    Default Notes on a small town

    Well I came man to London town
    All day long I looked up and down
    Lots of people all in a hurry
    Never saw such a flap and a flurry
    Some white people too....so they said.


    Well I stood on the corner playing spotthe 'Pom'
    But not too many came along
    Saw some men in gowns long and white
    Just like my gran' pappy wore at night
    Some in black with just their eyes
    Are they the terrorists in disguise?


    Sat on the bus but so absurd
    Not an English voice was heard
    Looked around for some one white
    But then got such a terrible fright
    Not a white face for me to see
    Just black as night oh please save me


    Gone are the Cockneys who lived in thistown
    Replaced by the men in a funny gown
    The language now is strange to hear
    No English voice comes any where near
    They sit on the sidewalk with the funnypipe
    Smoking some stuff that makes them ripe


    The restaurants that we once used
    Replaced by Kebabs and funny stews
    Gone is the town that once was home
    Now looking more like a worn out crone
    Full of very odd people not a bit likeme
    Came to here from over the sea


    Taken up root and the shops as well
    The poor old Brit has come to hell
    No more do I know this city
    And for me that is such a pity
    But the day has come which we thoughtit might
    When black has taken what once waswhite


    So now I must leave this sad old town
    To return to the one I now call my own
    A place where I can still find a man
    Who does not need a gun in his hand
    I sit and I wonder just how how longit will be
    Before all the English say this is nomore for me.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Oh John I do hope this is pure BS as I am off to visit the family in the "old dart " in October . They all live in Surrey so , fingers crossed some of my old mum's values still exist down there .

    HD, John,
    That is exactly what it has become where I live in Boltonistan.
    that poem says it all.

    What happened to my England. Gone forever. All those lives Sacrificed in War to save England and for what, a New kind of Invader.
    All politicians should be hung from Lamp posts for the disgraceful way they have destroyed our once great Nation

    Neil, some of the country areas are not so bad but most of the capital cities are like this.
    My sister lives in East Grimstead West Sussex and they are now there in numbers.

    Bugger ! Maybe I should bring them all out here . Although I doubt they would come . Our mother was a capital "L" liberal with a live and let live attitude which she instilled in my sister and I . So I guess they are all muddling through ; I will find out come October .

    if it was the wild west and the natives were on the warpath, certain rellies would warn of any danger ?

    Neil, if you get ot LOndon and I am sure you will, then go to Marble Arch and take a bus up along Edgware Road. Get off at Clifton Rise and walk back to the fly over. The you will see the new London. This part is like so many others now, completely taken over by those from over the seas.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
