looking through the archives of posts, i think ambrose should be considered the bard of swaylocks.some kinda wordsmith is he…!
…as long as you don’t spell it backwards
gotcha! i don’t think anything(that i can recall) past or present by ambrose has been drab…but then again, he may have an off day at some point…donde esta ambrose?
nah ,
it was just my aussie attempt at humour [yoomer] …
that’s how i took it-all in good fun mate!
Ambrose=resident shakespeare
Chipfish61=resident fin freak
Thrailkill=resident person who’s been shaping longest (Maybe, I’m not sure on this one, since 58, you’d have to try real hard to beat that!)
Sorry, when I first saw the title of this post I thought it was “The bride of Swaylocks*”
*Apologies to Mike’s better half…

AS OYE ERD a CAL L TO ARMS?
to para quip a letter I posted this morning
I figure a rhyme I must share:
blanks dont go bad
if they were bad to begin with
they just cured and got better
how many?
e-bay em ?
are they clarks?
are the Identifiable ?
fourty years old can that be documented?
first identifying then testing ,shape and glass one ,
by a ''classic shaper ‘’
will solidify the sales value
pictures of the stencil on the blanx ,if clark will establish the age
pretty accurrately
hmmmmmmm
interesting…
establishing price ,like gemstones 'is on the open forum
what ever some one will pay
can you take one to some place like surfing heritage museum?
expert opinions fly about
at places like that like
small birds in a popular wire
or like drunx at a beach fire
try and you may be able to set the spirit of these blanx frreeeee
to indulge the senses with the verve for life
from whence they came…
is ther a cabell 10’1’’
…ambrose…
AS i have done befo
I have posted a pm ont
Topique of an ancient cashe of blanx
further info privvy to a small few
yet would these blanx be pleased
to see a world view
what could be the outcome?
would the answers of the ages be undone?
and revealed to unborn children
on the ocean that suspends us as one
surface tension is our gift
that we spend suspended
twixt water and air
shedding the world
as droplets
like we don’t care
mingling tears
with fears
not keeping score
when we go for one more…
tomorrow
another oppertunity
to be embraced by the ocean that loves us.
children we are of the worlds greatest mother.
as to the title of bard
may we consider
the debt I owe to
the real
Black Bart
who wrote to wells fargo
"So here I’ve stood while wind and rain
Have set the trees a-sobbin’
And risked my life for that damned box,
That wasn’t worth the robbin’."
Black Bart the Po 8
the gentleman bandit
another legendary san franciscan
hero that shaped my life view
please feel free
to read of he
who spent his life
spreading poetry
in an unconventional forum.
