Angela Wybrow - Poems Poetry Series Angela Wybrow - poems - Publication Date: 2015 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Angela Wybrow() I now live in Hampshire, UK. I have been writing poetry on and off for many years and really enjoy it. I love writing about a variety of topics and am hoping that there's something for everyone. My first collection of work, entitled 'Through My Eyes' is now available, published by United Press at the price of £3.99 plus P&P. If you would like a copy, please contact me via my Facebook page (Angela Wybrow - Writer) . I have a Facebook page dedicated to my poetry - so please 'Like' me on Facebook! www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 1 (un) Evensong I just spied a drunk man up by our church; Along the pavement, he unsteadily lurched. It was early evening (about half past six) : Of alcohol, he’d no doubt had a sizeable fix. A battered blue bicycle, he wheeled by his side – That battered blue bicycle, I prayed he’d not ride. Upon a wooden bench, he sat himself down, Then, from out of his mouth, came a terrible sound. I guessed that the sound was supposed to be a song, But the words were all garbled and the tune all wrong. His musical accompaniment was his bicycle bell – What song he sang, I was quite unable to tell. I doubted he’d be on The X-Factor anytime soon, As he sat on his bench beneath a crescent-shaped moon. On the opposite side of the road, I very sensibly stayed, But a smile graced my lips as I went on my way. Angela Wybrow www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 2 A 'Brand New' You Stood, browsing, in a bookshop, I heard someone call my name; I recognised the person, but, somehow, she didn’t seem the same. Apart from the fact that, she had changed the colour of her hair, It was almost like looking at a whole new person, standing there. She told me that, for our old company, she worked no longer. Her spirit seemed enthused; her soul appeared much stronger. Around her, glowed a much brighter and more positive aura; Obviously, a change of scenery has done an awful lot for her. I saw new maturity and wisdom in her pretty, youthful face. I think, within her life’s journey, she’s now in a better place. I almost couldn’t believe it was the same girl, stood before my eyes; That she had changed so much, in such a short time, I felt surprised. She seemed happier, healthier; her face was all aglow; Very different from the young girl, who I used to know. I can’t quite remember exactly when I saw her last, But I’d say that, about twelve months have passed. I think, once you are finally free from a depressive atmosphere, You feel far more relaxed, and your heavy heart, fills with cheer. It’s almost as if her whole personality, had been wrapped in tape, But from those oppressive restraints, she has managed to escape. Angela Wybrow www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 3 A Dog's Diet Against my will, I've been put on a diet, But it is a fact which I'd rather keep quiet; The more that people remain unaware, Their food with me, they will happily share. About this news, I am less than impressed: In fact, it's left me feeling pretty depressed. My situation has shaken me right to my core: Against these diets, there should be a law! I just love eating food; I adore all sorts; Food is a subject never far from my thoughts. I'm now given one biscuit - I used to have two, And now I only have half of a doggie rice chew. I keep being told that I need to get thinner; That I can't have a treat, as I've just had my dinner. On packets, I've spied the term ‘weight controlled': A term which makes my blood run quite cold. Next to the table, I patiently wait, Hoping for some food from the plate. But it's not as forthcoming as it was before: For me, this diet is becoming a really big bore. The vet has assessed the weight I've put on, And the extra pounds, she clearly wants gone. With the vet, I will soon have a date, To discover if I have lost any weight. With my weight, I am far from obsessed, And I really do wish they'd give this diet a rest. Surely this diet won't go on for ever? At this rate, I'll end up as light as a feather! Smaller portions are being put in my bowl, And this will continue until I've reached the goal. I suppose it could be good to reach the goal, As then I can return to my portions of old! www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 4 Angela Wybrow www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 5 A Golden Moon (Olympic Poem) Tonight, over Great Britain, there's a golden moon, As, over our Olympic athletes, we proudly swoon. Between them all, they won plenty of medals, Particularly those, whose power needs pedals. We saw faces streaming with tears of pride; We saw faces beaming with smiles, so wide. Our Team GB athletes are the toast of our nation, And they have helped to inspire a new generation. All of our athletes, competing on home turf, Showcased their skills and showed their worth. They performed with great energy and with zest; Many proving that they are the World's very best. Each of them gave it their all, and they did us proud; They were cheered on their way by an eager crowd. They showed us that now was their moment to shine, And up the medals table, our team quickly climbed. They all felt a great sense of pride within their heart, And they all felt honoured to have played their part. Many personal bests and new world records were set. The Olympic Games of 2012, we will never forget. Angela Wybrow www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 6 A Headful Of Thoughts I'm lying here, wide awake Trying hard to get some sleep; But my brain is totally buzzing, So it's useless counting sheep! My mind is manically racing, Thinking of words and ideas; I think of the sad poem that I just wrote, And my eyes suddenly fill up with tears. I need to get some sleep, As I'm actually pretty tired; But my brain is so alive: Like, it's been electrically wired! Many times, I've had new thoughts, And jumped out of my cosy bed, To quickly grab a pen and paper, And jot them down before they leave my head. Is this a common problem, Which all writers share? Do they, too, wake up the next day Feeling a little worse for wear? Angela Wybrow www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 7 A Magical Moment It is over twenty-five years ago, Since this lady performed a live show: Way back then, she was one of four, Topping the charts with hit songs galore. She watches in the wings, waiting her turn: Within her heart, she feels a little concern. Waiting onstage is her partner in crime: There’s no turning back: now is the time. As the intro is played, the crowd go wild, And from her co-star, she receives a smile; His welcoming gesture, gentlemanly and gracious, Beckons her forwards onto the stage so spacious. Wearing long boots and a black lacy dress, She makes her entrance – now for her test; She walks onstage to thousands of cheers: Her face says ‘I can’t believe that I’m here.’ The spotlight follows her every move - Her nerves, her co-star hopes he can soothe. She takes a bow, then, with outstretched hand, She takes a moment to acknowledge the band. He sings, ‘Can’t believe it’s really you.’ Neither can believe that it’s really true. She smiles at him, as she sings a line in reply, And suddenly a spark ignites within her eyes. His silent language keeps urging her on, And, very soon, her nerves are all gone; She then, very visibly, begins to relax, And her old star quality comes flooding back. Despite the fact that it has been an age, She is soon feeling confident upon the stage. The two singers are so amazing together - The magic of this moment will last forever. www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 8 At the end of the song, they thank everyone; Both of the singers have had so much fun. Having made her comeback singing a duet, For more live performances, she is now set. Angela Wybrow www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 9 A Nation Celebrates Boats take to the Thames to honour the Queen: The most craft, at any one time, the river has seen. On to the trains, thousands of people cram. On the roads, there are massive traffic jams. People pack in to pubs to consume a few beers: There is much merriment, and calls of ‘cheers! ' People are attending parties in their streets: Long tables are laden with tasty treats to eat. In towns, shops windows are patriotically dressed. Across the nation, people put on their Sunday best. Everywhere that you look is brightly festooned With flags, bunting, streamers, and party balloons.

  • E-Petition Session: TV Licensing, HC 1233
    Petitions Committee Oral evidence: E-petition session: TV Licensing, HC 1233 Monday 1 March 2021 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 1 March 2021. Watch the meeting Members present: Catherine McKinnell (Chair); Tonia Antoniazzi; Jonathan Gullis. Other Members present: Rosie Cooper; Damian Collins; Gill Furniss; Gareth Bacon; Jamie Stone; Ben Bradley; Tahir Ali; Brendan Clarke-Smith; Allan Dorans; Virginia Crosbie; Mr Gregory Campbell; Simon Jupp; Jeff Smith; Huw Merriman; Chris Bryant; Mark Eastwood; Ian Paisley; John Nicolson; Chris Matheson; Rt Hon Mr John Whittingdale OBE, Minister for Media and Data. Questions 1-21 Chair: Thank you all for joining us today. Today’s e-petition session has been scheduled to give Members from across the House an opportunity to discuss TV licensing. Sessions like this would normally take place in Westminster Hall, but due to the suspension of sittings, we have started holding these sessions as an alternative way to consider the issues raised by petitions and present these to Government. We have received more requests to take part than could be accommodated in the 90 minutes that we are able to schedule today. Even with a short speech limit for Back- Bench contributions, it shows just how important this issue is to Members right across the House. I am pleased to be holding this session virtually, and it means that Members who are shielding or self-isolating, and who are unable to take part in Westminster Hall debates, are able to participate. I am also pleased that we have Front-Bench speakers and that we have the Minister attending to respond to the debate today.

  • The Future of The
    The Future of Public Service Broadcasting Some thoughts Stephen Fry Before I can even think to presume to dare to begin to expatiate on what sort of an organism I think the British Broadcasting Corporation should be, where I think the BBC should be going, how I think it and other British networks should be funded, what sort of programmes it should make, develop and screen and what range of pastries should be made available in its cafés and how much to the last penny it should pay its talent, before any of that, I ought I think in justice to run around the games field a couple of times puffing out a kind of “The BBC and Me” mini‐biography, for like many of my age, weight and shoe size, the BBC is deeply stitched into my being and it is important for me as well as for you, to understand just how much. Only then can we judge the sense, value or otherwise of my thoughts. It all began with sitting under my mother’s chair aged two as she (teaching history at the time) marked essays. It was then that the Archers theme tune first penetrated my brain, never to leave. The voices of Franklin Engelman going Down Your Way, the women of the Petticoat Line, the panellists of Twenty Questions, Many A Slip, My Word and My Music, all these solid middle class Radio 4 (or rather Home Service at first) personalities populated my world. As I visited other people’s houses and, aged seven by now, took my own solid state transistor radio off to boarding school with me, I was made aware of The Light Programme, now Radio 2, and Sparky’s Magic Piano, Puff the Magic Dragon and Nelly the Elephant, I also began a lifelong devotion to radio comedy as Round The Horne, The Clitheroe Kid, I’m Sorry I’ll Read That Again, Just A Minute, The Men from The Ministry and Week Ending all made themselves known to me.

  • 2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday
    Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

  • GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. As performed in principal recordings (or demos) by or with Gram Parsons or, in the case of Gram Parsons compositions, performed by others. Gram often varied, adapted or altered the lyrics to non-Parsons compositions; those listed here are as sung by him. Gram’s birth name was Ingram Cecil Connor III. However, ‘Gram Parsons’ is used throughout this document. Following his father’s suicide, Gram’s mother Avis subsequently married Robert Parsons, whose surname Gram adopted. Born Ingram Cecil Connor III, 5th November 1946 - 19th September 1973 and credited as being the founder of modern ‘country-rock’, Gram Parsons was hugely influenced by The Everly Brothers and included a number of their songs in his live and recorded repertoire – most famously ‘Love Hurts’, a truly wonderful rendition with a young Emmylou Harris. He also recorded ‘Brand New Heartache’ and ‘Sleepless Nights’ – also the title of a posthumous album – and very early, in 1967, ‘When Will I Be Loved’. Many would attest that ‘country-rock’ kicked off with The Everly Brothers, and in the late sixties the album Roots was a key and acknowledged influence, but that is not to deny Parsons huge role in developing it. Gram Parsons is best known for his work within the country genre but he also mixed blues, folk, and rock to create what he called “Cosmic American Music”. While he was alive, Gram Parsons was a cult figure that never sold many records but influenced countless fellow musicians, from the Rolling Stones to The Byrds.
