Much Ado......
Just thinking about language
And colloquial variations
So....
Would a 'northern' version
Of newt
Be nowt?
There's no bout adoubt it
And how is no sense
The same as nonsense
Only different?
And can you ride tandem?
These questions, and more
Are much ado about nothing
Or
Much ado about nowt
Or should that therefore
Be newt?

The Pond Life MafIa
Ive always wondered
How anyone, or thing
Could be
"Pissed as a newt!"
Does this suggest
As i may digress
That newts
Have an alcohol problem?
Presumably reknowned
For getting inebriated!
Although "pissed" in other countries
Refers to being angry
Which is more disconcerting
As i now live in fear
Of gangs of angry intoxicated newts
Wandering the streets
Both pissed off, and pissed
Like pondlife mafia!

VD on VD
Today is the day
Valentine's Day you fool
Grab your partner and have a great time tonight
If he or she is taking you out to some exclusive restaurant,
Don't forget when ordering Clams, Penne and Alfredo sauce,
That there's no side order of Gonorrhea, Chlamydia or Genital Warts
V.D. or Venereal Disease can infect & destroy
Be honest, be upfront, play it safe, so you can enjoy
On Halloween you tell the kids to be cautious
Some VD can make you sick, some can make you nauseous
Don't forget the flowers, the candy and some Trojan...

It's Funny
It's funny
I have cider, and red wine
Both collecting dust
But whenever i have mead in the house
Drink it i Must!
It's funny
I don't like honey
In drinks, or on toast
I love it in a pewter goblet
Or a glass at most
It's funny
That i love smoking weed
When drinking mead
That they happen to rhyme
Is a little sublime
It's funny
I imagine a dinosaur
Would find me quite a delight
Full basted in herbs, and honey
I'm sure i'd make a delicious bite!

What would you do for a Klondike Bar?
A woman pours gasoline all over herself and her infant child
She lights a match, and the two of them go up in flames in the middle of their playground in town
The reason...Someone asked the woman, "What would you do for a Klondike Bar?
Sucks for her and her infant.

Keeping Up To Scratch
In the last week
Ive searched high, and low,
And tried to tweak
To finding a back scratcher
But as yet, haven't managed to capture
Anyone
With long enough nails
That's willing to do it for fun
With perhaps, the occasional pun
So making do
With chop sticks
And door frames too!

A Valuable Lesson
So I was at the public library here in town the other day. I live in a very small town by the way. Just returning some books my kids had borrowed. Nothing to make a big deal about you’d think.
After putting the books on the return desk, I decided to go over to the autobiography section just to take a gander. I start looking for musicians in particular. Ones I don’t have or haven’t read.
Off on the other side of the library there was a group having a meeting. It’s audible what they’re saying, but it’s by no means yelling at the top of their lungs. It sounds...

Troth!
"I promise to tell the truth
The whole truth
And nothing but the truth
So help me god!"
So how does this work?
If you don't have any god
Does that therefore
Leave the assumption
That you may not be telling the truth?
So if i tell the truth
Without the validation
Of having a god behind it
Am i therefore likely to be lying?
We encourage our children
To always speak the truth
And to be honest
"MUM! why's that man only got one leg!!!!2
So now, you have to teach your child
Diplomacy, and tact ...
The whole truth
And nothing but the truth
So help me god!"

The Misadventures Underneath the Bridge
A young man walks alone
Shirtless on a hot, muggy night
He's attacked by an older man underneath the Williamsburg Bridge
He thought the guy was going to kill him
Instead he was raped
He can't tell anyone
It's a secret between you, me & him
Don't tell anybody, okay?
He don't need to be stabbed in the rear anymore
He's been fucked dry enough times for me to write a poem about it!

Not Quite A Hamadryad
Last Christmas
I considered
Wearing a small christmas tree
On my head!
So i could declare
"Look!"
"The christmas tree
Is on top of the fairy
This year!"
But didn't!

Love Is In The Heir!
Valentines Day
Is a very special day
For me this year
I'm kind of looking forward to it
And much good cheer
For upon this day
I receive my monthly pension pay!
How very romantic...well not exactly
However
My pension
Has proffered
To take me out on a date
And said it will pay!
As long as it's not
