Notes About The Poem

With nothing new in my head, I've scoured my slush pile.

Found this...

Thought it might be worth a share..,

 

Love and Marriage - 2024

Oh boy, she was gorgeous and I made mention of bed
She said she really liked me but she won’t until we’re wed
She often said there’s stuff that really ought to be discussed
But I could only think of getting hitched to quench my lust

We did it, we were spouses, and our first dance was real close
I thought that she would realise who wanted who the most
We left our guests to party and I hoped I would impress
And once we were alone I ripped apart her wedding dress

And that was when I wished that we had dallied before marriage
For there and then I found ‘her’ quite extensive undercarriage
‘She’ said, “Why don’t you try it out, I’m sure we will be fine.”
I said, “Why would I play with yours… when I could play with mine?”

Well, ‘she’ looked shocked and what she said caused all my toes to curl
‘She’ looked at me and muttered, “Oh! I thought you were a girl.”
I said, “Are you quite bonkers for you’re talking really weird,
I’m stood here and I’ve got a most extensive ginger beard!”

‘She’ sauntered to the bed and threw me down upon my back
And said, “I’ve got a gift for you and it is never slack.”
‘She’ nipped into the bathroom saying, “You can be the wife.”
‘She’ came back with a sexy smile… and a massive knife!

Terry, Never sign a check with your mouth that your arse can't cash -- as the saying goes... Hilarious write, as is par for the course with your verses. Every one could be a POTD. Really. Excelsior! :) gw

Gershon… you should publish all your asides in a book… I don’t always understand them, but I always get a laugh from them. Glad you enjoyed this one. Terry ;-)

Hello Terry, your poem is an absolute riot! Your clever wordplay and unexpected twists had me grinning from start to finish. And congratulations on being the Poet of the Day! Blessings, Daniel

Thank you, Daniel. I do recall checking this poem to ensure it didn’t take sides… I’m chuffed that having released it, it didn’t cause a furore… yet!

Enthralled with how this marriage fares. Humor recognized in our first transgender POTD. Are congratulations in order or commiserations, Stumpy?

Unfortunately, Arlo, the window was three floors up, so its ’Peg leg’ rather than ‘Stumpy’…. Ha ha… your comment gave me a giggle. Thanks for your congrats. Terry

Terry l just love your humorous Tales as you know! This was a real cracker Ha! Nowhere to be seen then back with a bang and POTD!! Congratulations my funny friend!! Debx

I’ve not gone away, Deb… I just seem to have lost ‘the rhyme’ and ‘rhyme’ is my thing. Strangely, this was written during this time but I couldn’t see its erm… appeal (?). The odd thing is that I see funny everywhere until I try to write funny…. Then my mind goes blank. Right now, though, I’m chuffed with POTD for this effort. Thanks for your congrats and, in the words of a certain Hollywood superstar, “I’ll be back.”

Thanks, Tania. It seems I’m not the best judge of my own efforts… I genuinely felt that this didn’t quite cut it…. What do I know? ;-)

Congratulations on a quite messed up POTD Terry, but always (in the best possible taste) whatever the hell that means, lol! Great to see your work recognised it’s been a while (too long) cheers David

Hi, David. Thanks muchly. It’s a weird thing… I’ve got poems a plenty that I’ve started but can’t see where to take them. If my brain ever clicks back on, I’ll be posting day and night for a month. Terry

Many congratulations dear Terry for POTD with this very funny write as always from you. Great flow and rhyme in your usual wonderful flair. I laughed so much at,’ I’ve got a most extensive ginger beard! Well done. Great to see your name here :):)

In case you’re wondering… I don’t have an extensive ginger beard but I’m pleased the notion gave you a grin. Thanks for your congrats. Terry

Reminds me of that song Lola by The Kinks. “Girls will be boys and boys will be girls, it’s a mixed-up muddled-up shook up world”.

Hey, Keith. Way back when, I’d heard ‘Layla’ in the local pub a couple of times and enjoyed it… now, back then, many shops sold ex duke box records, and I clapped eyes on one that I fancied. I got a bit of a shock when I put what I thought was ‘Layla’ on the turntable and ‘Lola’ started playing. Thanks for dropping by.

Good morning, Deputy Terry, and congratulations on your POTD~ You don't need something new when your old 'stuff' is this good. Well done!!! I gave up years ago, trying to figure out the potd choices. Nothing explains it, and pshawww to the algorithm theory.

Thanks, Lin. I’d sure like a few new ideas to form in my brainbox, but this was certainly an unexpected surprise today. I’d better have a good browse through my ‘not sures’

That’s astounding. Wrote this ages ago, but wasn’t sure it hit the spot. Naturally, I’m chuffed as nuts but confused at 130 reads acquiring 2 comments and yet getting POTD… I’ll never figure it out.
