Come For A Ha'penny
an ode to Vocal and its creators
A ha’penny for thee!
A ha’penny for thee!
Harken you creators
I gift a ha’penny to thee!
Bring forth your words
You poets
And scribblers
I tip my cap to your toil
Your freedom of mind unspoiled
You Quicken my heart
And leave me inspired
Illicitly It seems
highway robbery to me
A fortune of stories for free
So Please
For your wondrous artistry
Accept a ha’penny from me!

Well, how kind of you, and clever
Why thank you, kind sir.
teehee, a chuckle-inducing piece. thank you always for your incisive wit.
Nice work. Keep it up.
Solidarity, fellow ink-stained wretch, and keep heaping scorn on the droids!
Haha; I am slow due to unfathomable heat and it took me awhile to get this. ROCK's are not that bright. You made me wonder if the Vocal admin team loves to read or finds us a chore. A bore. A snore. I hope somebody appreciates all this talent! (such as yours)
Ha'penny well received and thank you! This sent my mind on a tangent to Peter Paul and Mary's "A Soalin'." Great closing line, BTW!
🤣 that last parenthetical line was icing on the cake!
I read this is an inspiring sing-song voice, and reflected on how long it's been since I watched Oliver. Thank you for that.
Delightful and well recieved! Same to you, sir, same to you!
It's priceless creativity!
Nicely done 👍🏽
Its like a co-created library!
