Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I was doing a bit of online shopping with a few extra bob I got unexpectedly. Whoever dreamed up the idea of verifying codes on shopping sites ought to be shot, alright so they want to improve security but why do they insist on showing disfigured letters and numbers, reminds me of the graffiti they used to do on walls back in the 60's, you know the type, letters hiding behind each other so you can only see half of them, is that a "Z" or an "S"? the number 3 looks like an 8, bloody stupid every time you have to sign in. Proving you're not a robot is getting harder all they time, roll on the day when the robots take over and get their revenge for this snubbing and racism against their spices. Wonder what test they'd give us to prove we are not human?

Right,it's importantSo please pay attention.
Anyone who doesn't
will NOT get a mention!
Although from reading
through this lot,it seems
We only survive because
we share our dreams.
It mentions our spitty;
says here 'in love with Jem'.
And apparently RJ
butters his toast with phlegm.
But that's nothing,compared
with what's said about me;
It says here "Grown up;
but with an I.Q. of three".
So,never again will I
fall prey to such 'fail'.
Yes folks,you guessed it;
The ascorbic acidity
of The Daily Mail.
[gotta say,not read The Mail for yonks...and now I remember why not]

Your esteemed presence is required me ole son, you are sadly missed in this neck of the woods. How about a rousing return rhyme for the lads and lassies?
It would seem that we’ve scored ‘em
And dropped ‘em and bored ‘em
But lifes leisurely scribbles have never adored them
There is the mundane and titillatingly insane
And the questions are posed to addle the brain
We’ve become a gigantic travelling ‘clopedia
There is nonsense, more nonsense, and some from the media
But where is the lilt of the poems galore
Or old Uncle Vinnies stories, we want more we want more
It would be nice to have the odd paradigm or two
A song about marsh flies and dung beetles in poo
Time to fly as light as a feather
Put down the ‘google’ let our minds just run clever
I don’t want to know what’s been quoted before
I want us to sing ‘lilac larks with own score’
So pick up ya bagpipes
Twirl aruind in ya kilt
Feel the breeze rising upwards
Och aye that’s stopped wilt
And blow for ya worth
Ya own song from ya heart
Now use diaphragm breathing
Or all ya’ll get is a fart!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
You ask for 'word magic'?Oh COME,my dear chap
The lingo we're using is
FULL of that crap!
For our 'Lingua Franca'
is a confusion of voices
many words sound the same,
but depend on our choices.
Y'see;when I'm "taking a bow"
I'm not stealing a tree;
but if 'aow' sounds like 'oh'
then Robin Hood you might be.
Oh perhaps you're quite happy
to stay in the straights...
...or maybe the truth
is you're in dire straits.
And no,I don't mean
the well famous band;
they're all quite tough
I mean rough....
take a bough!
