Equine Buttocks


3 Word Wednesday

this bum is alleged to be insured
for 21 million dollars

 a speed bump that could derail a train
 this giant pin cushion has its own stylist
 Cornelius, who is paid 3 thousand
 dollars a day to maintain it

if it gets sun burn its value will depreciate
there is moral outrage in certain quarters
over this ridiculous and offensive self indulgence

a hue of hypocrisy exists about it all
because without public interest and media hype
no one would have ever heard of kim kardashian

sigh!  a sad indictment of  the ordinary mind
although I do know at least two of my male commenters
who would only  be too happy to do work experience
with Cornelius as assistant bum stylists to the stars

Mothers Day


poetry jam: midweek motif poets united

it's mother's day on sunday
another lovely lunch
And
although i am a mother
i'm still a little child
i miss those arms about me
when blue and feeling down
a cup of tea and bikkies
a big hug and kiss
to wipe away my tears
always a parcel of goodies
to take home and a note
squeezed into my palm
'buy something nice to cheer yourself up darling'
i will always be Mummy's girl
i miss her








I Talk To The Trees


dverse

if you want to keep a secret
don't tell it to the trees

the whispering grass tells
them everything and they
tell the birds and bees

they worry about chain saws
so they tell everything they know

cos they aint going to be around
long enough to put on a spectacular show.

Haiku Horizons

telephone number




marriage commitment
with this ring i thee wed til
i break my shackles






wagners ring cycle
teutonic music for war
valkyries hell ride




ring round the rosy
ring a ring a rosy the
symptoms of the plague





Arrgh! remember this
swedish terrorism in
the pop music field

Spike Milligan


I Must Go Down To The Sea Again

I must go down the the sea again
To the lonely sea and the sky
I left my socks and shoes there
I wonder if they're dry

Hamlet

Said hamlet to Orphelia
" I'll do a sketch of thee
What kind of pencil shall I use
2B or not 2B."

Pigeons

Tis due to pigeons
That alight
On Nelson's Hat
That makes it white

Spike Milligan 1918 - 2002

Persephone



A Shakespearean Sonnet for dverse

her hair flowed freely as she did her dance
beneath the clouds in dainty seamless grace
admired by smitten swains her form enhanced
with golden ringlets blowing in her face
she drove them mostly mad unto distraction
her ink blue eyes could pierce a milk white heart
to purple hue love arrows shot in  action
from  cupid's bow frieze drawn and poised in art
the slate grey sky did split the earth and rumble
a gnarled black hand grabbed tight and pulled her down
to darkness had-es bleak with rolling tumble
where no bird lived in realm of moans and frown
she ate the seeds and acted out of kindness
not knowing that she'd sealed her fate with blindness

Let's Do French For The Weekend..Woot !








Oh I wish I had found this before, instead of trying to get the lyrics from just the song,Grrrr!

Elle me dit
She tells me
Ecris une chanson contente
Write a happy song
Pas une chanson deprimante
Not a depressing song
Un chanson que tout le monde aime
A song that everyone likes

Elle me dit
She tells me
Tu deviendras un milliardaire
You'll become a billionaire
T'auras  do quoi etre fier
You will be proud of yourself
Ne finis pas comme ton pere
Don't end up like your father

Elle me dit
She tells me
Ne t'en fermes pas dans ta chambre
Don't lock your self in your room
Dis-moi  c'est quoi ton probleme
Tell me what is your problem
Vas-y secoue- toi et danse
Come on get moving and dance

Elle me dit
She tells me
Quest -ce que t'as t'as l'air coince
What's up you seem very uptight
Tu es defonce ou t'es gai
Are you high or are you gay
Tu finiras comme ton frere
You will end up like your brother

Elle me dit
She tells me

CHORUS
Fais ce que tu veux, tant pis
Do what you want, I don't care
Un jour tu comprendras
One day you will understand
Un jour tu t'en voudras
One day you'll blame yourself

Sors un peu de ta bulle
Pop out of your little bubble
On dirait que t'amait ca
Looks like you enjoy it

Pourquoi tu gaches ta vie
Why are you wasting your life
Danse Danse Danse

Va taper dans un ballon
Go kick a ball around
Tu deviendras populaire
You will be popular

El me dit
She tells me
Qu'est -ce que tu fous internet
Why are mucking around on the internet
Ca va pas bien dans sa tete
You're not right in the head
Regards le temps que tu perds
Look at the time you're wasting
Pourquoi tu te plains tout le temps
Why do you complain all the time
On dirait que t'as huit ans
You seem like an eight year old
C'est pas comme ca que tu vas me plaire
That's not how you are going to please me

Elle me dit
she tells me
Un jour je sera plus la
One day I'll be gone
Mais c'est quand elle me dit ca
But that's when she tells me this
Elle me dit

Qu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime
She tells me something that I like

Elle me dit 
she tells me
c'est ta vie
it's your life

CHORUS 
Tu fais n'importe quoi
You're messing around
On dira
We will say
Pourquoi tu gaches ta vie
Why are you wasting your life
Danse Danse Danse Danse 

Elle me dit
she tells me
T'as pas encore des cheveux blancs
You don't have white hair yet
Mais   trente ans
Faudrait que tu te reveiller
You'd better wake up
Tu es toujours un enfant
You are still a child
Tu ne seras jamais grand
You will never grow up
Et moi je suis deja vieille
Me I'm already old
Regarde un peu tes amis
Take a look at your friends
Qu'est-ce qu'ils vont faire
de leur vie
What are they going to do with their lives
Y'a de quoi se foutu en l'air
That's something really scary
Oui un jour tu me tueras
Yes one day you will be the death of me


to be cont.
maybe one day
