A Little News

newspaper

I looked at the paper
Read a little news
Nothing really special
Just a quick peruse
My eye caught an item
New bride you did choose

Perhaps I should tell her
How you run around
Chasing other women
In every part of town
And worst of all
Never put the seat down


A blogger I am following records his poems.  I enjoy hearing the author read his own work. It seems to give more meaning. I have recorded some of mine but am not able to rid the recording of static,  but I did my best.  :)

    :) Hi

  2. sweet poem and enjoyed your voice..

  3. AnElephantCant deny it
    Ladysighs does sound awfully sweet
    Everything oh so fine
    ‘Til the very last line
    When she mentions that accursed seat

  4. Glad I found your new blog and its as good as the old one!

  5. How lovely to hear your voice!
    Lovely the poem too, and the picture too!
    Doesn’t anyone notice how the static just goes perfect with the picture’s sepia timelessness?😃

    Hope your allergy’s gone!

    • I notice you took the weekend off.

      Never thought to use the sepia excuse. But that excuse won’t work for the next couple of selections I have planned. Doesn’t matter to me. Just another fun thing to do …. before I get back to the opposite poetry. :)

  6. Now THAT’S a Texas Drawl!

  7. How lovely to hear your speaking voice on here. Love the singing on your other one and this is another pleasure. Thank you :)

    • Hearing myself speak was rather a shock. lol
      I don’t like the way the recording works……but some things don’t always matter. It will be fun to read some here. Why don’t you try it? I am sure you have a voice as beautiful as your ‘things’.. :)

  8. Hi Sighs – I don’t know how you record now, but there’s a free program called Audacity. It takes a bit of learning, but has lots of filters to help clean up recordings. A reasonable mic or headset is only £10/15. And you can check the control panel in windows and see if you have “mic boost” on – it will create lots of static and is best ‘Off’ if you can.
    You may not want all the bother – but you may find recording opens up lots of new fun too!
    Hope that helps :)

    • Yes, I am using Audacity. I use it both on Linux and Windows. I think it is probably just my microphone….getting old and worn out. Or just me getting old and worn out. Years ago I used the little recorder on Windows XP and didn’t have too much static. But then MS changed the recorder.

      I don’t do much in Windows any more as I love Linux. Just keep the dual boot for a couple of things. Seems my recordings are better in Vista though. I will try to find the mic boost. I hate to muck around in there. Get lost. lol

      I keep playing with the Audacity controls but just make a bigger mess. lol

      I do more records on my other blog. I think I follow you there…not sure. Thanks!

  9. Oh no, sin of all sins, exposing the nakedness of the toilet!! I love your recording, and the way you read it was very professional! A lot of poets doing this now, blogging is becoming very interesting these days!
    Suzy :D

    • Thank you…glad you enjoyed. I would classify it more as silly than professional. I had written the verse and went looking for a picture. When I saw her …I loved her and knew how the verse should sound. :)

A "Hi" is OK!
