You're a poet and you don't know it

Trash to one is treasure to another.

I enjoy poetry, I write it even but what I write and is to my taste is obviously different from many others which is as it should be.

To dictate what should and what should not be presented on an open forum such as this is a bit beyond the pale.

This topic would have wandered as most topics do. A good thing, the topic is all the more interesting for it as life is not all tranquility and roses as much as we may want it to be. Irreverence is part of the Australian psyche, a charming part of our society I feel.

Despite the 'End' I shall post some more verse when I have a bit of time. Of a more thoughtful and sensitive nature methinks.

Life is far too short to get wound up about a limerick here and there. There are far more important things about that require the raising of the ire.

Take it easy.

Beautiful day here !

What a pity! I was really enjoying this thread of yours Fleur and it inspired me to again indulge in a love I have had since childhood when I began writing my own poems. I have begun rereading some of my old loved poetry books which have stayed untouched for quite a few years so I thank you for that.

This is a forum you idiots not a bloody graveyard.

Laila's Dream Job

There once was a girl named Laila
who wanted to become a sailor,
her brother Con 
said she was wrong 
so instead she became an tailor

The Man From Greece

There once was a man from Greece
He was incredibly obese
He rolled round the world 
crushing all boys and girls
then fell into a vat of grease

 Giant Squid Ditty

I went down to that deep sea and i tell you what i did
I went down to that deep sea and i tell you what i did
I hook line and sinkered on that giant deep sea squid

I caught me a big one, caught me a giant squid
I caught me a big one, caught me a giant squid
I reeled him in, it took ten men oh lawdy yes it did

Well he wasn’t dead yet, he grabbed on to my leg
Well he wasn’t dead yet, he grabbed on to my leg
Pulled me down, i grabbed the rail i tried to stay
Pulled me down, i grabbed the rail fell to my watery grave

There was an Old Man of Kilkenny,
Who never had more than a penny;
He spent all that money,
In onions and honey,
That wayward Old Man of Kilkenny."

There was a pollie called Clive

Doing his best to connive

He took on  Jackie Lambie 

Who he thought 'mamby pamby"

Now look whose trying to survive.

There exists a PM named Abbott

Who has an unfortunate habit

of wheeling and dealing

and lying and stealing

For Aussies he creates havoc.

Robi and Radish. Well done !!
