They're called Crisps not Chips



Across the Atlantic ocean

They have a pedantic notion

Quip us Brits have a frantic lisp

Did slip..meant to say chip not crisp


Semantic antics causing a commotion

Misunderstand our land’s devotion

To the sensory explosion that is a crisp


So why the linguistic demotion

Respond to across the pond & beyond

Have donned a wig of blonde

Seem fond of being conned 

They need to be told


The reason Brits abscond from the fold

Will break the mould

Skip this blip and let rip

A chip is hot and if not.. is cold 

Such umami gold is actually factually

A crisp!


Our gung ho American foe 

Will still go & crow..

Blimey those slimy Limeys

We’re the aficionado…so no bravado

Must surely know a chip is always

Made I’m afraid of purely potato
(unless I guess if its chips at a casino)


Displayed for trips in dips

Not just crud dud spud chips

Bud..could be made of wheat

Sworn am often torn

Could be swayed by corn


Synthetic aesthetic can’t beat

Heart attack in a pack food p*rn

If Polenta is the mentor.. its a chip

But if some parsnip you did flip

In oil then it is definitely…definitively a crisp


Got a hunch that if for 

Lunch.. earlier at brunch 

Or just for a munch

Thick or thin as a wisp

If it does go crunch

Then it’s crisp


Not being trippy.. dippy or too lippy

Don’t be hasty and haughty

Nothing beats..tasty treats

Seriously salty.. deliriously naughty eats

That's why we say crispy.. not chippy


P.S ..The only crispy beast feast

Where’s there is no hackling

Tackling or shackling 

A snack as a chip or a crisp

No cackling…is when it’s crackling


Oops somehow a new row hatching..isn't 

Fried pig skin..a pork scratching


But Colombian cronies are dispatching

Such phony baloney..there's no matching 

The show ponies that are chicharrones

Ode To Fanny Craddock

Ode to Fanny 

Her start in life was rather poor
with wastrel parents, ones to abhor
She avoided living in the gutter
Earning enough for her bread and butter

Her break in life came rather later 
Before, bigamy and babies to underrate her
Her kids grew up in the care of another
She never took to being a mother

Her culinary skills proved rather good
She could write and critique on all kinds of food
Destined to star in sixties telly
She graced her shows in glitzy finery

Her zany persona was rather dippy
Her dress was ball gown and misplaced lippy
Shunning apron and hat that looked so drab
‘Cos cooking and baking should always look fab

The man she had met was rather fine
Ex army major, life was divine
They fronted shows as man and wife
Fanny and Johny, well matched and no strife

Her fame continued for rather a while
Overridden by others in different style
And gaffes too many, they booted her out
No telly shows, no gowns to flout

Her recipes of the past still rather great
She put pizza and prawn cocktail on our plate
She and Johny, always a couple
Poor but content to remain conjugal

Ooh rather!

WTF



A curse that’s worse than the pandemic

Greedier populist verse became totemic

No halt of their catapult assault systemic

Seedier social media game now endemic


Whether it be some chanting panting cleric

Will ration all compassion not really angelic

Always decanting another ranting hysteric

Doubts planting the enchanting evangelic


Oligarchy malarkey their tarnished polemic

Climate fires rage but won’t call the medic

Derails with varnished tales any academic

Preening demeaning all left leaning satiric 


Dystopian & myopian totally Machiavellic

We burn they’re still lippy well it’s generic

With their heinous intravenous hypodermic


Even if taciturn with boring name like Derek

Yearn for return of hippy trippy psychedelic

Not dippy all learn nature can be mesmeric

Don’t spurn love soars above stratospheric

Premium Member Clown

You’re early today, her manager said
are you okay, did you fall out of bed
June told her boss, I’ve changed my routine
My bloke drives me in as though I’m the Queen

I’m able to drive but it saves time each day
If he drives and I do my face on the way
I see, her boss nodded and then simply said
Why don't you just get up early instead

June said, losing sleep doesn't worry my head
When driving gives me one more hour in bed
My brows and mascara were done on the road
My lippy went on at the lights where we slowed

That’s all well and good her manager said
But I think you should get up early from bed
For even a Jaguar, Bentley or Rolls
Can‘t save a girl’s face from a thousand pot holes

Premium Member Time Travelling Did Personality

Hello, my beautiful name is Deb, 
And I’ve a power to share,
I’m a little time travelling tripster traveller, 
Any time, any place, anywhere,

Like the other day I woke up in a house, 
A house that I never knew,
And I realised when I walked around, 
This house I’d never been to,

Or last week travelling to a concert, 
Mega loud, mega death, mega rock,
I travelled to sitting on the couch at home, 
The next day at about one O’clock,

And time travelling messes up my hair, 
Changes my lippy colour to what I don’t like,
But that’s the rub of travelling time, 
For this D.I.D. living psych.

You Can Be a Psychopath

You can think you’re better though affection isn’t shown 
You never win approval from the people you have known 
But you still boast abilities and think how far you’ve grown 
with nobody around you as you’re always on your own 

You’ve never known what is to be liked or to be loved 
you only know what it is to be hateful with a grudge 
thinking you’re superior while all else are a mug 
only ever hearing your voice saying you’re above 

The punishment is you are you 
all your life in all you do 
seeing things as you need too
the punishment is you are you 

Born with a deficiency 
emotionless and misery 
humans are a mystery 
behaving very differently 

You don’t feel emotions that would make you feel alive
you just have a hollow hole where nothing lives inside 
people wish you hateful suffering before you die 
nobody you ever meet wants you within their life 

Wishing for approval that you will never get 
happy to behave a way that leaves the rest upset 
it’s the only reaction that you have ever met 
everyone who hurts you has no sorrow or regret 

While you think you’re big and bad 
others think you’re flipping sad 
always lippy always mad 
you’re a very tragic lad 

You think you are better than everyone you knew 
Everybody hating you 
You think you are clever though it is far from true 
the punishment is you are you

Premium Member BUSHMILLS IN BUS STATION

Her hair's so black, the blue is breaking through.  
Centre-parted with furrow crown to fore, 
Perfectly placed and kept in position 
As pretty red ribbons bind the bunches.

Her face is crazed and tanned to leather.  
Too many benders on Benidorm beach. 
Her mouth is creased, possibly from decades 
Of dragging long and hard on king-size tipped. 
But her lips: Aah! A work of art in crimson. 

Today she wears a short-sleeve summer frock. 
Floral pattern with red to match her lippy. 
Her batwings flap-flop like Labrador ears. 
Her small white socks sit snug in hiking boots.

She is the little girl in the old lady. 
Time corrupts. Her comfort, her addiction. 
After her tour of town she sidles off 
To swig Bushmills on a bus-station bench.

Guess who must help to carry her back home.

For whom the Bell hotel tolls; pithier version

Their ma & pa were Eastenders 

Blah blah..don’t remember the Blitz

Lit the bonfire..won't call it quits


Make even their kids crazy..like nits

Hazy troll scroll hits

Society in bits due to fascist fits


Dimwits just going on benders

To the nutter gutter they descend

Quixotic pretend patriotic defenders


Horrific hateful slurry..getting lippy

Like their tan..the glory of a tandoori

Sh**  hypocrite story…more in a hurry

For a plateful of curry.. than a Mr Whippy

Or a trip to the chippy


Oblivion.. foster an imposter roster

But brag..as minions from the 

Dominions opinions they gag


No refrain from disdain campaign

Vain..inane..insane Reform reign pain

Yet bet still the norm to holiday in Spain


It’s a farce..you are working class

Toffs scoff..no VIP pass 

Stop.. just being an ar*se

Fooled..fueled and ridiculed

By public schooled top brass


Belligerent…militant instruments

But insolent..indolent & ignorant

These refugees are innocent

No different…like you a descendant of an immigrant


Tomfoolery cash for a stash 

Of bold gold jewellery 

Sold their souls at the polls

For whom “the Bell” (hotel) tolls


Farage barrage racist goals pepping

News airs..or views flares

Dares from their speakers


Roles of shoals of brash proles prepping 

Mass of thrill seekers going for the 

Kill in crass flash sneakers in Epping


Due to the "colour of your skin"

"No room at the inn".. spin

"Don't let them in" chagrin din


Charlie snorted...no parley

Reported we have resorted

To getting it sorted by them being deported


Cardinal sin..won't let them win

Cos Asylum Seekers they are schlepping

Premium Member Girl On a Bridge

Seeming unseeing, expressionless being
Asleep in this wide awake town 
Leant on the side of a bridge cross the river 
Her gaze and demeanour are down

Considered a knife for taking her life
But thoughts of whom-ever might find
her blood drenched cadaver, decided she’d rather
not mess up an innocent’s mind

Spent some time thinking, painkillers while drinking
Might bring her the peace that she craves
But what if they merely left her feeling bleary
So now she stands gazing at waves

Nobody asks if she’s needing assistance 
As busy folk head on their way
Ladies with lippy and cyclists nippy
And suited chaps seizing the day 

A note she laid down, then without tear or frown 
She climbed up and over the side
Made her last pledge on a protruding ledge 
That really was not very wide

Well Lord, that was me, what had you hoped to see
Whatever it was I have failed 
Messed up all my life, but I’ll get one thing right
For I’ve got my final act nailed 

Behind her a groan in a juvenile tone
The nine year old face wore a frown 
From under the bridge, that scared little kid
Said, please Lady, don’t let me drown

My dad paid a man who had a white van
To find a long life of good health
Snuck out of Francais then to my dismay
Abandoned me here by myself

She said take my hand, then climb up and stand
Safe on the bridge, then we’ll go
Miss, said the lad, did God have this planned 
Honey, she said, I don’t know

And Her Sugarless Tea

Now for warm oatmeal with honey and her sugarless tea
To this chrysoberyl dawn rescue from chuted linen bedlam,
For here's a bedside tale to whispered promise and plea.

She sits on her hands and shuffles her ugg boots,
And watches me toast, I'm butter, I'm smoked ham.
Now for warm oatmeal with honey and her sugarless tea.

Pepper shakes, egg white eyes, her yawning toots,
Her champagne hair bubbles still of our liquory sham,
For here's a bedside tale to whispered promise and plea.

The wonder to her sprite body and this morn in cahoots,
When I feels like I'm sunken, with lids like a sleepy clam.
Now for warm oatmeal and honey and sugarless tea.

Not flowers on feathers, hoodlums we are - munchy and moose,
Nothing much matters but her lippy kiss coat of strawberry jam
For here's a bedside tale to whispered promise and plea.

This first light and cigarette and her shuffling caboose
Closer, comfier, her smile on my shoulder, to the day be damn' 
Now for warm oatmeal with honey and her sugarless tea,
For here's a bedside tale to whispered promise and plea.
