A Poem From A While Back

Remember this one..........
I TOLD THEM ALL I NEEDED TIME
TO WORK OFF THE BULGARIAN WINE
BEFORE I STARTED ON THE SLOPES
WITH ALL THE OTHER SOBER BLOKES
BUT NO, THEY ALL JUST WOULD INSIST
FOR ME TO SKI WHILST TOTALLY PISSED
HEADING DOWNWARDS AT A MIGHTY RATE
IS SOMETHING THAT I REALLY HATE
BLUES AND GREENS I CAN USUALLY MANAGE
WITHOUT CAUSING MYSELF TOO MUCH DAMAGE
BUT ON THAT SAD AND FATEFUL DAY
I KNEW THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY
FIRST FALL CAME, WHICH MADE ME ...

IS SOMETHING THAT I REALLY HATE
BLUES AND GREENS I CAN USUALLY MANAGE
WITHOUT CAUSING MYSELF TOO MUCH DAMAGE
BUT ON THAT SAD AND FATEFUL DAY
I KNEW THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY
FIRST FALL CAME, WHICH MADE ME CUSS
GETTING OFF THE SKIING BUS
ON MY ASS BEFORE I KNEW IT
BUT STILL CONVINCED THAT I COULD DO IT
OFF I STAGGERED TO THE LIFT
FEELING SURE I HAD THE GIFT
TO SKI THE BLACKS AND BE A STAR
THE FINEST ON THE HILLS BY FAR
ALAS, THE DREAM WAS NO TO BE
CAUSE ALL THE BOOZE AFFECTED ME
BEFORE THE LIFT HAD REACHED THE MIDDLE
I HAD TO HAVE A LITTLE WIDDLE
STOOD UP STRAIGHT AND STARTED PEEING
SPELT MY NAME IN YELLOW WEEING
THOUGHT THAT I WOULD NEVER STOP
BEFORE WE GET OFF AT THE TOP
THEN CAME THE TIME TO LEAVE THE CHAIR
EVEN THOUGH MY ASS WAS BARE
FELL AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME HARDER
LEGS THE SAME AS DOUGLAS BARDER
BUT HELP WAS FAST, SOME BOARDING RIDERS
TOOK ME FOR A DRINK AT SPIDERS
AFTER SHOCK JUST DID THE TRICK
MADE THE WALL SEEM A TINY BRICK
SO AS YOU GUESSED I LOST IT ALL
AND ENDED UP IN HOSPITAL
ASKED THE DOCTOR ON HIS FINDING
TOLD ME THAT I'D BROKE ME BINDINGS
SO NOW I'M HOME AND FEELING SILLY
THAT I HURT MY ARM AND BRUISED MY WILLY
MAYBE NEXT YEAR I WILL LEARN
TO STAY UPRIGHT, AND COMPLETE A TURN
BUT WITH ALL THE DRINKING THAT I DO
I NEED TO TAKE A PORTA LOO
THERE IS NO SKIER WORSE THAN ME
BUT I'M AS HAPPY AS CAN BE
PAMPOROVO PETE THEY'LL ALL BE CALLING
WHEN ASKED WHO IS THAT IDIOT FALLING,
HAVING FUN UNTIL MY STAY
IS OVER TILL ANOTHER DAY
I'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER PLACE
TO PUT A SMILE UPON MY FACE
AS WIDE AS THE ONE I WEAR ALL OVER
WHEN I AM SKIING PAMPOROVO.

re: A Poem From A While Back

Not seen this one then Jon.............

Many.......... many years ago
In a foreign land all white with snow
A man came up with a wonderous thought
as every day through the drifts he fought.
He felled a tree, and then took 2 branches
to help him through the avalanches
Strapped two pieces to his feet
then started skiing down the street.
The townsfolk cheered him every day
as he struggled hard to make his way
But soon they too we're felling trees
to make their very own ...

Many.......... many years ago
In a foreign land all white with snow
A man came up with a wonderous thought

He felled a tree, and then took 2 branches
to help him through the avalanches
Strapped two pieces to his feet
then started skiing down the street.
The townsfolk cheered him every day
as he struggled hard to make his way
But soon they too we're felling trees
to make their very own first skis.
The news then travelled far and wide
of a way to decend the mountainside
And people from the world all over
began to visit Pamporovo
Now all these years have whistled by
and many folk have come to try
This cultured way of having fun
just skiing down a piested run.
But now our sport is not unique
'cause now there is a new technique
Dispel one ski, the young guys roared
and go for it on just one board.
Turning, twisting, flying, jumping
nerves of steel and hearts a pumping
Boarding where no one's been before
defying death.......then back for more
. So as we go....... where the snowclouds fall
spare a thought for the guy who started it all
For had he not invented the ski
what a miserable lot we all would be.
Have fun this year, be it board or ski
and maybe spend some time with me
We share this special winters love
to fly the mountains on the wings of a Dove.
The snow will stay when you depart
but Bulgaria will steal your heart
And never will it give it back,
it broke the day you had to pack
And leave the land that brought such fun,
to you and me and everyone.
So cherish every skiing day,
and enjoy it all in every way,
For be you young or in your prime,
your sure to have a smashing time.
Just keep yor smile a metre wide,
as you frolic in the countryside.
Don't leave Bulgaria with a tear,
just book again and ski next year
Skiing!!!! JUST BECAUSE WE CAN!! PP
