday, so far. We decide to give Charleston a miss, this time. It is a wonderful city, but we have been there several times, and we were getting a bit worn out after the […] As L and I sit here in a cheap motel in Georgia, the sun is rising, and we are ready to hit the road again – and, no! That is not a clue, mac! These songs are all Georgia based. Most . are easy, even obvious, perhaps. Start thinking … We’ll start with the […] This is day one of our American Trip. Starting off from the Atlantic side of the USA, we will be seeing a lot of America, from ‘sea to shining sea’. I have no doubt that we will also see a lot of ‘America the Dubious’ – or ‘Boring’ – or ‘Miserable’. The real USA, […] Apologies to Rod Stewart fans – this is not the first part of the Great USA Song Contest. I thought that I could cover the travelling, airline, car and other bits, leaving the next free for the contest. After a 5 a.m. start, we had a remarkably trouble free drive to Gatwick airport. Dropped off […] |
