One of those moments...

Laatst kwam dit uit mijn vingers, tijdens het spelen van "with all I am" van Reuben Morgan...
Ben benieuwd wat jullie er van vinden.... :D
('t is trouwens maar een verkorte versie hoor...)

Marten onze songwriter!!

Marten wordt later echt wel een songwriter, wat zeg ik, hij is het eigenlijk al...

Hier zijn nieuwste hit:
Een beetje voorgeschiedenis: We leren de kinderen dat het goed is om dingen te doneren, zoals bvb eten aan de 'foodbank' en GOED speelgoed aan organisaties die het dan aan kindjes geven die zelf geen speelgoed kunnen kopen... Marten snapt het helemaal, maar heeft het soms een beetje moeilijk om dingen op te geven, vandaar dit lied... Oh ja, hij heeft dit gister in de auto al zingend geschreven voor ons... (het is een beetje 'rap' achtig)

There are people who don't have food
There are people who don't have shirts
There are people who don't have toys
There are people who don't have pants

(Herhaal dit een paar keer)

BUT I DON'T WANT TO GIVE MY SPECIAL FOOD
BUT I DON'T WANT TO GIVE MY SPECIAL SHIRT
BUT I DON'T WANT TO GIVE MY SPECIAL TOY
BUT I DON'T WANT TO GIVE MY SPECIAL PANTS

BUT They can have my yellow boots!

There are people who don't have food
There are people who don't have shirts
There are people who don't have toys
There are people who don't have pants

(Herhaal dit weer een paar keer)

Now listen up and read along:

23 knockels 1 verse 24
"You have to sit together and get along!"

CAUSE...

There are people who don't have food
There are people who don't have shirts
There are people who don't have toys
There are people who don't have pants

(Herhaal dit weer een paar keer)

SO give up that food
and give up that shirt
and give up those toys
and give up those pants
Cause you have so much of them!

There are people who don't have food
There are people who don't have shirts
There are people who don't have toys
There are people who don't have pants

(Herhaal dit weer een paar keer)

Ik moet eerlijk zeggen dat hij er nog veel meer bij had gezongen, maar mijn geheugen laat me even in de steek... Misschien wil hij het straks nog wel eens voor me zingen!! Ik ben trouwens erg benieuwd wat er nog allemaal te vinden is in dat boek 'knockels' als daar al 23 boeken van geschreven zijn... :)

A holy man was having a conversation

with the Lord one day and said.

'Lord, I would like to know what

Heaven and Hell are like.

The Lord led the holy man to two

doors.

He opened one of the doors and the

holy man looked in. In the middle of

the room was a large round table. In

the middle of the table was a large pot

of stew, which smelled delicious and

made the holy man's mouth water.

The people sitting around the table

were thin and sickly. They appeared to

be famished. They were holding

spoons with very long handles that

were strapped to their arms and each

found it possible to reach into the pot

of stew and take a spoonful.

But because the handle was longer

than their arms, they could not get the

spoons back into their mouths.

The holy man shuddered at the sight

of their misery and suffering.

The Lord said, 'You have seen Hell.

They went to the next room and

opened the door. It was exactly the

same as the first one. There was the

large round table with the large pot of

stew which made the holy man's mouth

water. The people were equipped with

the same long-handled spoons, but here

the people were well nourished and

plump, laughing and talking. The holy

man said, 'I don't understand.'

'It is simple,' said the Lord.

'It requires but one skill. You see

they have learned to feed each

other, while the greedy think only

of themselves.'

When Jesus died on the cross, He was

thinking of you. It's estimated 93%

won't forward this. If you are one of

the 7% who will, forward this with the

title '7%'.

I'm in the 7%

Remember that I will always share

my spoon with you.
