memories of west howe

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
