Tally Ho and On We Go

1

Seeds that sew ideas that grow

Much expanding over time

Here's ‘verse one’ I’ve written as

My never-ending rhyme

2

What is it all about you ask

When never-ending is not so

Well that’s the point of writing this

To be unfinished as I go

3

Will it hide a hidden meaning

To be deciphered or assumed

Unravelled like enigma codes

Or just an answer game presumed

4

Five verses here to set you off

Then one a day to help uncover

Each section I have numbered thus

As a mental progress shover

5

As you browse it take your time

From this verse on, the trail commences

Town and country walks on streams

Climbing styles but never fences

6

When travelling on a line of words

 One must keep a few as spare

The pace of pages take down heaps

To leave you slumped in your armchair

7

Great ideas come flashing by

Can disappear in tiresome strings

Hit dead-end drawn out paragraphs

Return dressed up as burrowings

8

So much is quite remarkable

Don’t take so much for granted

For when its gone it won’t be long

As when we all will be supplanted

9

Here’s a big one for the sake of it

Not on any other basis

Survival beats catastrophe

But you won’t know where your place is

10

Hold your ground defy the storm

Build a shelter firm and strong

Let the lightning strike discharge

Only you can sing your song

11

She bought herself a handed watch

Not Left but Right on time

To be sure to keep her promises

When arriving down the line

12

Art emerges from the chaos

It struggles to be known

Deep among the cluttering

Sending messages full blown

13

No early signs of playfulness

The cost of change begins to creep

Regretful silence loudly speaks

Now all they have are tears to weep

14
When the crying times arrive
Where only solace can recover
Stormy seas subside in quiet lea's
With loving memories of each other
15
So tally ho and on we go
Let hope lead us on in strength
We'll not give in to giving in
Astride those weary ways at length
