The Man that don't fit in Robert Service / delivered by Boucrate 2010

[snogger64]

Well done my friend, well done.

[Boucrate]

@snogger64 Well thank you my friend;-)

Such a great poem that always moved me, merci!

[nathandare2]

i think your tone is well off the mark ! the words have so much more resonance when spoken with compasion and heart felt depth !

[Boucrate]

The first time I heard it, it was as a long lost souvenir coming back, must have been the mastery of the the good old americano-irish-canadian friend reciting it, but also the real meaning of what is a Man that don't fit in is...A mirror of sort, that wandering friends share around a fire camp or on a balcony of busy city street... Friends we never or will never forget;-) Merci for the listen and your story.

[Barklord]

Wow. I just found this video. Great stuff! Thank you sir

[Boucrate]

@Barklord Hi my friend;-)

I'm very happy it pleased you.

I want to video one day my old friend

and American-canadien Irish man who

got me into this profound poem,

I'll tell you if I do if he want's, a man also with a story;-)

Bonsoir thank you!

@Boucrate

This is my favourite poem , that I heard first in the early 1990's in a Wigan pub by an old bricklayer, named Billy Connolly, now sadly passed. He'd come across it whilst working in Whitehorse 30 years earlier. When I'm a bit sauced, it occasionally gets an airing if I think about him. It was my sad pleasure to read it aloud to his friends on a bright september, sunday morning as we spread his ashes in his favourite place. What a guy, Billy . And RW Service's not bad either...

[Boucrate]

@OUSEY Sorry to answer so late;( But sometime a comment, as your's

is so filled with feeling and meaning that I must be so taken that I forget to answer.

I still really enjoy reading it Merci beaucoup very much!;-)

[ccdg1066]

That was a fine reading of this poem. Robert Service still has much to say about our life in the "modern world".

[Boucrate]

@ccdg1066 Sorry for the very late reply;-) Indeed you are so right

is words are still so significant today! Merci thank you;-)

[johnvuc]

Very insightful. Mr. Boucrate.

[Boucrate]

@johnvuc Hello My Friend;-)

That poem always got me thinking a lot..

.A great piece of Poetry!

Merci thank you!

[261madmike]

A very sprited rendition of one of my fravorite poems, thank you.

I'm surprised I havn't come accross it before this.

[Boucrate]

@261madmike Hi Michael;-)

I'm just now realizing that I first heard that great Poem

from an ex-military (a good friend) who served in the American

and Canadian Armies. Render with strong emotions by this Poet

I kept that passion in this present version,

and I'm happy you found it! Merci thank you sir;-)

[doghaven1]

I see you have many talents. I enjoy you thoroughly.  Thank you for all you do.

[Boucrate]

@doghaven1 Hello Friends;-)

This is one of my favorite poem...

I do dig reciting Poetry;-)

Merci thank you so much!

[inkkblot]

Fine job, hadn't heard that before.

[Boucrate]

The first time I heard it was

around 1980, and never

forgotten about it since...

Almost haunting;-)

[Boucrate]

@willybass123 Bonjour Bill;-)

Indeed you are right my friend

and pieces of that Poem, if not it all...

Thank you kindly;-)

[StevenErnest]

Wow, you are welcome, kindly! This was amazing, Guybou... I did not know of Service, I looked him up in Wiki, and will look at his website. Is he on Facebook? J/k. ; )

That was a powerful poem. Energizing, and sad. I loved your passionate reading! (Sorry it took me a couple days to get here.) Tres wonderful! ^_^

[Boucrate]

@StevenErnest Salut Steve;-)

The first time my old friend Charlie McKenzie

recited me (great performance) this poem

with an old Irish accent,

I fell in deep admiration not only for the proses,

but the honesty that irradiated this Poem.

And now, that I should have better understood

the wisdom of these words thirthy years ago;-)

"...Energizing, and sad..." Indeed mon Ami.

Hey glad you're here now Merci thank you!

[near2earth]

[Boucrate]

@TVBarlinek

Hello Karys mon Ami;-)

I always liked expressing the meaning

of the words and emotions of a Poem!

Specially a great Poem like this one.

Robert Service was a People Poet,

so I like him ;-)

Merci thank you!

[fingercheese]

[Boucrate]

@fingercheese @fingercheese Hello Rob;-)

Cool to hear from you. Love the video

This poem as always haunted me,

and everytime I read it or hear it,

or express it, I'm possess by my

ever changing understanding of it.

I do like animated poetry;-)

Merci my friend!

[PleaseStayTuned]

Well done! Fantastic poem. You made that poem come alive in all the senses. It was perfect with a cup of Stinging Nettle tea.

[Boucrate]

@PleaseStayTuned Hi m;-)

Interesting the last time I saw Stinging Nettles in great numbers on the side of a mountains, was when I was planting threes north of Prince-George in B.C.

Yep I had to plant amist them lol!...Well ouch! ouch! ouch!!

S Nettle good to clean the blood;-)

[PleaseStayTuned]

@Boucrate

Prickly heats take a prickly tea

I'll complain about neither

Taking blessings from either

Lest I end up like Sam McGee

Daniel

[Boucrate]

@PleaseStayTuned

Nor would I wish to hear

you ask me

to close the door of the boiler

while sitting in its burning belly;-)

[PleaseStayTuned]

@Boucrate

Touché!

[myrnaukelele]

There are strange things done neath the midnight sun...

[Boucrate]

@myrnaukelele ...By the men who moil for gold;

The Arctic trails have their secret tales That would make your blood run cold.....

[LeMarquisDivin]

Je ne savais jamais que vous avez possédé un tel talent pour la récitation littéraire! Pouvons-nous entendre plus?

[Boucrate]

@LeMarquisDivin Bonjour mon Ami;-)

J'ai toujours aimé réciter, car la Poésie

contient le drame humain, et de reciter

ouvre nos yeux à bien des choses

de la vie qu'on se refuse habituellement

de voir..

Je devrais en faire d'autre, Merci thank you!

[mettanc]

yeap, i don't fit in for sure.

thnk u kindly,

michael

[Boucrate]

@mettanc Yep when I decided to

do this poem I knew that many

of us would find some fitting

In "The man that don't fit in";-)

Merci Michael mon Ami!

[streetspiritlive]

the man who was making tremble

anyways he could

makes me tremble

from my head to my toes

Nothin like a good shake

[Boucrate]

@streetspiritlive

Ha yes;-) You are alive my dear friend!

And these words of R.Service,

as rare western coast thunder storm

will also make us tremble

as they rumble unexpectably

in the valleys of our souls...

Great thunder happening right now;-)

[Boucrate]

films with speudo natives that where

wearing scarfs to hold their wiggs

in action scenes haha!

[Loreleila]

Fabulous rendition, and a pleasant departure from your usual fare. I am a bit of a nomad myself.....

PS Were you a pirate in a previous life? :P

[Boucrate]

@Loreleila Aar Aar! my Dear;-) Et bien, thank you! I always liked reciting Poetry my own as of others authors writing with which I can relate and play out;-) When I played in the Old Québec street early eightiesI definitly had a Pirate look;) Though many thousand of tourist took my picture then, I don't really have any pictures of that non-digital period lol! Ciao my good friend!

[VirtuallyAddicted]

Well read. Although I might never make permanent roots in this life I lead a much more interesting one and will have interesting stories to share when I pass on to whatever lies beyond.

[Boucrate]

@VirtuallyAddicted Bonjour James;-)

Indeed we are individuals,

conscious intelligent (more or less;)

sensors permitting this Amazing Univers

to experience itself ;-)

We are part of quite a trip lol!

Merci thank my friend!
