Recessive Jean wears an Afghan coat
And beads by the hundred around her throat.
She keeps three chickens and a billy goat
Ignores her taxes and doesn’t vote.
Recessive Jean was a sixties child
Her hair is long and never styled
She’s very laid back and never riled
Goes to Festivals and still goes wild.
Recessive Jean was born free
Still smokes pot and drops LSD
Goes topless with huge whoops of glee
Her bosom swings – around her knees.
Although she’s odd in her single glove
And annoyingly childish, kind of,
It’s nice to know and be indulgent of
A believer in, “All you need is love”.

Stumble It!

awww lovely …..
Now don’t go all soppy on me …… where’s that Northern grit?
It’s Monday .. the grit comes out as the week goes on
Did you write that?!? One of my favourite blog posts …
Yes I did ……. and what’s really exciting is that there will be another poem on Wednesday and then again on Friday. I sincerely believe that my avid reader is worth it ……
I know Jean. That is, I knew her. Lovely girl. Made my kaftan look like a tent!
Those were the days. my friend.
Looking forward to Woden’s Tag und Freia’s Tag
I don’t know about them …… but Anna Phylactic might make an appearance ……. I know …… shocking ….
And Imagen Noperzeshuns ?
Unfortunately I know of no such person ……
She’s usually with her soul-mate Zizi F. Yootri….
F. Lummoxed seems to be my only friend ce matin ……. ooooooo, just got there, it’s easy when I try ……..
we thought they’d never end…
…. they did though ……. didn’t they? …….
That’s actually rather good. I’m starting to think that all this ‘peabrain’ stuff is just a front.
Are you hiding your light under a bushel?
There are rare moments of clarity that I can do nothing about I’m afraid ……..
I think it’s actually more of a broadbean than a pea. That accounts for these lovely moments.
How come being called a broadbean makes me feel good? ……. it’s an odd world ……..
Oh you make me cry. I take more tabs now than then. Problem is the new tabs work in a completely opposite manner.
Listening right now to Ogden’s Nut Flake LP, believe it or not. Oh the happiness
Would you like tissue Kerryview?
I always said you had a talent and not just for the fascination with the Gingernuts
Ah gingernuts ……. there’s a subject that needs expanding ……….
Oh take me back to the sixties!
I want flowers in my hair..
And to walk down the street
With no shoes on my feet
How I loved that 60’s flair!
But wait I remember the funny looks
Then, I didn’t give a damn..
But now I got wise
Life’s opened my eyes
So perhaps I’ll just stay as I am!!
Peace and love DaddyP
It was quite an optimistic time wasn’t it? ….. I think there’s still a remnant lurking after all those years, even for a grumpy ol’ man like me ……
The optimism of youth I think….. but I remain a Hippy in many ways .. I’ve not really changed – just got older!!!
Age is all in the mind …… and the knees …… and the memory ……. and the number of teeth ……. oh well ……
Most excellent DP… and perhaps one of the reasons you get to guide my sleigh! (Though I am a bit worried about how the others will react should you take to streaking… after all… being in front of them all would leave them with quite the view…)
Some say it’s my best feature …… [actually nobody's ever said that ....... I live in hope though]
