No Sh1t Sherlock

[Inspired by ‘Stating The Obvious’
Contest but doesn’t meet the spec]


Millionaire, Bartholomew Fairfax
Admitted today, he ‘forgot’ to pay tax

Goodness gracious, well I never
Knock me over with a feather
Who’d have thought it
Pull the other one

And this from his latest press release
The girl on his arm was not his niece

You’re kidding, no way
No sh1t Sherlock, you don’t say
Tell me something I don’t know
Shut the front door, I’ll be blowed

His jewel bedecked wife in her large golden carriage
Is backing her man for the sake of their marriage 

Who’d have guessed it, Gosh, who knew 
Crikey, Get away with you,
Well I’m gobsmacked,
I was not born yesterday

Still to come in The News tonight
Two youths in a pub have been in a fight
And the final result in formula one...
The man in the fastest car has won

Goodness gracious, well I never
Knock me over with a feather
Who’d have thought it
Pull the other one

A Poetry Soup without a Terry Flood poem that makes me laugh is like a day without sunshine - like, you know, night. :)

Thanks Gary. Dragged this out of the slush pile. Bit of Lippy here and there to make it presentable and let it loose. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Terry, I love this. LOL. So full of the obvious and so well-done. Good job! I'm sorry you missed the contest.

Hey Milt. I’ve sat on this, unsure if it works. But my mind is a black hole right now, so I’m tidying stuff I haven’t posted and ‘risking it’. As such, I’m glad you enjoyed. Terry
