I am sorry i barked at you on my other thread SM, i think i had gotten you mixed up with someone who was giving me a hard time on the gym thread, i re read it and you were sticking up for me - i am very sorry. I found this poem...
The man who sold Manhattan for a halfway decent bangle.
He had talks with Adolf Hitler and could see it from his angle,
And he heard the Silver Beatles but he didnt think they'd make it.
So he bought a cake on Pudding LAne and thought "Oh well E'll bake it".
But his chances they were slim
And his brothers they were Grimm,
And he's sorry, very sorry,
but im sorrier than him.
And the drunken plastic surgeon who said "i know, let's enlarge 'em,"
And the bloke who told the Light BRigade "oh what the hell, lets charge 'em,"
The magician with an early evening gig on the Titanic
And the mayor who told the people of atlantis not to panic,
And the Dong about his nose,
And the Pobble re his toes
They're all sorry, very sorry
But I'm sorrier than those.
And don't forget the Bible, with the Sodomites and Judas,
And Onan who discovered something nothing was as rude as,
And anyone who reckoned it was City's year for Wembley,
And the kid who called Napoleon a shortarse in assembly,
And the man who always smiles
Cause he knows i have his files,
They're all sorry, truly sorry
But I'm sorrier by miles
And Robert Falson Scott who lost the race to a norwegian,
And anyone who's ever spilt the pint of a Glaswegian,
Or told a Finn a joke or spent an hour with a Swiss-German,
Or got a mermaid in the sack and found it was a merman,
Or him who smelt a rat,
And got curious as a cat,
They're all sorry, deeply sorry,
But i'm sorrier than that.
All the people who were rubbish when we needed them to do it,
Those whose wires crossed, whose spirit failed, who ballsed it up or blew it,
All nothcers of nul points and all who have a problem Huston,
At least they weren't in Kensington when they should have been at Euston.
For i didnt build the Wall
And i Didnt cause the Fall
But I'm sorry, lord im sorry
I'm the sorriest of all!!
