May 31st 2022 The Choir lost a special member on this sad day When Dave our valued friend and colleague passed away Leaving a family of his own in sadness and grieving Mourning the shock of his loss and too sudden leaving Their family tree of life was shaken, this last day of May When Dave closed his eyes and he drifted away. He enjoyed a long happy marriage with Erica his wife Sharing together a wonderful, true family life Raising Lynne and Gordon their daughter and son With their five grandchildren who added so much fun Sunday lunches together, which could be up to eleven Were Dave’s favourite times, his idea of heaven. He played badminton in which his performance was striking Until the shuttlecock flew too fast for his liking So instead took their members, very long walking And he met with ex-coppers for even much longer talking Of their times on the beat and the people they’d meet And the laughs he enjoyed with the CID boys. This big man, so gentle, understanding and kind Has left many fond memories of his life behind His NARPO colleagues made him an Honorary Life Member His unstinting dedication and efforts - they’ll remember With the bass Choir, he had word and tune perfection A wonderful example to colleagues in the ”Old Growlers” section. He’s our latest member to join the Choir family up above After almost eleven years he leaves us with much sadness and love But what one has lost another has gained - just remember The MD up above has just signed on a brand new member He’ll smarten them up - it will be no surprise When he demands they wear with pride, their cerise bow ties. A TRIBUTE FROM THE MEMBERS OF THE DORSET POLICE MALE VOICE CHOIR

Now that it is Twenty, Twenty Two Just what are we Supposed to do Keep our distance Wear a mask Surely not a lot to ask Or should we Just ignore advice And pay the inevitable terrible price Of infecting others No matter the cost Of seeing our loved ones Suffer and lost Do we deserve Following these simple rules To be considered by minorities To be such fools? A young girl with cancer Needs a nurse Is she really tending Something worse? With the unjabbed man Taking up a bed Why can’t he get it Inside his head His selfish attitude To this tiny prick in his arm Is causing others Immeasurable harm Perhaps it’s time Rules are activated You can’t be treated Unvaccinated. If you’re reading this Not fully jabbed Just realise this you’re Not getting stabbed It doesn’t hurt It’s quick, saves lives Yours, your brothers and sisters Husbands and wives.
