THE FULL LENGTH MIRROR [or designers on my hit list .... or built by design]

Ah there he stands in all his glory
Every feature a named sob story
Hair by Finery
Nature, Whinery
Eyes enhanced by the House of Gory.
The mouth and teeth by Oral Cavity
The lower portions through Depravity
Skin by Wrinkled
Willy, Sprinkled
The look enhanced by Bloody Gravity.

SWINGS AND ROUNDABOUTS

There comes a time when your chest descends
And settles on your waist
And hair from head starts to disappear
With an unseemly haste
But patiently wait for a day or two
There’s really nowt to fear
For up they sprout from nose and ears
And knees and chest and rear.
And about this time, and no-one knows
If there’s a planned connection,
Lids on [...]

OH, HOW WE SUFFER!!!

At the slightest sniffle, the first ‘Atchoo’
Straight to bed, announcing “’Flu!”
Being brave
So near the grave
“Just some tea – I can hardly chew
Oh and if it’s poss, my dearest dear,
A little broth, not hot, and clear,
A slice of bread
Before I’m dead
Would definitely bring some cheer.”
Forehead wiped and pillows plumped
The peabrain works on being slumped,
It won’t be [...]

OPEN GARDEN

I’ve been working hard to create a lovely area in a corner of the garden especially for goddesses to enjoy:
soft pastel colours, sweet scents and a feeling of tranquillity.
I wanted to share it with the village, and so I put an advertisement in the local Parish magazine in the form of a poem, and [...]

BOTTOMS UP!

I was walking down the lane last week
And spied upon the ground
A banana skin just lying there
Which I failed to go around.
I was mesmerised and couldn’t stop
From treading on the skin
And proved that tales ‘bout slipping
Are true, to my chagrin.
I tumbled over and fell in the ditch
Looking like a pin-up,
My kilt was gathered at my [...]

THE SWINGER

The penis maintained it could stand on it’s head.
When it’s owner turned over, asleep on the bed,
He moved back and forth
His feet settled North -
What metal, what bearing, a true thoroughbred!  (I refuse to comment on any of the assertions in this post. Lo,TG Ed)

ARCHITECTURAL CRITICISM

In my humble opinion a weapon of mass destruction
Should only really be considered if talking ‘crass construction’
Buildings from the 60’s make me heave and sigh
I would reach for the button and blow them all sky high.

(But Peabrain, some of them have been ‘listed’, they must be beautiful, if only to their mothers. Lo,TG Ed)
As usual, [...]

SO FAREE SO GOOD

I think that rhino saw us!
That giraffe had such a laugh
Those gnus g-know you know
Those hippos need a bath
The drivel is quite endless
When trucking o’er the plain
I saw a zebra crossing!
Help!! I think I’ll go insane.

DOGGEREL

There’s nothing worse than comic verse
That doesn’t rhyme or scan.
Welcome to my world
Because it’s something that keeps happening all the time.

PARTNERS

“Oh deary deary me” the glove puppet said
“Without that hand inside me I might as well be dead.”
