 the gypsy poet

west Howe days



















 Buddy's






SultryRose's Signatures






the Arnold's boys kept ponies on the heath
where grass grew course and lads cut teeth
the Taylor's and the Bennett's crew
all grew up in this place near Poole

the co op grounds were rare and green
where trees cast blossoms and twas delight a splendid scene
where Sherwood's and Williams did frequent
where all the west Howe residents paid fair rent

here once the gypsies roamed the heaths
where landlord guest allowed fair game
with rabbits and foxes down Poole lane
did haunt the heather and birch along with john Augustus fame

here mush and zunner ran so free
with dartford warblers trills within each tree
where sand lizards and adder did reside
amongst the ferns and gypsy brides

the broom did glisten in the sun
with scented furze and lanes to run
where Thompson's and Cole's and dubbens too
told their tales to Waterloo

the playground spills and towers tall
with ropes and tackle to save your falls
with bang of hammering every day
to build a playground each holiday

i hear the laughter and joys of play
ring out across the heaths today
the children's fun and thrills galore
the pace of life within those walls
