Cheeky!
I don't like bums!
They kind of put me off
Small, medium, or large
It doesn't matter
Bum, arse, bottom
Shakespeare chose Bottom, over Bum!
Neither names offer any inspiration poetically
Thankfully, the French do bums with poetic finesse
Derriere!
Which sounds much more civilised than other options
Whereas, backside doesn't make sense
Backside: 'on the back, but to the side?
Which would require, a completely new rethink
On the design of toilets!
Also, keeping things on this nonsensical level
How come when toasting...

Going Batty
There's an antique bat
In my attic
So i call it my battic
Not to be confused with batique
Which would be more unique
Although i could have
An antique batique bat in my attic
Although the bat, is on my black velvet hat
No attics actually involved
And the bat on my hat
Is not actually antique
So the bat is on the belfry
A belfry without bells
Thus a bell free belfry
A belle in the bell free belfry
Sounds like Esmerelda being summoned
"The belles! the belles!
Quasis mo jo
Not appealing
No end to...

You believe me, right?
I feel sorry for you women
I can see why so many of you hate men
I listen to guys and the bullshit that comes out of their mouths
Quite pathetic, I must admit
I'm sure it must really insult your intelligence
Sounds like their still in grade school, doesn't it?
It's like they never grew up
What a drag it must be
It's hilarious how much importance they put on your anatomy
It's as if they exist only to get in your pants
Like you have some kind of life saving device stashed up there
You know we're all not like that
Some of us have a grip...

The Parallel Pixie
I was twirling my pen around, inbetween my fingers
Trying to think of what i should write about next
(Not realising that my act of pen twirling
Was equivalent to rubbing a genies lamp!)
When a pixie-like entity entered my room
Saying "I can grant you one wish!"
"Only one!" i said "I was expecting three!"
(In reality, i wasn't expecting ever to be granted a wish!)
"You're right" said the pixie genie person (do pixies have pronouns?)
She continued....."But we've had to make
Some very painful...

Me Cat. Com!
I know i'm in my sixties now
I'm not in denial of how
(Which means i am!)
Lies, lies, damn lies!!!
I'm actually twenty seven
With the curiousity of a cat
I'm a cat in a hat
With wings of a butterfly
(The cat ate the body, but left the wings!)
Poor butterfly, for goodness sake
That it should be used in a cake
Then end up in my mouth
As if by mistake!

Skinny Dipping
Some people
Have told me
you see
That i have skin
that is lovely
Which is fine
As long as
They have
no intentions
Of
turning me
And
making me chic
Into
a lampshade
EEEEK!

Reincarnation
Ive reincarnated loads of times!
Everytime i moved town
Ive started a new life
With new, and sometimes
Profound consequences
Now all, are ghost towns
Losts in the mists
Of long forgotten memories
For now i have found
My final carnation (like tinned milk)
A bit disappointed really
I was hoping for better
But i have no manufacturers warranty
So i'll have to settle for being THIS!!!

Baked Beings
For breakfast
I shall have bats wings
And mermaids tails
As sirens sing
And chips
And maybe, just maybe
A side dish of baked beings!
Not yet a Heinz variety
The more you eat
The more you impart
Especially, if these baked beings
Are only half baked!

I Nose My Prose!
Words flow from me
Like a runny nose
Fluid inspiration
Like nasal condensation
However: a blocked nose
Is no good for prose
It all goes skew-whiff
If you can't even sniff
And if one sneezes
Words flow quickly on the breezes
Scattered, wild, and untamed
Passions now contagious, and inflamed
I'll follow my instincts, and not my nose
Where this will take me, nobody knows
So i'll have a quick snifter, not a sniff
Liquid inspiration, as i fall off a cliff
My instincts proved, thus to be wrong ...

Razor-Blades
Slippery like a serpent with an agenda for war
Born on third base and believes he hit a triple
Empty vessel on lease to some corporate whore
Emotional ignorance hides an intellectual cripple
Words are razor-blades irritating his fragile soul
Constant reminders that he doesn’t measure up
Heavy handed hypocrite is prone to lose control
Only brand that matters is plastered on his cup
