Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 2)
Here's a cheerful one to brighten all your flowery hearts.
I’ve given up my search for the truth
Tis only a dream to be held by the youth
I’ve abandoned my hopes of harmony complete
I’m sick of the lot right up to my teeth
Eternal rest seems more alluring
And the promise of a heaven reassuring
So if you happen to glance at my stone
I tried, so f—k off and leave me alone.
This is Mars Barr’s epitaph, excuse the bad word but it’s the only headstone in our cemetery with the ‘F’ word on it.

So the only things I use are ebay and here,
But you're all leaving-is it coz of me?
I've already been chucked off other threads
because participants didn't like my humour;
I even got told that my heart is ice-cold,
[it's not-that's just a harsh rumour]
I think I'll give this laptop away;
I prefer guitars-long live 'treble clef'!
It only gets use when I'm coming on here,
but soon there'll be nobody left........[sob]
I love reading the Leisurely Scribbles thread .... well done to Jem for starting it and you 'lads' for bringing a smile to my face

Just to let you know this topic is appreciatedI always pop in to read your fluff
your clever verses typed in the rough,
you may think so few of us care
about your leisurely, scribbled fare,
but some peep in, so please don't stop
for your daily meandering, we would not swap

The lady with the wooden legNo one knew how it happened
The lass with the neat wooden leg
And no one knew that she had one
Until along came Bill Murphy and dog Fred
They became an inseparable couple
Walked arm in arm through Skegness
But Bill insisted that Fred followed discreetly
Just a nose length from the ladies silk dress
The mayor donned his cap, the alderman too
The lady smiled meekly and Bill beamed through and through
They stopped for a moment and then Bill felt some dread
It was then that the dog cocked and peed on her leg!

Lovely one Gumbud.Thanks Mags and you Solo for your lovely poem and kind words.
So you see Gumbud somebody does look in here now and then, that’s torn it for me now, I used to be able to come in here and have a nap with nobody around for miles to disturb me.

Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 2)
Here is a old rhyme I came across, it can't be that old as the word Quiz is fairly new as words go.A boy and a girl went out hiking,
Of course they were both wearing shorts.
They called at the old Pig and Whistle
And ordered a couple of quarts.
They came home late that evening,
And the neighbours all started to quiz,
For he came home wearing her shorts,
And she came home wearing his.
