    Friday Poetry Corner reloaded

    Seems ages since we had a regular update on Friday Poetry Corner, so here goes

    Hull Hath No Fury Like A Poet Scorned

    I refuse to enter
    the East Yorkshire Arts Centre
    after someone who works there
    said my poems were tulip.

    Not for all the tea in China
    would I degrade myself and enter
    the East Yorkshire Arts centre
    after someone who works there
    said I was semi-illiterate.

    No. I will never ever enter
    the East Yorkshire Arts centre
    after someone who works there
    said I was many things but not a poet.

    I know she's not been well
    since her husband ran off with a slag
    but taking it out on me
    and my wonderful poetry
    won't make me give him back.

    What would Antony Gormley have to say about that?

    I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

      There once was a lady called Hilda
      Who went on a date with a builder
      He put down his bricks
      and jumped in her knicks
      And in doing so damn nearly killed 'er

      His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

        There was an art show in York
        Into which a slag did walk
        The woman was chubby
        So the slag stole her hubby
        Cos he needed to learn how to pork.
        The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

          accingunt omnes operi pedibusque rotarum
          subiciunt lapsus, et stuppea vincula collo
          intendunt; scandit fatalis machina muros
          feta armis. pueri circum innuptaeque puellae
          sacra canunt funemque manu contingere gaudent;
          But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the younger

            There was a young sailor from Brighton,
            Who said to his girl, "You're a tight one."
            She replied, "Bless my soul,
            You're in the wrong hole;
            There's plenty of room in the right one."

              If that's supposed to be a limerick, it could do with a couple of shorter lines. How does this sound?

                A combustible woman from Thang
                Exploded one day with a BANG!
                The maid then rushed in
                And said with a grin,
                'Pardon me, madam - you rang?'
