Keith's Ramblings

.

;

 I found someone to sing it to you!

.

I wish I was a cherry

Red and glossy like you

Or perhaps a raspberry

Strawberries are pretty too

‘

Just look at me, I’m ugly

Always the odd one out

I’m plain and green and hairy

A gooseberry, a worthless lout

    😅I just love love this song Keith and I don’t mind you being green and hairy – as long as you’re a gooseberry- I love ‘em! 💚

      I’ll tell it you said so!

      Interested to know what you make of the sing-song version, it’s the first time I’ve used the Suno song creator!

        My bad! I should have mentioned your song. Suno is an amazing app and the song you created is excellent! I wasn’t expecting a hard-hitting rock song about the gooseberry but you nailed it!

        I’ve only just found it, it’s so clever. I had 10 completely different versions to choose from!

    So the Bible warns us, “Comparing yourselves among yourselves, ye are not wise.” Still, we do it all the time.

    They may be ugly, but they sure can write

    Now… I do not usually take the time to listen as well as read but your note to Nancy made me change my mind.
    The poem by itself is one thing but that song! How fun are you?
    And you know, each pot has its lid… I am sure there is someone(thing) for the poor Gooseberry!

      Thanks for doing something you don’t normally do, Dale! Hopefully his hopes won’t be pie in the sky.

    Awww, but gooseberries have their place, they’re certainly not worthless. Fun story and song.
