This week, as Cat was away, Dear Leader has written a blog poem:

This week as Cat was poorly
I thought I'd do the blog
To make it slightly different
I'd rhyme the words I log

We started with a warm-up
Extending vowels again

Some ta ta tas, and ooha and ahs
And finished with  'Amen'

Then onto our first number

We harmonised some bars
And did the song great justice
A classic 'Life on Mars'

Then came a little story
That choir needed to know

About 'Absolute 80's'

On my new DAB radio

So with this inspiration
We sorted out two parts
And all were Bonnie Tyler

With a Total Eclipse of the Heart

We scrubbed out a whole paragraph
And sang 'I'm in the dark'

Then got really excited
And screeched 'giving off sparks'

Onto our song number 3

About a Radio Star

And Video that killed him

And went a bit too far

Then Elbow had an airing
It's sounding quite high-brow
With lots of lovely harmonies

And several holy cows

We finished with a song request
The choice of two great songs
The Floral Dance for Terry
Or Something Inside So Strong

Labi Siffre was the choice
Your singing did impress

As we closed another practice

I love you DfS
