POEM FOR PORTY

Prolific poster and Springsteen fan,
Wind-up merchant and business man.
Always eloquent without profanity,
Never questioning the moderators' sanity.
A pink-shirted expert on Friday night frolics,
Brickies, plumbers and economics,
Coffee, cats and scrambled egg,
Not to mention David Begg.
Our cycling hero going for gold,
A lycra-clad wonder to behold.
A marathon man (or so you claim),
A star in the POL Hall of Fame.
A year ago you joined our ranks
and for that day we all give thanks.
You outposted most in a matter of weeks,
Entertaining us all with your critiques.
And so dear Porty congrats to you,
For without you now what would we do?

Well done Marya =D>

I hadn't realised that Porty had only been a POLer for such a (relatively) short time. I thought he had been around forever :lol:

Happy anniversary Porty :lol:

How DARE you, teddygirl, suggest that I would ever be seen consorting with those two reprobates!!! :shock:

It was e p y k a t, but keep it quiet and don't tell anyone else - we would not want to ruin her reputation? :wink:

I might have known it would be her, she doesn't need much leading astray that one :wink:

By the way Epykat, were you at Ingliston at the week-end ? If so we will have to compare notes. You always get a bigger one than me :cry:

Thanks for the plaudits everyone. I owe it all to an early exposure to Pam Ayres
