Bill Maynard (1928-2018)
by Randy Johnson

A British actor entertained people as Selwyn Froggitt and The Gaffer.
During his 89 years of life, Bill Maynard gave millions the gift of laughter.
He starred in a few episodes of both 'Worzel Gummidge' and 'Heartneat'.
He starred once in both 'The Ugliest Girl In Town' and 'Coronation Street'.

When he died, it was hard for all of his fans to get a grip.
He died in a hospital not long after falling and breaking his hip.
It was twelve months ago when he passed away.
Sadly, we lost a talented actor one year ago today.

A Brit in the USA
by Dr. Robert Ippaso

You know you're in trouble
When folks burst your bubble
That your fine English accent
Most others lament.

Their eyes grow far larger
Their countenance harder
As they gaze with intent
To listen hell bent.

Ray’s Favorite Bitch
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice

My name is Daniel…
I’m a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel…
My friend’s name is Ray…
He wants to hump me all day…

Ray’s a frisky young pup…
Seems constantly boned up…
While we are indeed good friends…
I’m not sure what he intends…
