 the gypsy poet

gypsies in clover























Crimson~and~Clover








SultryRose's Signatures




Miles away from nowhere
at the back of way beyond
i met a band of gypsy folk
travelling was their bond

down in the hollows valley
where commons stretched the land
twas up near high top common
where gypsies lived so grand

down near cuckoo bottom
not from from monkeys hump
across the hill from knottys
old man trents big dump

you could see it on the Manning's
where the chimney tall did stand
across from granters farm house
with pullets oh so grand

the cockerels crowed each morning
where Arnold's tied their horses
where Betty made daisy chains
where the brickyard was so red and high
where the gaffer wore watch chain

not far from shoulder mutton
where john did sketch n paint
nude models in his studio
for just a penny rent

across from alderney hospital
along the ringwood road
where whites stored his pipes
where little Truth remains

old sankey had the clay pits
where Rogers worked each day
sweating in the ovens
covered in brown clay

the gypsies roamed the heathers
where lady guest was rarely seen
twas all a Sweet memory
when Victoria was queen
