Freebie Friday #4 , Sock it to me !!!

It's that time of the week again where we, the lonely pioneers of great workwear , try to bring a little ray of sunshine into our dull world by offering you fine and dandy afficionados the chance to get something for free !

This week , as our newsletter features Lee Cooper, and we have added a lot more Lee Cooper Workwear to the site we have decided to offer you the cahnec to get your furry toes cosseted by , not one, not two ...not even four, but five pairs of lee Cooper work socks. That's right we are today offering 10 packs of 5 Lee Coper work socks , pictured below, to the best 10 answers to this rambling question. In today's newsletter I've "borrowed" a line from Shelley's "Ozymandias" and attributed it to Morris Cooper, founder of Lee Cooper workwear , viz :

" My name is Morris, King of overalls,

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair"

So today's question is , what is your favourite poem, and why ?

Lee Cooper workwear socks

Winners of last weeks CAT polo short were :

Cariona Tuite, for liking REM

Rea ,our twitter buddy at Tinbox Tools

Jan Korda, our correspondent from the Czech Republic.

James Roberts, despite liking Morrisey

Barry Lyons, for cheering us up.

Cheers,

Paul

P.S. still loving cricket

P.P.S In honour of the new album by Elbow out today I'm listening to Starlings performed live in Abbey Road studios with the BBC orchestra.

Ozymandias was one of the poems we read during our British literature lessons... As I remember, there lasted only ruins of Ozymandias' statue... I hope that Lee Cooper empire will last much longer than the Ozymandias' one! I have one pair of these socks and have to admit that they are not bad, but Haix socks are more comfortable... And to the workwear, the black Cargo Work Trousers looks good and are cheap, maybe I will buy them!:-) My favourite poem is "Death be not proud" by John Donne, because it's very optimistic how he speaks about Death. In this poem Death has almost no power and brings us only one short sleep and after that we wake eternally... I think that everybody must feel better when he/she read this poem, because it weaken the fear from Death. Thank you for the CAT polo!:-) Regards, Jan P.S.: now I'm listening to Battlefield 2 soundtrack... I simply love industrial music from war games/movies.

Stony Grey Soil - Patrick Kavanagh O stony grey soil of Monaghan The laugh from my love you thieved; You took the gay child of my passion And gave me your clod-conceived. You clogged the feet of my boyhood And I believed that my stumble Had the poise and stride of Apollo And his voice my thick-tongued mumble. You told me the plough was immortal! O green-life-conquering plough! Your mandril strained, your coulter blunted In the smooth lea-field of my brow. You sang on steaming dunghills A song of cowards' brood, You perfumed my clothes with weasel itch, You fed me on swinish food. You flung a ditch on my vision Of beauty, love and truth. O stony grey soil of Monaghan You burgled my bank of youth! Lost the long hours of pleasure All the women that love young men. O can I still stroke the monster's back Or write with unpoisoned pen His name in these lonely verses Or mention the dark fields where The first gay flight of my lyric Got caught in a peasant's prayer. Mullahinsha, Drummeril, Black Shanco- Wherever I turn I see In the stony grey soil of Monaghan Dead loves that were born for me. In a nutshell it sums up you lot especially John Jnr on steaming dunghills.... The reason I like it so much is because it puts you lot in your box lol

If I can endure for this moment, whatever is happening to me. No matter how heavy my heart or how dark the moment may be. if I can but keep on believing what I know in my heart to be true. Then darkness will fade into morning and with dawn a new day too. I dont know wrote this but it is so true that no matter what bad happens today you know there is tomorrow for a chance for something better.

A smile costs nothing, but gives a lot. It enriches those who receive it without making poorer those who give it. A smile takes only a moment, but the memory of it can last forever. No one is so rich, or so mighty, that they can get a long without a smile. And no one is so poor that they cannot be made richer by a smile. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in business and is the counter sign of friendship. A smile brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad and is nature's best cure for trouble Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen for it is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give a smile so give them one of yours as no one needs a smile so much as he who has no more of his own to give. Soppy but true. I thought Elbow album came out on Monday. I'll have to try and get a listen over the weekend. :)

It has to "If", surely the greatest advice anyone can get ! If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; Cheesy and commercial I know but always captures my attention every time I hear it

To me music lyrics are poetry. Writers like Conor Oberst of Bright eyes, morrissey and the smiths and Jim Morrison. But a favourite poem of my is Another Day by Charles Bukowski. Because its real life. PS: The safety booths are great and thanks for the Lee Cooper socks...
