Bitterness is a pill,
Too easy to swallow,
But hard to digest,
Giving those who swallow it,
Side effects that can last a lifetime.
These include reoccurring bouts of verbal diarrhoea,
Frequent headaches from dwelling on past events,
Difficulty in forming relationships with other than fellow pill takers,
Heightened gullibility,
Low self-esteem,
Easily led to do criminal acts,
Poor overall heath,
With no chance of a letter from the queen.
Mr Bombastic
So sycophantic
Spins discs of plastic
He’s so sarcastic -
Thinks he’s fantastic!
He’s on a health kick
Eat prunes in aspic....
His guts turn spastic
Diarrhoea quite drastic!

Simple silly scribbles after eating prunes for breakfast whilst listening to an 'in your face dj' on internet radio!
Sue suffers from constant lorgorrhea
This condition has no panacea –
Like a parrot who’s squawking
She just cannot stop talking
It’s well-known as verbal diarrhoea

Small people think big, big people don't!
****
The frog jumps in the pond, the toad thinks, "why break the silence"?
Silence hides in sound. Sound can hide in a vacuum, silence hiding sound
****
Room for thought, mindless.
****
Listen to the silence, thank God I thought I'd gone deaf.
****
Secrete a secret, fake news.
****
Contagious verbal diarrhoea, everybody talking shite.
****
There are good, good folk, then there is good bad folk, therein lies our problems.
****
Teachers have all the answers, they wish!

People tell me that I’m now a poet
I've still got a lot to learn and don’t I know it
I like to write with humour and wit
You may like my writes or think they are rubbish
(couldn’t think of suitable rhyming word here)
Some days my ideas just flow and flow
Other days my muse has a long way to go
I hate the days my brain is constipated
When I can’t find the words I get so frustrated
I need a dose of Movicol to get my movement going
Blockage will be cleared and my poems will be flowing
Other times my words gush like verbal diarrhoea
Inspiration flows like a river and I whoop and cheer
Thought I’d share this with you and keep you in the loop
You can read my outpourings here on Poetry Soup

Many things annoy me
fools are top of the list
you know when they make
same mistakes time and again
Or spout utter rubbish
just for something to say
no meaning or purpose
just verbal diarrhoea
Injustice of any form
really gets my goat
like a hapless victim
bullied for being different
Or a cat or dog being kicked
just because their owner
is taking out their frustration on
something that can not fight back
Theft is another one that annoys
people work hard for what they have
only to have their homes invaded
their treasures stolen or smashed
Belongings defecated on, why?
usually it is jealousy or plain spite
people who misuse positions of power
these and many more really get my goat.
