Bunch of keys

09:57:00 Posted by Colin Daives , , , , , 3 comments
Happy bank holiday Monday. I decided to write a poem today. “What where you thinking?” Radical thinking, I know.

This scribble has been designed as a groan fest performance piece with the player going through a very large bunch of keys picking out a different one for each ‘key’ line. Anything in brackets is a stage action.

So I hope you can image it being delivered on stage with props.

Have fun.

Colin

Bunch of Keys

Chunky
Funky
Spunky
Monkey
Is it true
Major Tom’s a junkie?

Oky
Dokey
Pig in a
Pokey
who’s gonna win
Thor or Loki?

Flaky
Shaky
Achy
Snaky
The one who hatesButler?
That’ll be Blakey

I have one for my Combined Harvester
I have one for my heart
And this one shows which bit looks like Pac-man
On this yellow and blue pie chart (Hold up a printed out Pie Chart)
This one opens happiness
And to life it’s this one I’m sure
But this one I have in my right hand
Will open my front door.

Thor, obviously.

Cute post :-)

Metaphorically, isn't the key for someone's combined harvester the same as the key to a person's heart?

Or does that only work for Wurzels?

Great post,

Ash

I think the Wurzels where being both metaphorical and literal when they sung this line.

Thanks for noticing the pop culture reference.
