There was an Old Plumber called Jon
who was happy to bimble along
he wasnt that bad
but became rather sad
when a mod decided not to ignore him

so off he went
for some time to repent
the fact he was rude
to the forum (not the whole story 🙂 )

But it is sad to say
he beggared his back the next day
and had nothing to do or play

He had the idea
to pop back and appear
as a lame plumber m'dear
with manners and grace on the forum

Having been almost good
it remains to be seen
if this new chap will be deemed
fit to win a ludorum (mystery prize) 🙂

There was a plumber known as Cropp
Who was known to have the odd strop
“I never win a prize”
Were his frequent, sad cries
But never did the penny drop

John’s nemesis was a man called Ray
A fiendish merchant they say
Who knew full well
But would never tell
That the courier DID go that way

Ray liked to tease and torment
Poor Croppie with wicked intent
He’d dangle the bait
Then sit back and wait
For croppie’s tearful lament

The moral of this tale, lads, is clear
If free boilers and gifts you hold dear
Don’t wind up old Ray,
Or live too far away
Or you’ll miss out too, I fear!


Mystery prize entry... 😀

That's pretty good, I've wrote one, but in mine Croppie and Ray are a bit more friendly with each other.....it was the only way I could get it to rhyme

Will see if I can change it, to make more sense.

Ray and gay?
😱
 
there was a lady called Minnie
who wore a particular pinnie
when she bent over
with her hands in the clover
her pinnie stopped masking her...........ooh public forum
 
There once was a man called Ray, competitions, free sweets & prizes was his forte...

Then one day he had a real treat for us all, 5 shiny new boilers for the gas safe amongst us all, many tried, but few will succeed, it turns out these merchant bosses aren't easy to please...

The prize was a great one, the best boilers some say, it turns out theres an alternative to the plastic Bosch way, with only 4 moving parts & a long guarantee, customer satisfaction was a sure thing for me...

My gas safe is proven, I was eliminated before, this is my poem for Intergas galore 🙂

There once was a man called Ray
Oh, he used to love to play
On this forum, he spent his day
Oh, the things he gave away

He had a great big shop
Nearly as big as the Co-op
His best mate was Mr Crop
He loved to throw a strop

Mr Crop, lived far, far away
No deliveries for you said Mr Ray
Not even if you pay
This made Mr Crop bray

He wasn’t all that bad Mr Williams
He’d share some of his millions
With the plumbing forum minions
This is where they shared all their opinions

Ray loved to give away a freebie
Even though it made everyone greedy
They thought it’d be easy
So they all said they were needy

But Ray had a plan
That would make the process span
He wasn’t going to make it quick
He made us watch the clocks go tick

To stop it turning into a great big fight
A poem he made us write
Even though we’re not all that bright
So off we went writing late into the night

The boiler being given away is an Intergas
Apparently top of the class
This is an opportunity that one must not pass
It could save us a load of brass

The boiler came from the land of the Dutch
Parts, it didn’t have much
Only four that moved on this Combi Compact
Now that is a fact

So we all joined the queue
To have a chance at winning this boiler and flue
We all sat there with a brew
Waiting for Ray to reveal his crew…

Whilst fishing today, my thoughts turned to Ray
And the boilers he was dishing out
Then thoughts turned to fear
A computer wasn't near
Could I enter? I really did doubt

No fish for my tea, there's none in the sea
Back up the M5 I did drive
I've just sat down, now in my night gown
Just barely feeling alive

I've been up since 3, my beds calling me
But I'll try and make it all rhyme
The boilers my goal, not another lump of coal
I hope I'm more lucky this time

Boiler draw

Lousy soap, with paper sets
I'm obviously a bit older than you, I'm thinking of the one with Noel Gordon in
And the character Benny

It is a film, 2004, film is dated now but if you like Blues music then worth digging out but not easy to find. PS I`m well into my 50`s lol
