Feb 2022 ss020422b skirmish superskirmish meeting
went over time due to being called away by other things then my mic lead decided to play up so i had to find another cable. this was a weird one, i had no idea at all where each line was going
at the community meeting
there is circular seating
saying everyone's an equal around here
we have an urn with hot water
and the treasurer's daughter
is a jolly good refreshments volunteer
Kate always buys the own brand
but not the cheapest - that's just so bland
for the vegans she provides the dairy free
milk alternatives
i could run out of superlatives
to describe just how amazing she can be
like this one time it got heated
because somebody had tweeted
that the meeting was so boring and so slow
"well you mustve looked
so it hasn't got you hooked"
i thought that it might even come to blows
so Kate in a second
weighed it up and reckoned
that a cup of tea would surely save the day
so she hollered out "tea break"
there was an immediate uptake
and everything turned out ok
my hero....

Oh, I love this. I can see the whole scene, and the rhymes that pull it all along, stumbling around the circle.. I think I might have stopped in at this meeting the last time I was in London, it was on the second floor of an old church.. Maybe you were there....

Whimsical AF. Brilliantly British. Grand, instantly hummable melody.
In other words, loads of fun.
@kristi Feb 2022
Ha! That's a good one! Great, fun details give us the whole picture into the group here. Multi-word rhyming is hard and you do it so naturally: volunteer/around here, dairy-free/she can be etc...nicely played. Enjoyed it!
@jibbidy34 Feb 2022
Yeah! Liked the south London geezer voice in the third verse. Cute story song about our beloved British cuppa!
@serene123 Feb 2022
So funny. You have some serious lyrical prowess!
@valeriecox Feb 2022
Yay! Tea saved the day. Such a delightful song. I need a Kate. I know too many Karens. :P
@blindkiwi Feb 2022
So glad it all finished for the best :). Thank you Wobbie my day has just started with a big smile.
@gwyn1234 Feb 2022
It's like we were in the room with you...deftly described detail and a happy outcome...hurrah for Kate and hurrah for Wobbie!
@petemurphy Feb 2022
Yayyy for Kate, and her peace making, vegan friendly ways. I always appreciate someone who looks after us dairy free folks.
Lovely, lovely, Wobbie!
@tunecat Feb 2022
Wonderful - as always. Why aren’t you on radio??
@andygetch Feb 2022
I was totally smiling, especially at the line 'for the vegans she provides the dairy free milk alternatives'. Also I can relate to the boring and slow community meeting LOL.
@hmstreetteam Feb 2022
It’s easy to like a story with a hero and a happy ending.
@fuzzy Feb 2022
I like how your songs shine a light on the overlooked scenes of everyday life that we can all identify with.
So catchy and welcoming sounding (does that even make sense?).
Another good one.
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
What a wonderful tale ! Kate the Super-T-Lady !
As always, I adore your storytelling, and it's friendly approachable feeling. You are so good at this Ms Wobbie :)
@katpiercemusic Feb 2022
Kate needs to become a diplomat. Snacks could save the world! As always, I love how you find the exceptional in the mundane.
@jwhanberry Feb 2022
What a fun, down home song. Sounds like a wonderful group of folks.
Thanks for coming out to play.
@musicsongwriter Feb 2022
Brilliant fun song. A pleasure to listen to and to enjoy your humour.
@judypie Feb 2022
I love it :) A slice of LIFE!
@cabinmonster Feb 2022
Love it, love it love it. You just set the scene so well and then the drama unfolds. Hilarious. You're a lyrical genius wobbie.
@richaaaay Feb 2022
Oh Wobbie, so impressive. You could give me 100 hours and I wouldn't come up with something so brilliant. Loved it!
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Creative and clever and fun! I love the mundane and silly details you deliver that make your song stories so delightful to listen to. Always such a great delivery too! Thanks for the smiles!
@phylo Feb 2022
I worked for Hewlett Packard back in the day, and we have had many a similar meeting. We used to have meetings to see how many more meetings we'd need! This song is a pure delight, very cleverly written!
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
You have such a way with lyrics that are so inventive and have such creative rhymes. I feel like I know Kate too.
When I see a Wobbie song on my Soundboard, I know I'm in for a good time. Thanks for not disappointing!
@nancyrost Feb 2022
Classic Wobbie. I love the drama of all these mundane details. Awesome rhymes and adorable conclusion.
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
OH i have been there - oh i hate that home brand coffee thank goodness for Kate Oh how British the cup of tea saved the day!
Great skirmish Wobbie! such a good observational song!
@zeekle1998 Feb 2022
As always your songs are so enlightening and humour filled. I could almost hear a "You have no authority here Jackie Weaver" in the background. (didn't you do a song previously about her??) Great stuff
