This poem, text only, is included in my latest Book/eBook ‘Clive’s Uni-Verse – A Cornishman’s take on life’.  ISBN13: 9781800743342 published by Olympia Publishers in Jan 2022.

Do you ever wonder How you would be viewed, If you became extensively – Extensively tattooed? Would you be transformed Into a real cool dude, If you became extensively – Extensively tattooed? Would your partner join you, Or would the suggestion be pooh-poohed, If you became extensively – Extensively tattooed? Would you bare all, But not feel nude, If you became extensively – Extensively tattooed? Do you think the artwork Could help lift your mood, If you became extensively – Extensively tattooed? Do you think it would change My critical attitude, If I too became extensively – Extensively tattooed?

I can't imagine you with even one tatoo, let alone 'extensively tatooed' lol. ... ~ Intensively untatooed P.S. I think that it would change your life dramatically, actually. Mine, too. We might have all sorts of 'new friends.' lol. While we're at it, might as well get nose rings too. :)

Ha, ha! Yes, you've definitely caught me out on this one! I am making full use of my 'Poetic Licence' on this one. As you have already guessed, I, personally, don't like tattoos, but, nevertheless, wanted to represent those who do, within the poem. I'm not keen on nose rings either!! :) ~ Clive
