Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

PICTURE  VESUVIUS FROM POSILLIPO BY JOSEPH WRIGHT OF DERBY

I'M Taking the 'Mickey'

I found MESHELL lying on the sand
With a ROSIE glow on her skin
She wanted it to turn OLIVE brown
But she looked like a roasted chicken!

We wandered into the JADE WALTER
EnJOYed a swim and a long paddle
Then went to find her beach towel
Where an eNORMAs man was straddled

You’re taking the MICKEY I told him
Give MESHELL back her beach towel
He said don’t be so picky … he was quite CURT
I’ll HARRY on back to my fowl

He lived locally with his maiden ANT
And he scarpered back home to his GLEN
If he’d touched MESHELL I would DEC him
I can’t abide RANDY predatory old men!

I’d seen him on his TODD at the Karaoke club
He was very ANDY behind the MIKE
Wearing ripped GENES and RAY bans
He’d BOB around then go home on his bike

Andrea Dietrich November 13, 2016 at 12:39 PM that is good, Jan. I could understand most of it. I don't get the Todd joke and is there really the name ANT? I guess they don't pronounce the H in handy? That one I figured out for Andy!! GREAT job. (loved Meshell) Jan Allison November 13, 2016 at 12:43 PM On his todd means on his own:-) Ant is short for Anthony and Dec short for Declan - they are two famous entertainers in the UK. Meshell is a spelling of Michelle that I have seen here on the IOM - I think the lady is question is from the US originally. :-) hugs Jan xx
