Boggy’s NOT a sailor…….

Boggy is NOT a sailor
He couldn’t navigate around a moat
He’s safest moored in harbour
Where he’s sure he’ll  stay afloat!

Boggy and thoughts of Pitlochrie!

Dear Boggie
My thoughts strayed to you yesterday evening . Just as I put my foot down – leaving the town of Marlow.
Pow the world lit up – that split second of splendour – and that’s when I thought of you and those lovely lanes in Pitlochrie –
Yes I too have benefitted [...]

Boost Boggy’s Coffers Campaign

Broadcast
Dear Mr Marsh
You’re clearly destitute and in need of our unconditional assistance and help. You are obviously desperate for cash – why else were you doing the evening shift yesterday as well as ‘giving your all’ on The early morning watch?

Terry to take over from John Sergeant!!!

Broadcast
So Brucey wants you to be parachuted in to Strictly after the departure of You Know Who!
Well – I for one don’t think your knees are up to it – and those lifts could be the undoing of you.
In My Humble Opinion I think Boggy would be the answer.
A quick [...]

Today is Older Peoples’ day!

Broadcast – (partially!  and not attributed!)
Good Morning you old Veteran
And how will you be celebrating Older Peoples Day today?
I am sure you are one of the many who – according to the BBC – are lonely and Out of Touch! Why else would you feel the need to spend two hours a day in [...]

Boggy’s squeaky rudder

As Boggy’s boat sailed out to sea
It gave a horrid shudder
“Oh No!” Quoth he in a voice quite loud
“I have a squeaky rudder.”
But Lynn rushed up to his aid
“I can fix it – in a timely manner!
I have here a can of special oil
And my trusty wrench and spanner”
So Lynn she dived into the [...]

At last the Great British Menu has paid homage to Boggy!

That wonderful Slate of Food – was a culinary – ‘post-modern’ pictorial masterpiece – of Boggy’s boat on its collision course with the Eddison Lighthouse.
Boggy‘s boat – with its flamboyant yellow flowered sail was the centre piece of the dish,
The Eddison Lighthouse – depicted by the frosty jar of Berry soup
The Blackcurrant mousse [...]

Little poem to Boggy’s shed

The wind it blew, the wind it howled
To Uckfield across from Splott
And Boggy’s Shed cast off it’s moorings
And now it’s landed in OUR garden plot.
It’s upright and still undamaged
And Major Dickie has broken in
He’s perused the contents of this shed
And found films and some gin.
So Boggy come round here at once
And retrieve your rotten shed
You’ve [...]

Boggy stood on his polished deck

Broadcast – but not attributed
Our Boggy stood on the polished deck
His prowess all afire
The snow falling all around him
His masthead white with desire
The harbour walls close for safety
In case he has to swim.
As bailing out is not his forté
His bilges could overwhelm him.

Another ditty to Boggy Marsh’s boat

“To the Sea, To the Sea”
Said our Johnny with glee
“Let’s set sail out into the Ocean”
So with no further word
They both leapt aboard
Pleased with this excellent notion.
But as the boat rolled about
Without a shadow of doubt
Our Johnny felt suddenly green.
And when Janet said “Let’s eat
Here’s a bacon butty for a treat”
John felt more in a [...]
