THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN WRITES BAD POETRY

Every Sunday I get the chance

to sit down and make the words all dance
because each week at about this time
I do the Gonzo blogs in rhyme

But WHY? you ask somewhat confused.
it's simple I say (quite amused)
they may make you happy, or smile, or barf
but I write the rhymes cos they make me laugh

So we start off now (I think we'd better)
with issue sixteen of our newsletter
written by me and a bunch of friends
it goes out free every weekend
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/03/gonzo-weekly-newsletter-16.html

But now we go to Austin City
where the rhymes are great and the poets are pretty
who will we meet? (I think you know it)
Goodness me, its Thom the World Poet

And now the Gonzo Track of the Day
I know just what you're gonna say
you think you recognise the song?
Yes, my dears, its a track from Gong

Yes are out on tour its true
and here is a slightly mixed review
of the LA gig with a puzzled tone
from the reviews pages of Rolling Stone

Eurovision songs are mostly crap
but here's one from an unlikely chap
Tony Iomni (you know he's seen ya)
has written the entry for Armenia

Although Michael Dunford's sadly missed
Renaissance have a new guitarist
but what is best for this special band
is that Michael's widow has endorsed the plans

And last but not least for heaven's sake
an interview here with Greg Lake,
his talent hasn't done a bunk
but gosh he really dislikes punk

And now my poetic muse is dry
and I will have to say goodbye
but don't worry little Gonzo friends
there'll be more poetry next weekend

*  The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at  jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...

*  The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

* We should probably mention here, that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
