Peter Goulding - 50 not out

Peter Goulding at 50

A lovely fella or so they say

Had a milestone on St Stephens Day

Dutifully follows Shelbourne FC

A rhyming genius for all to see

We had a poetic duel you know

About Ricos hat, long time ago

His quality, out of my depth

But into rhyming battle I leapt

Our rival teams did this invoke

Passions shared, like minded folk,

There’s someone else who’s just like me

Likes League of Ireland and poetry

To me he’s been an inspiration

An expert in self publication

He’ll help and advise all day long

And never ever see you wrong

His poem count now is just scary

Subject matters, complex and varied

I think he writes some in his sleep

Counting poems, no room for sheep

The sands of time pass rather nifty

Last Sunday took him onto fifty

May all who meet him soon emit

That Peter Goulding’s full of wit

My fellow poet Pete Goulding reached 50 on St Stephens Day.
Happy Birthday Pete !!

A Christmas Wish

A Christmas Wish

Summer season brings delights

Balmy July Friday nights

It has been better for our game

There’s things I long for all the same

I miss games on St Stephens Day

Exiles home for holidays

Stand together shoe to shoe

As a freezing wind cuts you in two

Halt time Bovril such a treat

You can no longer feel your feet

Back to the pub, real fire burns

Hot toddy makes your feet return

Post match sessions were sublime

I miss football at Christmas time.

It’s hard to believe its 8 years since our last Christmas game.
Dec 17th 2002.
Cork City defeated Bray Wanderers by 3 goals to 1 with a John O’Flynn hat trick.

This week i'll be mostly listening to...

Back to a semblance of normality this week.
New tune from Crystal Castles with vocals by Robert Smith.



Still loving The Drums.
this is their new single Me and the Moon

This week all i've been listening to...

is Lazytown.

Lazytown Rules my house.
Lazytown Rules my car.

Robbie Rottens evil plans are all that keep me going.
Well he is the Master of Disguise after all.
