    Friday Poetry Corner

    So Farewell
    Then Kenny Rodgers
    You picked a fine Time
    To Leave us

    I guess you knew
    When to hold 'em
    And then to fold 'em

    Now in these
    Terrible Times
    We are all Islands
    In the stream

    E.J. Thribb (17.5 rpm)

    The boy stood on the burning deck,
    His pockets full of crackers.
    One went off to his surprise,
    And blew off both his knackers.....
    The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

      For those of you who like arranging things alphabetically (you know who you are)

      The Siege of Belgrade


      AN Austrian army, awfully arrayed,
      Boldly by battery besieged Belgrade.
      Cossack commanders cannonading come,
      Dealing destruction's devastating doom.
      Every endeavor engineers essay,
      For fame, for fortune fighting - furious fray!
      Generals 'gainst generals grapple - gracious God!
      How honors Heaven heroic hardihood!
      Infuriate, indiscrminate in ill,
      Kindred kill kinsmen, kinsmen kindred kill.
      Labor low levels longest, lofiest lines;
      Men march 'mid mounds, 'mid moles, ' mid murderous mines;
      Now noxious, noisey numbers nothing, naught
      Of outward obstacles, opposing ought;
      Poor patriots, partly purchased, partly pressed,
      Quite quaking, quickly "Quarter! Quarter!" quest.
      Reason returns, religious right redounds,
      Suwarrow stops such sanguinary sounds.
      Truce to thee, Turkey! Triumph to thy train,
      Unwise, unjust, unmerciful Ukraine!
      Vanish vain victory! vanish, victory vain!
      Why wish we warfare? Wherefore welcome were
      Xerxes, Ximenes, Xanthus, Xavier?
      Yield, yield, ye youths! ye yeomen, yield your yell!
      Zeus', Zarpater's, Zoroaster's zeal,
      Attracting all, arms against acts appeal!

        There once was a man from Leeds,
        Who swallowed a packet of seeds.
        Within half an hour
        His cock was a flower
        And his balls were covered in weeds
        .

          There was an old abbess of Bicester,
          Who strapped a courgette on a Sister,
          Who buggered a Brother,
          While felching the Mother
          And getting the Bishop to fist 'er.

            I hold your hand in mine - T Lehrer

            I hold your hand in mine, dear
            I press it to my lips
            I take a healthy bite from
            Your lovely fingertips

            My joy would be complete, dear
            If you were only here
            But still I keep your hand
            As a lovely souvenir

            The night you died I cut it off
            I really don't know why
            For now each time I kiss it
            I get bloodstains on my tie

            I'm sorry now I killed you
            For our love was something fine
            Until they come to get me
            I shall hold your hand in mine
            …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

              I tried to think of something witty
              A verse to make you laugh
              But all you get is this rubbish ditty
              And this picture of a giraffe

                    The Boring old man of the Board

                    There was a boring old man from this Board
                    Who was inclined several Toilet Rolls to Hoard
                    When asked of their Function
                    He replied sans Compunction
                    That curmudgeonous Old Man of this Board

                    "Now you know what the toilet paper was for ..." Frankie Boyle on Pornhubs decison to grant free access to their primier service for Italy
