[title] => The Ballad of Nancy McFay
[time] => 2004-07-07 04:56:30
[hometext] => This little ditty is a 'tongue-in-cheek' look at the goings on in a Halifax tavern.
[bodytext] => There's a nice little pub Down in Halifax town Where the lads from the subs Like to party on down And slingin' the beer To all far and near Was a trim little rig From her stern to her sprit And the lads called her Nancy Mcfay She would tack through their midst Like a sleek little barque Slingin' draft right and left Returning broadsides adept In reply to each sailorman's remark Chorus Oh! She was a trim little rig From her stern to her sprit And the lads called her Nancy Mcfay Well they'd offer large tips To wrest a smile from her lips And with practiced aplomb She would wriggle her bum As she scooped up her plunder, Oh, it was great fun dears! Chorus Then she'd let fly her sheets And put her stern to the fleet And beat a hasty retreat To load up her tray. Then, once again cleared for action She'd rejoin the fray Chorus Oh! She was a trim little rig From her stern to her sprit And the lads called her Nancy Mcfay Yes, she was the lovely Nancy Mcfay And although there were lots of 'um Not a lad could proclaim That he'd e'er scraped the bottom Of the trim little Nancy Mcfay Chorus - (Final) - Stoney, 10 Sept. '94 Partying with a bunch of submariners back in the bad old days reminded me of how much fun you can have just sitting in a tavern tiltin' back a few with yer mates! I decided to try my hand at a ballad.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
