JAKE THACKRAY - THE HAIR OF THE WIDOW OF BRIDLINGTON [No 1]

I do not profess to be any great hand at writing , and I do not as a rule read poetry , apart from a little McGonagall [whose poetry was so bad , he was once described as " so giftedly bad he backed unwittingly into genius "] now and then .... but , there are artists in the world who may not write Haiku's or Sonnets and yet ...... they are indeed poets , Jake Thackray is one such man . His command of the english language is a pleasure in itself and always reminds me of what can be achieved when one not only puts one's mind to it but does not compromise with the lyrics . I shall be putting one of his songs up everyday for awhile in the hope that he gets a wider recognition from anyone who stops by.
