Premium Member Without Words

Atlanta's Oliver Hardy
so pretentious and somewhat lardy,
had a sidekick,bungling,but thin
both silently,still bring a grin


Tribute to Laurel & Hardy-who proved  humour needs no words and does not date

Bungling Bankers and Brutal Bakers

Bungling Bankers and Brutal Bakers

There are those who were muck rakers,
As well as liars, losers and breath takers;
Improperly invested,
And poorly digested;
Been bungling bankers and brutal bakers.

Lessons Learned

The wise learns lessons
from the art, wisdom
and stupidity 
of others,


but learns so much more
from the shame and pain
of his very own 
blunders,


that is, if from his lapses,
errors and bungling,
he bounces back
and recovers.

Hard Lessons

.

The wise 
learns lessons 
from the art, wisdom,
and even stupidity of others,


But learns 
so much more 
from the shame and pain
of his own humiliating blunders,


That is, 
if from his errors 
and bungling, he survives, 
bounces back and recovers!

Premium Member Ones Own Drive

You are adept at burrowing and slithering. Fight your way through the mud, bungling, and spilling. Plunged into the insides of the rind and outer casing. The further you lead, beyond troublesome it is becoming. Thinking over this is compulsatory rehearsing. Assumptions might be thwarted by the finding.

Doubting Faith

there's no denying it truly is
awkward, bungling, flawed;

but, in unguarded moments, 
touching as a reluctant hug;

scatters the clouds of worry,
shame and regret that blur

our vision, that make us jaded,
suspicious, bored and tired;

calms down the nervousness,
tempers the anger  that dwells

within the soul of us all in this
scarred, now wounded, world.

Premium Member Who Knows Them All

I finally stopped belittling myself for not knowing them all.
Because who does? 
I mean, really, WHO?
Maybe my mother.
No one else in my family.
There are 600,000 of them in the English language.
Homophones like ate and eight.
Adjectives like gurgling and bungling.
Adverbs like actively and mactively
Okay I made up mactively
So I guess that makes six hundred thousand and one.

Premium Member Toilet Humour

Russians are clumsy, a fact that's well known 
Mistook a lone beach for the battle zone
Odessa was out of reach
So hit a loo on the beach
I hope there was no one sat on the throne... 


Written on 22 May 2022



The bungling Russian navy fired a $5 million dollar misslle at Odessa claiming to hit a military target, it hit a target of high value alright , a toilet on a deserted beach.

Creature of Habit


I did not find you,
I tumbled into a gold mine,
Banging and bungling against rocks,
Reaching the ground all bruised and battered.

You are 132 in one,
I can make it without you,
Needing no other to make me,
See that time, that passion, that pain,
That laughter has made me Creature of habit.

You turn years to days,
Tattoo my wishful wounds,
From that need to be loved,
I found each different one in you,
And you make me creature of habit.
