This is a version of Ralph's wonderful Baltimore played (tortured?) on the ukulele.

In a pecan leather jacket
and rose-hip cowboy boots -
Barry flew first class to Baltimore
to see a man about a horse.
He made five million dollars -
a train of whispering friends.
He fell in love in Jacksonville -
on a peppermint fragranced bed.
Ten years later he crept back home
to his Mother in St Johns Wood.
And sometimes when he drinks to sleep -
he screams the murders in the mud.

A great delivery of your poem
A great delivery of your poem Richard. I thought your ukulele playing was fine, it's certainly not easy to play and sing at the same time.
Jenny.
