"Inside jokes" and the expression "you'd have had to been there" often leave the outsider feeling just like that - an OUTSIDER. I want to roll with the writer of this whimsical piece of homage to (no doubt) a well deserved friend. But I'm left as such an outsider to the references that I would have had to have been there.
Till the last amen

Sorry about that if you are a new comer to FS that probably applies as to what you have said. If you get to know Michael Cahill you will relate better to the "jokularity" as Father Mucahy on MASH used to say. Michael Cahill and I have so much in common even being from opposite sides of the world and all that.Thanks for coming by. I am humbled at the response from my fellow FanStorians.

Comment from Delahay
I will now definitely have to look up Michaels' profile. He sounds like a real character if your description is accurate. You should definitely apologize for the roem though.
I do know that a haddock is a fish and I think we have them here in the 'states'. I've heard of the expression 'by krikey'. Anyone who ever saw 'The Crocodile Hunter' has heard that expression. But please do not call us all 'yankees'. In some areas of the U.S. that is an insult.
A southern dignitary was once in a country where Americans were not exactly welcome. Protesters were carrying signs that said "Yankees go home". His host apologized for the sentiments of his countrymen. The Southerner replied, "That's alright son. Where I come from we don't like them either."

Hi Mary MIkey and I both go off on Tangents that is where the roem came in (to rhyme with poem in this instance ok. Mikey will not be offended he and I go back a long way I first met him when I started at FS just on a year ago. Hey I bin around Yankees and Rebels and Coon asses and Rednecks from your coon try for years ok! Mikey and I are from the same era almost the same age as well. A lot of Australians don't like Americans either I know my inlaws are not particularly enamoured with em but they have their own peculiarities anyway. Appreciate you coming by.
-
Ah, but roam would have worked as well. But of course it would not have been the same thing. Yes we all have our idiosyncraties.
-
B.t.w. my husband is part Coonass. :)
-
Hehe Good onya mate ! I had to ask my wife about the Crocodiule Hunter. I got mixed up with Crocodile Dundee (paul Hogan) who is still very much alive. Croc Hunter was Malcolm something will look him up. The Coon ass's are a relatively new acquaintance of mine. Knew about the Rednecks and all that haha. I have some redneck pictures if interested. Send me an e-mail. Your review has stirred up another poem so stay tuned hehe. Thanks for "_'fessing up" to the Coon ass connections ha!
-
About Haddock someone from New York State said they had them there so probably imported from Britain methinks but then we are all; imported from Britain ha or Ireland or??
-
Imported or deported?
-
How true ha! I had thought for a while we were descended from free settlers in Aussie but my sister has come up with a convict connection in our ancestry ho hum!
-
Hey I saw a genuine typo in one of my responses to you and I did not do that deliberately...hehe "coon try"
-
I thought that was intentional.
-
And Steve Erwin was the Crocodile Hunter.

Comment from Selina Stambi
Yes, Mikey tends to 'roem' doesn't he? :)
I bet he's tickled pink, Geoff! What a great, lighthearted tribute, so well fitting to his personality and yours.
Hope you're well.

Comment from gypsycaravan
This is a clever little verse about one of our own here on FanStory. Does he really get cranky? Surely he would give you a top-notch review on this poem. Must go to his profile and read and learn of the suggestions, to which you speak. Thanks for posting.

Hi Sankey, I enjoyed your tribute to the goodness of Mikey. Quite a humorous poem for our author/poet. I don't think he's ever stepped into my portfolio. However, I did catch his lament on the FS reviews. I enjoyed your poem. luv jada

Comment from Sanku
This is a very interesting work which you have written in praise of Michael Cahill. I have read his poems and they are very nice .i liked the form you have chosen and the the bit of tweaking you did with the spellings.
please forgive me for writing this PJ which we as children you used to laugh silly.
A man had two children -Mikey and Karkey. One day he came out of his apartments and realized that he had for gotten his car key. So he hollered out to his wife -"Darling throw my key " So the darling picked up and threw down Mikey and the the husband shouted at her "not Mikey ,my car key ! and she promptly threw down Karkee!!! This is one of the many stupid PJs(poor jokes) that men make up about stupid women (somethiing on the same lines of blonde jokes.-Have a nice day!!

hey I loved it thanks for that! Nice to meet you. Have met so many new folks in FS over this crazy poem I a=have written in honour of our dear Mikey Michael Cahill. Dunno when I will get to look at your stuff will do my best to get around to all the lovely reviewers I have had over the last couple of days. I am guessing yours may have taken us to the big 25 reviews I guess I will find out soon! Cheers.

Thanks new friend. I don't hink we have met before and no I wrote this and he did not suggest it. It has grown like topsy started off as one verse but me and another reviewer agreed it needed more and so I did. FS has provided the Editing error near his pet ok!

I've been with FS for ten years but sometimes I'm gone for a while but I always come back. I write in Spanish as well. English is my second language. Have a nice week.

Hi mate I just did what Tom suggested and have re posted hopefully minus the A thing. Thanks for coming by.

Sankey, (UpsetÃ? his pets) I think this happens when you transfer your work from your laptop to FanStory. Anyway, your poem is most interesting and the photo work is perfect. Carole
