When it's not right the clerk gripes
But now cards have chips and mag stripes
To swype or insert
If done wrong it can hurt
Like partners who don't know their pipes...

'you cant be too rich
and you be too thin'
the glossies spout out
'your efforts will win'

but forgot to tell all
there's only one snag
it's full of cake adverts
and £5 a mag !!...

an east meets west show
the Navaho laid low-
on western art nouveau

Cars in the seventies,
Had character, you see,
Lime green Fords with stripes GT,
Waxed on weekends, thoroughly,
Double Cam exhausts with Mag wheels,
Now bland cars are the deal,
White, black, silver or grey,
Purple or orange cars just drove away!...

Verkrag

Vrou
Sag en vol mag
Rustig,hard, vol krag
Stamp hom weg
Dit is nie reg
Skeurend,stukkend
Jou vrou wees weg;
Rou,grou die donker
Rukkend, bukkend
Jou vrou wees dronker
Leeg,geen krag
Hortend, hawend
Vrou, verkrag,
Leeg,geen krag.

A 68 Coronet
	in canary yellow
white vinyl top
	440 mag inside

a four pack on top
	an auto shift
60 in 10
	in black smoke

room for five
	and all their bags
12 to the mile
	but 32 cents

so long ago
	lost in time
once it was
	in my youth...

facebook facebook me oh my
why'd you want to make me cry
it was  just a gag, I swear it Mag
Now stuck I am with this here tag

well thank you sis, your charm is bliss
you heard my pleading prayer
you pulled some strings and flapped your wings
you made it right from there...

Lady in drag
Under a flag
Smoking a fag
Wanted to gag

From saddle bag
Pulled out mag
Keys with a wag
Without a snag

Walked with a swag
As if jet lag
She was no hag
No scalawag

Roaring zigzag
Just had to brag
Driving her Jag
Still with its tag

Recently renewed my sub to Penthouse
That should keep me straight! 
I know some people don't like porn
Also know some people who love it
You can become obsessed with it
That is surely the case 
But photos of beautiful naked women!
Something to heartily enjoy 
I have seen quite a number in my day
Maybe I will see another!...

Maggie, Mag, wants to dally
She wants to play with me
I would rather write a poem
But she won't let me be
Sitting on the floor facing me
Bark,bark,bark,bark,barking

Until she gets my attention
Then I would throw the ball
She will run to fetch the ball
Chasing her for the fun of it
Until she feels tired
Then I continue writing....

Kun mag-ági ka
Saní na dálan
Warâ na'n balíkan

Saní na dálan
May púnò san mángga
Na punô sin búnga

An úna nag-agi
An puno ginyugyog
Takdag pati putot

Panduha nag-agi
Kay wara na'n bunga
Dahon an ginpa-pa

Pantulo nag-agi
Kay wara na'n dahon

Pang-upat nag-agi
Kay wara na'n panit

An ulhi nag-agi
Kay wara na'n gamot
Nagsupa sin lapok...

Earlier I left a message to move a suspect bag
The one abandoned where I park my jag
I caught a whiff and most disgusted did gag
The offensive item must belong to Bag Lady Mag
I see her daily dressed in the same dirty stinky rag
With frumpy socks around her knees that sag
She’s really pretty sweet though I feel like such a nag

Die Marionet

Daar voor op die verhoog
So ewe droog. 
Die Marionet

Met die Meester se stem
So, asof getem. 
Die Marionet

Geen wil van sy eie
Het hy ‘n getuie? 
Die Marionet?

Hy dans darem en sing
Hy is ‘n snaakse ding.
Jy weet mos

Aan toutjie van gena’
Niks wat hom pla
Moet ek weer?

Met die meester se mag
Het almal gelag
Vir die pop
As die vertoning verby is
Opgesluit in ‘n kis...

DIE MARIONET...

Wara na san mas mayumhok pa sa imo, 
Amo man an pagkalubay mo, 
Wara san maka pugong san imo kumo, 
Bisan an tanan na pader kag kamino.

Maski an pinaka-matarum na minasbad,
Kakalawangon pag ikaw tinadtad.
Ihulog man an pundo sa arong,
Kaya suludon lalo na kun mag bagrong!

Kun ikaw nakapatay, ikaw man nakabuhay,
Nagaistar an turay, naga inom an garay.
Habu man sa imo kun lubog an kadamuan, 
An pabay-an ka nakapalinaw man....

I want to get a Tom Tom
Or any make of Satnav
But my lady wife won’t hear of it
Not all the time I have
Her to map read for me
And give me vague directions
Saying left instead of right
At all the intersections
But it’s always my fault
When we take another detour
Though it’s her not paying attention
I don’t want to do this anymore
For she doesn’t really map read
She only reads her women’s mag
But that’s what I’m stuck with
A fifty year old sat nag...

Not all tongue that wag
You dishonorably gag …

Of course not that of my Neighbor
Which assigned to itself Christ’s Labor
For it doesn’t behind lag
And will ever out fag,
While demolishing knickers that sag;
Women that fripperies drag,
Hundreds of cosmetics bag,
Fun always pokes at a hag 
Or lanes walk that zigzag 
And in the church read a mag!

The tongues that sensibly wag
Should about it richly brag,
Even as their victims nag,
Their anger rocky crag....
