Shed Song
After the singing of happy birthday to Keith Grieve on 3rd June 2011, Ted was most moved by the occasion and has penned as follows: I was very impressed with the singing of “Happy Birthday” last Friday it led me to think about having our own Melba Shed song to sing at some stage during our meetings. I have penned a very basic verse based on the tune and theme of “The Road to Gundagai” – mainly because it is easy to sing and everyone knows it.
I’m calling it “Until something better comes along” because I know there are some very competent poets in our group who will come up with some much better suggestions. We may finish up with several Melba Shed songs. Meanwhile here’s my effort (Editors note: “please someone save us!”)
