"KATE"
There is a lady called Kate
Whom I know very little to date
She flails her arms and shows her palms
But never really gets in a state.
On an evening she gathers her flock
To hopefully sing, sometimes rock
There's ample time talking
With very little squawking
But rarely seems to go off half cock.
Standing in front of the masculine stare
She does a fair job I declare
When an inharmonious chord
She offers prayers to The Lord
Who encourages her not to despair.
Behold there's a shaft of light
When she considers her plight
It is never denied
Ten long years she has tried
At least some expansion in sight.
Give note to the musical score
Sing flowingly she'll readily implore
Kate's full of zest
And tries her best
With that, choir voices should soar.

A Couple of confessions:
Vic Robinson admitted that the second basses nearly came in at the right place during Morte Christe!
Brian Brumfitt confessed "We've (tops) never sung that before", part practice of The lord's Prayer!
Marvelous Mag's Musical Quips
"I'm glad I'm not singing that"
As Kate said, Margaret,
"So are We!"
Kate's Compliments

I really like what you are singing - I like it but it
isn't right! 2nd base feeble attempt at New York, New York !
That's much better now I can't see you! This was during some very strange attempts at choreography, but hey we are strange!
Beautifully Average! Just a general comment on our singing as a choir!
It's only the tops that come in late There was me thinking it was only Paul Trow that comes in late - must be catching!

Alan Iles is still awaiting the hospital to tell him how succesful his recent operation on his hand has gone. We wish him all the best, although I heard a rumour that this hasn't hampered his talent for telling, shall we say, risque jokes!
It was lovely to see Eric Wheatcroft at The Pastures. As you all know Eric is having a tough time at the moment with his illness. We at the Choir wish you all the very best.
