Welcome to The Buzzard, the homepage and diary/magazine for Cry Havoc, Cotswold morris side from Botley in Oxford.

The dancing season winds to its close, and though the evenings have not been exactly balmy at least they have been mostly dry. Amazingly, though, the sun always shines in our Picture Gallery. Well, maybe not Levellers' Day, but blue skies were in evidence at Kirtlington and Chippenham festivals.
In Meet the Morris you will learn one or two surprising things about Jim, and, as you will see below, we now know that Barbara has a secret desire to be another Angelina Jolie, a Tattooed Lady!

Enjoy your hols

Tattooed Barbara

by Audrey Nyman (with apologies to Paddy Roberts) She was a bit of a gal, I’ll admit She danced in the best Cotswold fashion. Down Chippenham way On a warm Saturday She got carried away with a passion. She saw with a start, something close to her heart So she opened her purse and spent money. She thought that her bloke Would soon get the joke, And he might even find it quite funny. He gave not a thought to the things that she bought So she put them away in a cupboard He feigned interest Till she took off her vest And exposed her tattoo of a buzzard. This was much more than poor Pete could endure And he made remonstrations quite forthright. Till Barbara explained In a voice that was pained That it would wash off in a fortnight.
