Baz Bob and Ben


Freely admit am more than a bit of a Test cricket junkie

VIP pass doff for punky class of Bazball’s start so spunky

Revel in rocking devil may care peacocking flair so funky  

But when stuttered became rather cluttered and clunky


Then Ben not with his men again is still a cheeky monkey

Iffy getting squiffy forgot curfew & in a jiffy all got gunky

Palaver in a lather farce of toff ECB job & gob of slob Key

Smelt wrong the pong not dope has felt old school skunky 


Hunky stallion did quaff the trough now rapscallion donkey 

Scoff not bob on plunky fob off dob em in for being a flunky

Got a cob on Baz a show off ar*e & Rob chubby and chunky

Sob should burn on the hob as each other’s jail bit*h bunkie

Turn the door k*ob in lob Baz & Bob then Ben lose the key

A deejay called Chris

A wee witty ditty about Chris (the Hawk) on BBC 6 Music - as they celebrate World Poetry week


“There is a deejay called Chris

Who loves to play.. go on the pi*s (or take the p*ss)

Getting squiffy he won’t miss

Who went from spiffy quiffy bliss

To an iffy monk haircut abyss

Be remiss not to hiss at this

But still gets the gong & a kiss

Names in song we’ll never ever miss”

Lovely weather for Dunners' ducks

Lovely weather for Dunners' ducks (tongue in cheek peek at Dunedin's historic deluge)


"Stares upstairs..

Angels’ weeing above..

Be a good chap..

Show some love bruv..

Turn off the tap..

*****
No refuge from the subterfuge of the deluge..

Parched sandbag phalanxes..

Ranks marching in flanks..

Arching across busted banks..

Quaffing..scoffing..downpour spanks..

**********
Disbelief at the leisurely river Leith..

Despairing at it baring...glaring..teeth

Hurling....haring to unsheaf grief..

Mischief rashly unfurling…

Brashly whirling beneath.

Bawdry..tawdry thief...

******
Baffled..can't they see...squiffy South D in a jiffy downed..

Snaffled..drowned and raffled to the sea..

Don't they care...iffy white caps slaps..won't perhaps spare even sniffy..

Snooty..spiffy St Clair..

****
This rain ruckus.. pluvial palaver...

Whichever not whatever...

It totally sucks..

Planet forever in..

Fluvial flummoxed flux..

Tis rather lovely weather..

Though for Dunedin's ducks.."


Premium Member Cocktail Sticks

I dunno who decided that cheese should have resided 
With bits of pineapple upon a stick
I’d have hit him with a truncheon when he said a pickled onion
Would top it off: I fear he was quite sick

But here I stand with Marty, at this arty farty party
He’s eyeing up a new potential date
In truth, she’s bloody pretty, but, blimey, it’s a pity 
Pineapple, cheese and onion on her plate

When a kiss tastes of cheese, it ain’t gonna please
And onion breath means instant death
To hopes of romance at the valentine’s dance
And yet she says Hi, my names Beth

They head for the floor where they do little more
Than latch onto each other’s face
So I stand here jealous, was I over zealous
When I chose to have the fish paste

My dad’s dancing dirty, the girl’s about thirty
Looks like they’re gonna be smooching till late
I check out their table as best as I am able
Onion, pineapple and cheese on her plate 

So it seems that a party snack, pungent or squiffy
Does not preclude romance from you
If it stinks like cow splatter, it just doesn’t matter
So long as you’ve eaten It too

Premium Member Solomon Servants Songbirds

Solomon’s secretive solemn sassy sensuous servants and songbirds
Solicited serious Somalian solutions simultaneously with South African,
Southeast Asian, South Dakota, and South America.  Squiffy, squirmy
Spiny specialized swordfish sent spiraling soon soared with sticky, 
Silly starfish wearing stiletto heels.  Surfboarders supposedly stepped
Over stormy streams to strip submarginal substances from slippery surfaces.
Sadly some suspected subterfuge.
