Poem If a dark thought enters your mind Imagine there's a switch on top of your head And when you press it A bright light comes on inside you And the corners of your mouth lift up And the Hallelujah Chorus is sung by all who love and ever loved you.

If,like me,you love the old #Lancashire dialect and the stories and songs of yore, there are dozens of old Lancashire books available FREE for downloading on Google Play Books. Brierley, Waugh, Laycock, Harland et al. Search Lancashire or the author's name and they'll all come up.

Ip Dip Dashed

#poem #poetry
Poem. Ip Dip Dashed by Dave Dutton We spoke like eeny meeny miney mo mad folk with our "Ickle Ickle Chocolate Bokkle, Ikkle Okkle Out" When we were “Ip Dip Dashing" about wearing "My Blue Sash" while "Sailing on the water" Like what? "A cup and saucer " saying "Ip Dip Dash" We claimed our names were “Alecampane“ and when asked where we lived it was "down a grid" at Number Cucumber on Pig's Feet Street We drew snakes upon backs. Asked Mister Wolf what time it was. Rolled sideways laughing down hills unheeding spills. But our madness was for living and playing. And delaying the real madness that came when we were much older and IT tapped us on the shoulder Declaring For. I. Say. You. Are. IT.

Worked there for a while. Great times. Met the Sex Pistols when they came to Manchester. But that's another story.

At the checkout just now and I heard a bloke say : "See him? He was married to one o't Dingles." 😂
Week before, someone said: “See him? He wrote Coronation Street “ 😂
My mate said "All of it?"
None of it actually..
