Louis Jordan - The gorse is in flower....

[Nicky B]

....it must be kissing season (David's lines -not mine!!)

[shadwell smith]

Excellent!

Here's one that's fun -

[David2]

Mmm. Didn't we nearly write a poem to this effect, a couple of competitions ago?

[Nicky B]

Oooops, sorry David, these are absolutely your lines - I thought you'd like this track so I married it with your lines. I loved this couplet of yours. This was my clunky, and possibly misguided, way of saying hello. I'll just to stick "hello" in future.

Is this a faux pas on my part? Would you like me to take this down? Gosh, I'm really sorry if I offended - I'll take it down straight away if you'd prefer. I've edited the first post to make sure due credit is given.

[David2]

Agh, Nicky - not a faux pas at all. I'm not remotely offended, and I wasn't angling for credit! I was just pleased you remembered those lines. (And, to be honest, I suspect they are a well known folkoristic saying, rather than any invention of mine.)

So, in my own inept way, I was saying hello back to you. Hello! Lovely tune, and very nice to see you surfacing again. (Did you see the cunning marine reference there?)

And I do like that track. Haven't had a chance to listen to the Shad's (another one!) yet.

And here's a totally reprehensible addition to the thread (but I love the Crystals) ...

[Nicky B]

Hurrah for inept social weebling on both our parts!

Let the kiss chain continue.......

Shadwell - I have a ridiculous and shameful crush on that track, I was compulsively listening to it for months and nearly ended up divorced!!

David - those lyrics are absolutely appalling, but I'm wondering if they were the inspiration for the modern day version:

[David2]

Florence's hitting and kissing seem much more enlightened, if that is possible. Or at least more equally allocated. I liked that.

The gorse is out.

Pucker up.

[David]

The gorse is out.

Pucker up.

And it smells of coconut.

[Nicky B]

And you can make a rather bizarre cordial with the flowers - think fusty sweet coconuts. Not terribly conducive to kissing. Will be happier once the elderflower arrives, but for now it'll do.

I'm waiting for the meadowsweet cordial....which I botched last year. Damn. Gonna get it right this time.
