I Wish - Not For Contest

I wish that I was a born a man I‘d drink beer straight out of a can I’d play football and darts Laugh about smelly farts And not bother about a spray tan My motor would be very flash A Ferrari would cost lots of cash I would not have a care About my balding hair I’m loaded, can afford to be brash I’d develop a really cool swagger Strut about like singer Mick Jagger With my huge beer belly I’d lounge by the telly If wifey moaned then I’d just bag er! Fiction write Inspired by I wish I was a Contest Sponsored by Viv Wigley 3/5/18

If you were a man just like me// you'd learn to piddle silently// exaggerate the size// of the bits by your thighs// and man boobs in a size double d. :)

Too funny!!...And glad you're NOT a man, by the way. I mean, my gosh, such high standards for the rest of us men to have live up to. I don't think any of us could, except for maybe old Donald Trump. (I'm assuming for now that he actually is a man, and not an illegal alien or space alien, or whatever). Best wishes, gw

Thanks for the lovely comment:-) Not everyone appreciates my humour John but at the end of the day they don't have to read me or more importantly write negative comments on my poem as happened earlier:-) hugs jan xx

Yeuk - don't mention JC - he has a lighthouse property over here and was not popular with the locals when he blocked off a footpath that went past the property:-( hugs Jan xx

Many love your limericks, Jan...bawdy or not. I don't usually comment on those and you're fully aware as to why. But I never make fun of the humor you bring to the site and anyone who wants to chastise you for doing so in whatever form you choose should refrain from reading you.

Jan Allison

Tommy you've removed your previous comments. You have made it clear you disapprove of the poem and the picture so why keep visiting the poem unless its just to stir the pot once more.

Lin Lane
Date: 5/5/2018 2:50:00 PM

Wrong and you can save your sarcasm and waste it on someone else. I've repeatedly asked you not to respond to my comments and yet here you are again, intruding where you're not wanted. I'll not be around, checking to see if you need to have the last word, so take it if your ego overrides your conscience.

It's best to ignore the ignorance of the ignorant. I think I posted something like that a while back. You're none of those things, to which many can attest. His arrows aren't poisoned, but he thinks they prick.

Jan Allison
Date: 5/5/2018 9:47:00 AM

oh I see he's done his usual trick of firing poisoned arrows then retracting them - well I am glad the comments are gone as he intimated I was 'fattist', racist ,and against disabled people which is totally untrue and very hurtful. hugs jan xx

Lin Lane

I wouldn't have removed the pic, Jan. Anyone who knows you would certainly know you don't intentionally hurt the feelings of anyone. If that man had an issue with his picture being online he would've had it removed. Nothing you write needs defending, and you've never used racism in a poem, so it never should've been mentioned by some ne're do well.

It was freely available on the web and didn't have a copyright image but I'll find something else:-) hugs jan xx

Lin Lane
Date: 5/4/2018 12:36:00 PM

nor should you remove it

Jan Allison
Date: 5/4/2018 12:33:00 PM

I couldn't agree more Lin, I will try and find a more 'suitable' image ... but I won't remove the poem :-):-) hugs Jan xx

Jan Allison

Glad it made you smile CayCay, I've now written a third poem and posted that for the contest:-) hugs jan xx

Good stuff, Jan, but I would never wish for this misery. You seem very inspired today to do limericks. Let me check out the third one I saw. I am using Joe's laptop up in the bedroom tonight!! I have tons of catching up to do.

I can do all of that stuff as a woman, but this is a darling poem, and I hope you win the prize, because with words like farts, and Ferrari and huge beer belly it would be a travesty if you did not win.

Jan Allison
Date: 5/3/2018 2:49:00 PM

lol Caren:-) I am submitting a single limerick for the contest as I'm unsure if I can submit more than one , I just want to make Mr Viv laugh if he sees this poem:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan Allison
Date: 5/3/2018 2:40:00 PM

I'm seeing if Viv will accept more than one stanza for the contest:-) hugs jan xx

Paul Callus

Date: 5/3/2018 12:29:00 PM

A witty flowing set of Limericks, Jan. At first I thought of Onslow in 'Keeping Up Appearances', but he was too lazy to 'bag' anyone! Hugs // paul

Jan Allison

Pat Adams

This is a good one Jan. It is so smooth I didn't even realize it was limericks! I see the signature farts are still there!...80).....(Bag her?!) Ha! I think a man needs a moustache, but the food looks great! A remote and a beer. Heck yeah!!!

Jan Allison
Date: 5/3/2018 9:37:00 AM

ha ha ha I was trying to be subtle with bag her hee heee hee:-) hugs jan xx

Mike Gentile

Date: 5/3/2018 9:21:00 AM

and I am wondering what came first the picture or the poem, too funny. PS, we are all not like that !!! Great one, Jan

Jan Allison
Date: 5/3/2018 9:23:00 AM

lol Mike its a tongue in cheek poem :-) The poem came first, in fact the poem for the contest came first and then I expanded it with this poem. I'm not sure if Viv is after 1 poem or if a string of poems is acceptable:-) hugs jan xx
