Whispering Grass
the sergeant major
hams it up with his little
songbird friend in a safari hat
a crazed duo
having a musical conversation
about whispering grass
conversing with trees
a loony toon special
from the series
it aint half hot mum
in a gentler time
when humour
based on silliness
was more creative and clever

Clever humour. How I miss those times. How have we come to thinking profanity, insult and belittling are the only wells to draw humour, or what passes for it, from?
ReplyDeleteWell said, J.
DeleteThank you for the introduction
ReplyDeleteOh yes. I'm with you here. Thank you for making poetry of it. But I rarely watch children's shows. Maybe some intelligent gentle silliness is there?
ReplyDeleteI love the sparkling wit and humor in your verse :)
ReplyDeleteYes, some of that humour might be considered unsophisticated now but it was very funny.
ReplyDeleteMusical conversations, especially humorous ones, are some of the best!
ReplyDeleteBritish humour at its best. I wouldn't mind seeing repeats of that show again, wasn't it called "It ain't half hot Mum"?
ReplyDeleteIndeed, that kind of humor seems to be a thing of the past! Sadly.
ReplyDeleteOh you expressed that well and indeed that was a clever and humourus series
ReplyDeleteGood solid silly humor is not seen so much anymore. Love this!
ReplyDeleteSigh... Yes, indeed, Rall. The good old days of silly humour and witty exchanges between intelligent comedians, unforced (and often simple) and simply funny comedy. Nice one!
