A man we all know as the Pickle

Sought a woman he wanted to tickle

She was full of bants

When he took off his pants

As she teased him for being so lickle

Love.

I regret playing the game

Never will I feel the same

That kiss, the one I crave

Memories I will take to my grave.

Anyway. Faf?

I wanted to write something melodramatic,

A tale of poor me, woe is me - yeah, anticlimactic.

But I fear if I do,

Folk might see through

The charmingly crafted charismatic.

Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'

We are not now that strength which in old days

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;

One equal temper of heroic hearts,

Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Cheeseville, Somerset

There was a young fab lass from Kirklees

Who spent half her life on her knees

Whenever she'd suck

She looked like a duck

As couldn't afford proper fillers so used bees.

She had a cut and paste message from a young man

And after seeing his knob next to a red bull can

She sent a reply

With a glint in her eye

Saying of pictures like that she was a fan

His phone pinged and to his inbox he ran

Thinking for all that spam he'd probably been given a ban

Everyone else had been declining

So his message he'd been refining

It now read "do you want to see some puppies, get in the van"

So they chatted and arranged to meet

Behind the bins at Lidl at the end of the street

If it didn't rain she'd be lucky

And her knees wouldn't get mucky

Whilst she was busy gobbling his meat

She tugged down his jeans behind the shop

And instantly her excitement did drop

His cock was that tiny

It made her so whiny

The bastard had used photoshop

So a lesson when first seeing a dick

Don't always believe what you see in a pic

What looks like it should be on a horse

Could be much smaller of course

And quite possibly the size of a toothpick

Well, I was comin' home late one dark afternoon

A reporter stopped me for a interview

She said she's heard stories and she's heard fables

That I'm vicious on the mic and the turntables

This young reporter, I did adore

So I rocked a vicious rhyme like I never did before

She said, "Damn, fly guy, I'm in love with you!

The Casanova legend must have been true!"

I said, "By the way, baby, what's your name?"

Said, "I go by the name Lois Lane

And you could be my boyfriend, you surely can

Just let me quit my boyfriend called Superman"

I said, "He's a fairy, I do suppose

Flyin' through the air in pantyhose

He may be very sexy or even cute

But he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit"

I said, "You need a man who's got finesse

And his whole name across his chest

He may be able to fly all through the night

But can he rock a party 'til the early light?

He can't satisfy you with his little worm

But I can bust you out with my super sperm!"

Fab love

Love is kind , love is blind,

Love may become silence when unexpressed may turn to violence,

Love is love , signifies a dove,

Love hurts unlike any other pain, the heart aches and breaks , then becomes someone else's to take,

Love is love, signifies a dove,

With all is heartache and confusion it's enough to give one a fusion,

Skipping beats amongst the heat ,

Love is love , signifies a dove,

Love is right, Love is light, love is fight; love is darkness into light, love is worth; love is hurt, love is accepting the durt.

In the name of loving poetry,the Fab unknown.

Gateway to the Beacons

I AM ENOUGH

When you look in the mirror

The mirror of self-doubt

The reflection of you looking at me

You have that feeling of not being enough

Flawed by society the media your peer

You feel not worthy not fitting their design

They tell you that you need this and that to shine

When that reflection looks back at you

Tell it you love it that’s it the best you

Self-love we’re told is vanity and ego

Learn to love yourself as you love others

You’re worth it all and so much more

Love yourself to the core

If you can not love yourself with no fear

Then how can you love those you hold dear?

Forget the bullshit that you don’t fit

Ignore that blemish stray hair or zit

Society tells us how we should be

It’s bullshit and lies that feed wet eyes

Wipe those tears and say to yourself

I am enough for me and for you

The you is your inner self

Self-love self-care makes them be

The number one thing top priority

I AM ENOUGH

You’re worth it all and so much more

Love yourself to the core

If you can not love yourself with no fear

Then how can you love those you hold dear?

Forget the bullshit that you don’t fit

Ignore that blemish stray hair or zit

Society tells us how we should be

It’s bullshit and lies that feed wet eyes

Wipe those tears and say to yourself

I am enough for me and for you

The you is your inner self

Self-love self-care makes them be

The number one thing top priority

I AM ENOUGH"

I love this it's brilliant xx

"Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'

We are not now that strength which in old days

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;

One equal temper of heroic hearts,

Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Thanks judy its a goody

This was actually taken from Tennyson’s poem Ulysses.

It is really worth reading the full poem as it has some fantastic lines….

Off the top of my head…

“All experience is an arch wherethrough gleams that untravelled world,

Who’s margins fade forever and forever as I move

How dull it is to pause, to rust unburnished and not to shine in use!

As tho’ to breath were life. Life piled on life

We’re all too little and of one to me, little remains

But every hour is saved from that eternal silence,

Something more,

A bringer of new things; and vile it were for some three suns to store and hoard myself

And this grey spirit yearning in desire to follow knowledge like a sinking star beyond the utmost bound of human thought”

I can’t remember if that is word for word??

Read the whole poem.. it is brilliant

Oh and there are some fantastic short poems which I love by A E Housman

I run the risk of boring everyone to death by taking over this thread

But I love this poem by Housman:

I to perils

Of cheat and charmer

Came clad in armour

By stars benign.

Hope lies to mortals

And most believe her

But man’s deceiver

Was never mine.

The thoughts of others

We’re light and fleeting,

Of lovers meeting,

Or luck, or fame.

Mine were of trouble,

And mine were steady

So I was ready

When trouble came.

I can’t remember which collection that one is from?

I think it might be “More Poems” by A E Housman

There is a lady who is a fabswinger

I’d like her number so I could ring her

She’s got kissable lips

And gorgeous tits

“Lots of orgasms”, I want to bring her

I've done it all my life

It makes the peas taste funny

But it keeps them on the knife

I can't remember much poetry, but I've always loved it. A few of Shakespeare's sonnets made an early impression. Larkin. Dickinson. Milligan. The classics.

Love

Does it come from above

Or does it come from below

I don’t know

But it is definitely something we can all show

It also come with passion

Some say it’s a taste of fashion

All I know is

I taste before we smashing

Some Dylan Thomas ("To begin at the beginning: It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent and the hunched, courters'-and-rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboatbobbing sea.", "Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.").

Omar Khayyam ("Wake! For the Sun, who scattered into flight The Stars before him from the Field of Night, Drives Night along with them from Heav'n and strikes The Sultán's Turret with a Shaft of Light.", "The Moving Finger writes, and, having writ, Moves on; nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.").

William Blake ("London. I wander thro' each charter'd street, Near where the charter'd Thames does flow, And mark in every face I meet, Marks of weakness, marks of woe").

Poe ("Quoth the Raven 'Nevermore.'").

Possibly my taste in poetry runs towards the gothic...

This isn't mine but:

Carnation Milk, the best in the land,

Here I sit with a can in my hand.

No tits to pull, no hay to pitch,

You just punch a hole in the son of a bitch!

Have you come across

The lady Candyfloss

She's in a class of her own

Her boobies pop out as she jiggles about

And her bums got a mind of it's own

Frosty wind made moan

Earth stood hard as iron,

Water like a stone;

Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
