Timetraveller Billums Photograoh & Ode

 Timetraveller Billums Photograph & Ode

 

Today’s Graphic & Ode, may appear at first, as ethereal,
Because they are of transcendental fun, laugh if you will...
Fail to see the humour at your own peril...
Surreal, Barmy, Improvisational... but not topical...
Try to follow the flow, even when maniacal...
A little like Spike Milligan penning’s, abstractly?

 

Bill couldn’t afford any, so made his own nitroglycerine...

All ingredients were vegan, everything green...

This machine was his house... the job was Herculean!

With help from the lad with electrics, that was Alan.

 

Support from HRH, we call her that cause she’s a Queen...

She made sure things were going, cooker, bath, the big tureen…

Cause with time travel, you never know how long you’ve been...

Future, backwards… there’s no windscreen!

 

Our moniker for HRH, is Lisa-Petal, she’s just over eighteen,

She pretends to be older, she’s a real dream!

Insists on getting presents back home, Bless the pretty teen...

Always treats folks, when and wherever they’ve been!

 

Took a photograph, he says they saw Dr Who, and the Tardis…

He showed them how to make his house not seen, vanish!

That’s why he went time-travelling in his own Tardis.

Bigger on the inside, see? So took HRH, his biggest wish!

 

What sweet folk, the even took along the furries,

Plenty of toilet roll to... Bliss!

One of the things I noticed, they’d acquired,

Was a Dalek, see it at the back with the packages?

There’s a Nottingham lad, hoping to be hired...

 

They returned with presents for friends and family...

And an automatic tyre, own engine, can you see?

Not sure who that’s for. But rather hope it’ll be me!

Alan can add stabilisers, I’ll be mobile again, Whee!

 

I’m looking forward to Bill’s Time Travel 105th Report.

He should post it on Facebook, he really ought...

But folks won’t believe him, and give a chort...

Billum; Time Travelling, what a clever sport!

Soon, the doubters a lesson will be taught!

 

Here's the Photograph

Nottingham Memories

Tales Of Nottingham Series

As recalled by Geriatric Gerry 

This Issue: 2019

These're of a visit by Gerry, and ride on the Nottingham Wheel, in the Slab Square, in the City Centre.  

(Those were the days!)



















The above, were taken in the cage on the wheel. Gerry was in his eye-holes taking these. He almost got excited!

  

His spritits dropped a smidgeon when they had get staff to help hime get back down the steps afterwards! He then went on a hobble around taking snaps for posterity.


He's forgot where this was... Tsk! Ah, he's got it now... Upper Parliament Street and the top of Market Street.


Bridlesmith Gate


Limping up Market Street


Chapel Bar


Victoria Centre, Upper Parliament Street


Erm, err... maybe... or... HELP!


Carrington Street?


Maid Marion Way?


End of Wheeler Gate


Upper Parliament Street


Nottingham Wheel from Long Row.


Nottingham Slab Square - South Parade



Nottingham Wheel from below - the same people had to get Gerry back up on his feet, that had to get him down the stairs. The old fool went up on the wheel again, the staff assisted him up the steps and into the cage...

He took the following snaps from the viewing cage
















 

As the ride stopped, three men were there this time, waiting for old man. And embarrassingly carried him down to the ground level, on Slab Square!

This was the day, that he realised his daily marathon walks were over, finito, done with, and he nearly cried. Hahaha!




He hobbled along Clinton Stree East

Unfortunately...

The lady in the last photograph knocked the camera out of his grasp, RIP to beloved Canon.
