Hello Folks, Thought you might like this one.
The Old Timer
"You are old, Father William. " the young man said,
"And I'd hate to put you in your place,
But on twenty these evenings I think you should know
That the whiskers aren't all on your face!"
"I'm sorry for that son, but surely you're wrong,
No one else has reported it so.
Down in Timbuctu these days they say I'm fb
So you know just where you can go!"
"You are old, Father William," the young man cried,
Yet you will keep on moaning about TVI
You're getting a terrible bore!"
"You think you're so clever,"the old man replied,
"Miles from nowhere you're right in the clear,
Just you try out your rig in my fourth storey flat!"
If you live, why, I'll fill you with beer!"
"You are old father William, "the young man smiled,
"And your beard is a beautiful white.
Yet you natter on eighty for most of the day
And on two for best part of the night!"
"Well, I've worked all the DX,"The old man replied,
WAC on all bands, don't you know.
If I can't have a chinwag without all this fuss,
I call it a pretty bad show!"
"You are old Father William, "the young man rejoined,
"I can see that by your wrinkled brow,
But your Morse is quite shocking, your 'phone I deplore
In fact it's a heck of a row!"
"In my youth said the sage,"Before you were born,
Self-excited my note was T2 !
But I still worked the DX, so why should I fret ?
Get lost, 73 QRU.
