ODD ODE
FROM PENNY LOVE
When a competition night comes by
The entrants do their best and try
To win a trophy John Parkes brings
By filming extraordinary things.
MISSED AGAIN by DOMINIC
Took me a while for it to ‘click’
That Dad was worried about his daughter
Cos she wasn’t where he was waiting for her.
LOVE IN THE CITY was second on screen
Another look at where we’d been
DOMINIC sets out to make us think
So pay attention and don’t blink.
The third film also came from DOM
Abroad this time is where we’d gone
Colourful dresses the ladies wore
You don’t see those in a PB High Street store.
ANDREW SAUNDERS called his BROWN RUN
Showing where he’d been and what he’d done
Skiing and filming at the same time
Was going back up a very long climb ?
NEW CARPET then from ANDREW we saw
A strange sort of Tarmac from a lorry was poured
To resurface the road in which he lives
Better conditions for the traffic it gives.
UNDER THE SHADOW from ANDREW TWEED
Showed Nepal with its present need
Beautiful buildings and statues there’d been
Then an earthquake, now only rubble is seen.
DEATH WISH next came from THE ‘A’ TEAM
Filming In a cemetery they had been
A husband taking with him money he’d made in life
But he hadn’t allowed for his devious wife.
MEMORY BOXES made for the U3A
A well thought out film from JOHN A
Helping people who have ‘memory loss’
Remember things they thought they’d forgot.
The entrants do their best and try
To win a trophy John Parkes brings
By filming extraordinary things.
