They printed one of my poems in' THE GUN'. YAY!



They missed off the last six verses, NAY!

FOr those of you who thought it sounded a little incomplete, here is the last printed verse, plus the other missing ones!


(I still bloody chuffed though!)









To those of you who like to moan,
“That bike’s built overseas”.
Remember, once we HAD the choice,
but then bought Japanese.

A corner of a foreign field,
two tyres mark the ground.
This Bullet’s made in India,
but can’t mistake that sound.

It doesn't matter where it’s made,
it’s THAT it’s made at all.
A proud part of our heritage,
Of that, we can stand tall.

So “Thank you” Enfield India,
Through good times and through strife.
You’ve worked so hard, and done so well,
to keep Bullet alive.

The oldest mark, the longest run,
trademark ‘Made like a gun’!
For achievement, you should be proud!
Thank you for all you’ve done!

These Bullet bikes are sold here now,
they come in wooden crates,
our proof from Royal Enfield,
of those great and glorious days!

“Whatever could be nicer,
In sunshine or in rain,
Than a Royal Enfield Bullet,
in an english country lane!”.

Hey, THACK,,,



DId you come here before or after I posted the D-Day poem 'service brown'?



I know they say about not blowing your own trumpet, but I don't own one and I think it's my best poem ever. It's got pictures too!

Service Brown
