ode to the shed

Back in the dark ages when the internet was born, there were many newsgroups......
One of which was uk.rec.sheds

I thought it had died a silent death, but have just re-discovered it on Google groups :~)))
It is populated by many wierd and wonderfull people, and has a language all its own:
Molish : To make, to construct. Opposite of 'demolish' A 'sheddism'.
See usenet group uk.rec.sheds. "Not having one to hand, I molished one out of 'loominum."

Yurt inspired shed


a posh shed !
shed at Dungeness ?

the tetra shed



 



One  of them once wrote this poem:
This is our ancient shed,                                             
good as a lie in bed,                                                 
God save the shed.                                                    
                                                                      
Long to remain in,                                                    
with a roof made of tin,                                              
full of a load of tqt,                                                
and perhaps a cat.                                                    
                                                                      
Ooodles of finest junk,                                               
roof made out of old bunk,                                            
God save our shed.                                                    
                                                                      
We have a sacred task,                                                
midst our old stuff to bask.                                          
Keepers of things made to last                                        
last of the past.                                                     
                                                                      
We partake of B A                                                     
at the end of the day,                                                
here in our Shed.                                                     
                                                                      
These are the things you see,                                         
which I hold dear to me,                                              
Homebrew and a cup of tea,                                            
and a fine PP.                                                        
                                                                      
Let the shed ever stand,                                              
finest place in the land,                                             
GOD SAVE THE SHED.


NB
tqt=I think it means 'tat'
BA=Brown Ale

tqt (pronounced 'tat') = top quality tat
