TA- RA JOEY SMITH(left his grandfather clocks behind)  (December 2009)
There was a lovely budgie,we all called him Joey,
One day in the middle of winter,he went out in the snowey.
He only travelled 50 yards then fell down frozen stiff,
and thank goodness,for this poem,his name was Joey Smith.
People came from miles around for they were very sad,
everyone liked Joey,he was a kindly lad.
Then they went back home again,for some had travelled far,
and the highlight of the evening was, when they said their Ta-Ra.
Some folks said Ta-Ra,Ta-Ra,
and some just said Ta-Ra,
And others said Ta-Ra ,Ta-Ra,Ta-Ra!Ta-Ra! Ta- Ra!
Some folks said Ta-Ra,Ta-Ra,
And some just said Ta-Ra,
and others said Ta-Ra,Ta-Ra,Ta-Ra!Ta-Ra! Ta-Ra!
