Adding poems to 'local poetry' section

I've tried before, with no success, but I'll try again - How do I add poems to 'local poetry' section?

Contact, ron@wiganworld.co.uk

Thanks first mate

There was a young fellow from Gosham
Who pulled out his b*llocks to wash um
His mother said "Jack if you don't put them back
I'll stamp on the buggers and squash em.

There was a young man called Malarny
who went in a pub for a shandy
The bit that he spilt
he wiped up with his kilt
And the barmaid said, Cor thats handy

Oh Jacks, you poor guy. You've gone and done it again! You've started them off again.

Sorry to hear you still haven't managed to get your poetry in the Local Poetry section, but I think First Mate has given you the best advice.

Local poetry by local people.

"The poems are listed in no particular order, new additions will be added at the end of the current list"

That tells us that it's admin who includes them not the member.

That's more than likely. Perhaps they have to be vetted to make sure there's nothing offensive about them. I didn't think a member could just enter them by themselves.

I seem to remember my submission to the Memories section, but that was many years ago, and I can't remember the procedure from back then, but it would have been Brian still monitoring Wigan World.

Sorry Mollie, but what can you do. I only asked for a little help.

When times are hard
and friends are few
you have to paddle
your own canoe,

During Covid lockdown I published my book of poems... titled 'The Bobby at The Top of Wigan!

I read JR's book,

The bobby at top of Wigan.
by jove he had a big un
and if you did not comply
he hit thee as you went by.

Jacks, don't be despondent.

Did you contact Ron as advised by First Mate?

I did Mollie. I sent an email to 'Ron' - whoever he is? Not heard anything back as yet.

Ron is Admin.

Mollie suggested to Jacks today to try and contact Ron.
Jacks tried and tried but for some reason could not find the mon.
He tried an email then a text but found they wud not go.
So for the present Jacks rhymes and odes are still stuck in limbo.

The Phoenix is a poet,
although he didn't know-it,
all full of rhyme and wit.
Quite unlike most Wiganers,
who really are full of .....

...... the contents of pig-styes, muck and mire!

FEAST OF STEPHEN


O' Come all Ye,
O' Come all Ye,
Walk the night on frosted snow,
With the Dancing Bear
And me.

Jarvo's the master
and made out of plaster
some think he's from Platt Waz
But he's from Pem
and worked in Skem
and some thing he is also Baz,,

GLAD


I am glad,
now.

Glad
I took the last train out.

Glad
that whatever went before,

Is,
no more.

And, whatever may come again,
or call me back,

I'll turn
a deaf ear.

All is calm now,
out at sea.

Glad I took time,
to listen

To Me.

Sorry,

Sorry I started

Sorry its finished

But there's another one,

Sorry the end is due

Sorry , what dust say ?

open your ears

and have a nice day,

Tomplum had a pound in his pocket,
so he went for a ride in a rocket,
it took him through space,
flew past Mollie's place,
then dropped him off at the Brocket !

As I was walking to St Ives
I met a man with seven wives.
Every wife was eating a pie,
except the one with the wandering eye
who had a Cornish Pasty.
I asked him,"Sir, are you going to Spain"
he said "no, we're off to catch a train"
"to see the famed spaceman of Poolstock Lane".
"A spaceman"? I asked,
"please tell me more"?
"I'm sorry" he said,
"we've not got time",
"he's taking off at half past nine,
and we don't want to miss him"!

The King of Spain
Was up in his plane
and he flew over Tonkers chateaux
Who's that mon down theer
with a glass of cowd beer
said the King with a displeasing sneer
