In the folly of the posh
They would say golly gosh
Or probably just josh
About the white wash
Come out with some tosh
An off their trolley volley
As on the poor they nosh
Already under their cloche
But still they just kibosh
Plunder as migrants squash
Cast asunder by their cosh
AI blunder we cannot quash
Thunder of the slop & slosh
It's sh*t in the pit of mosh
But it is all about the dosh
So bish bash bosh
in midtown, twin clock towers chime.
their peal resembling tumbling coins.
procrastination, now a crime,
consummate idleness purloins.
youth may clutch her bottled seconds
to transact on a rainy day.
she addresses urgent errands.
handsome faces gallop away.
i've seen my own spring and wither
between these effortless minutes.
cherished vanity's coy sliver,
wasteful without observed limits.
i'm liquor-free and off-caffeine,
walking in sunlight on cool grass.
crunch my vegetables, staying lean,
extra sands upon the hourglass.
lost my rosaries. almanacs!
are charming nooses, rave and posh
pocket planners build sky-high stacks.
moments have no spares, cut the bosh.
shouldn't spend my flowers wantonly,
chastising walls, scaling degrees.
there's never enough time, truly
to claim wealth from its poverty.
The Barmy Army still wading among the dung
After Ashes tsunami any new songs now sung
Aussies smarmy but new Harmy..Josh Tongue
Dream of gung ho team does seem far flung
Baz loves betting & forgetting.. took a bung?
Beyond reproach coach on to job has clung
Some fans jest but suggest should be hung
For bish bash bosh tosh Mac attack’s brung
Yep Jacob up his eponymous ladder swung
Radder bowler Josh has climbed many a rung
Cruel BazBull rule made us all madder..stung
Cool fool with incontinent bladder & one lung
New flair heirs did woo with their foo & kung
We coo pair made us gladder.. despair wrung
No longer unsung.. Bet Hell & its fiery Tongue
Come to me with a heart truly sincere,
I am fed up of your games and eyewash;
And your pure pretenses in every sphere,
Stop existing like a capricious bosh...!
Don't act like living and live like acting,
Though life has sequence of action each stage;
When acts, by flaunts and flirts, turn distracting,
Life remains void ever; an empty page...!
Hypocrisy is not a stage-manner,
Potent actors are never white-washed tombs;
Truth, often, like a rigorous scanner,
Pierces through even tightly secured rooms...!
Learn from flowers that never in life bluff,
Living a life fully true too is tough...!
13 July 2022
Oh my gosh!
Utter bosh...
Waves swash,
Watery slosh,
Simply awash,
Auto wash...
Oughta quash?
Lost me galosh!
That's not posh.
Put the kibosh-
Don't josh!
Jamie says
Bish bosh
Cushdy
Mash everything together
Simple so easy to make
Nigella sucks her fingers and utters
Phrases you need a dictionary to decipher
But the only thing everyone wants to know
Is ?
Is the food actually any good
Or are they talking complete crap
Just using different words and accent's
OH! What A Wonderful Day.
There's Billy Bosh and Tommy Blease
and Frankie Welch with knobbly knees.
Theresa Moon and Shirley Lake
running and splashing about in the lake
enjoying their play on this hot sunny day
Oh! What a wonderful day.
Then Kevin Macey kissing Stacey
underneath the Willow tree.
Joseph Frost and Jackie Green
sunbathing on the bank.
As Selby sails his bright blue boat
when it hit a rock and sank.
Oh! What a wonderful day.
A wonderful day, I hear you say
Yes what a wonderful day.
Oh! Yes what a wonderful day.
Topic of Conversation (Heroic Couplet)
Say what you want about the man in black
You think he cares about that, he got stacks.
Akron Ohio was his home sweet home
LeBron is the man dunking on your dome.
Was once called the chosen one in Cleveland
People was now upset he was leavin
Let to be united in Miami,
Bosh and Wade said to him, whats up homie.
He has fought the critics and the people
now this mountain is ever so steep though.
Now he has help he can really count on,
while I now scream, go LeBron go LeBron.
Scoring forty eight on Detroit was great
this night was something not to recreate.
This man was even once called overrated,
this nonsense made me feel so much hatred.
He still is one of the best in the league,
look at his stats and you can clearly see.
I bet you LeBron wins a ring this year.
When he does, Dan Gilbert will shed a tear.
Its not much fun for the lowly sheep
They only eat and crap and sleep
But when the shepherd brings the ram
Its bish bash bosh “Why thank you ma am”
Then lets the old tup through the gate
His flock of ewes to impregnate
I think I'll do the wash today so much
Has piled up since. But then the shopping must
Be done, of this I am convinced. How such
Predicaments evolved? I guess I'm just
A lazy cuss who'd rather stay in bed.
Although the chores are pending still, I swear
By all that's holy, never let it said:
I yield my soul to folly. So I declare
Today, I must accomplish first, the wash
That was neglected worse than anything
I started. Now you're thinking, all is bosh
It’s all a bunch of crap, accomplishing
But empty talk, indeed, my friend it‘s so!
My work has been deferred till tomorrow.
