Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

TIME & MOTION

Why does life always go forward and not back
wouldn’t it be great if we developed the knack

Of saying “see you yesterday” if you did so choose
That way never a day you’d lose.

Life grinds on mercilessly every day
That’s because time goes only one way

Backwards AND forwards is the only solution
Going forwards will have an ending gruesome

Life goes on tirelessly every day
This is what I’d like to say

Why does gravity pull things down always
There’d be more room if stuff went straight up
You could tie important stuff down in safe ways
You could easily retain just enough
Cups and saucers bowls and plates
Of course at first you’d make mistakes
The stuff would not always be very near
But you’d soon find ways to save it floating up to the stratosphere

A tisket a tasket
Everyone take a basket
And fill it up with thymes and rhymes
And put them in the casket

Then take it to the mortuary
We they perform the torturey
And burn them to a cindered ash
A powered bag of poetry

The undertaker smiled as we passed by
Upon one figure he had his eye
He seemed to know when it was time
“I’ll pick the one who makes it rhyme”

Leisurely scribbles well indeed
They have no time for those in need
Last of the summer wine they say
The undertaker just passed this way

I knew a man who knew another
And he knew wild bill hiccocks brother
Rode the ranges and the prairies
Started talkin to the fairies

They took him to the mortuary boffin
Where he was measured for a coffin
Cedar wood or prairie oak
Asked the man in hat and coat

The man wrote down his leisurely scribbles
Whilst the undertaker dribbled
Did he say twas cedar oak
or twas it prairie artichoke?

If he shrinks whilst getting older
Can we get a discounted soldier
He served his country well they said
But it went all to his head

Whats with all the leisurely dribbles
Beer stained shirts acoat with nibbles
We’ve gone a whiter shade of pale
Ah I think I’ve hit it on the nail

SAy what? EPIC

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

I knew a man who had just turned thirty
He changed his manner, became quite flirty
Hows he going to cope with what’s been done
When he reaches thirty one,


I met a man who walked askew
It was hard to know whether or not he knew
Or was he just a little weird
It transpired that it was the latter
Just as as I had feared,

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

There was a man called Robert Jay
I don’t know why he walks that way
He’s worked among the greatest names
But his constant walkin has turned to pains

He’s seen them all from kings to paupers
And caught some ladies in the torpors
His family tree is quite astounding
His Uncle Vivian takes some pounding

His greatest asset is his pen
Sometimes poisoned for us men
But he keeps us on our tipsy toes
Staring at us down his nose

We love his tales with sarcastic wit
Which he delivers dish by dish
But would we be without the bard
Oh my NO he is a card!!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

The very best person about whom to write a poem
Is a member of your gang-coz that way you know'im.
It's not that there's no expertise in the prose,
It's more a case of the Cool Kid,hangin' wit' his bro's.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Well how does one follow that, as the man with the ball and chain said. An explosion of poetic wit!, nay a nuclear blast of raw creation, sweet wine to the parched peasant. You lot really are on top form lately, was it something you drank?
God only knows what you’d come up with if you drink any of MKJ’s home made Sherry when it’s matured.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

who's MKJ is that a new Japanese car??

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Who’s MKJ? good God man you may as well ask me who’s the Pope.
He is a fine upstanding young man and an excellent hand at the poetry, have a look at some of his poems in his own tread. Some of them are very deep as he’s a deep thinker, whereas me, I’m just a common tinker.
In my opinion too much thinking is bad for you, one could easily go round the twist if one was to try and figure out everything, most of the important stuff that makes the whole existence thing work is not meant to be understood by microbes like us, much as it might came as a shock to many, but we simply don't count.
