Call that poetry? Pfffft....



I am a small green man of old age,

Intoxicated to the right stage.

Never getting so drunk,

That I smell like a skunk,

Or end up on the papers front page.


I have two leather pouches I carry,

With coins that will make you contrary.

The silver coin returns,

As most everyone learns

The gold turns to leaves, light and airy.


Oh Mortals, do you think me a fool?

As for my crock of gold, you do drool.

I did bury it so good,

It could be where you stood,

Cause I think your as blind as a mule..


If you catch me, I will guarantee,

A great wealth if allowed to go free.

But you better take care,

I can vanish in air,

And that will be the last you see me.

    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
