Poem
Unquotable quotes – VII What comes in through one ear goes out through the rear. Give him a wench and, he’ll want her to be French. Give him an inch and he’ll take no small pinch. Better be swallowed by a whale than be torn to shreds by a shark of a girl in a gale. The praying mantis kills after she copulates in bliss ; the predatory woman drills a hole in your bank account first before she kills for a thrill. The banana kills its bearer for the latter cannot bear another. Take the pillow but not the widow Marry her sister if she’s fatter. Frogs in a well croak well in hell. A crab walking straight is out of gait. (continuing the series from UQ - VI) We are all sinners under bums. We are all looters under swarms. We are all marchers under drums. We are all dreamers under balms. We are all loafers under palms. We are all voters under domes. We are all soupers under poems. for Chrissie Morris-Brady If you call a spade a jade, you’ve got it made But if you call a maid a jade, you’re likely to get laid Though if you call a maid in bed, you’re going to get wed Yet if you call a maid to bed, you’re sure to be up-fed. If you call a maid in a hurry, you’re likely to be sorry Or if you call a maid in a lorry, you’re bound to worry. If you called a lad dad, he’d likely not be glad Yet if you called the lad bad, he’d certainly be sad But if you called the lad mad, he’s bound to think you a grad. If you called a nerd a turd, you could possibly get furred But if you thought a Lord bored, you probably will get bored Yet if you called a Lord a toad, he’ll have you all towed. Then if you called a Knight tight, he’ll challenge you to a fight. If you called a Baron daemon, he’ll think you were a doorman. If you refer to Jude as a nude, you’re likely to get screwed And refer to the nude as lewd, you’re bound to get brewed And think of Dude as crude, there’s bound to be a feud. If you called a squid a quid, it’s bound to think like a Druid. If you call what you said dead, you’ll never ever get read If you thought home food good, you must be a real hood And rely on your word two-third, you sure are a dud. © T. Wignesan – Paris, 2016
