A Load O\' Rubbish!

And now - for something completely different

As they say - or said, in that prog some years ago!

 

Hey, how did you know it was me

Moved over with you (some of you)

From a previous poetry site?

It\'s not exactly defunct

But gone into some sort of re-construction, me thinks

Not heard a dickie-bird from it for months

As to whether it\'s starting up again yet!

 

Well, ya know it\'s me - or some guy - do ya know him?

The secret - or not-so-secret

Pork pie eater and sherry drinker

You knows him - the guy who

Adds water to ya whisky, or wine, or whatever tipple

There he is.......

\'Psssttt\' - hear his syphon?

It\'s only ever got water in it!

 

He\'ll sneak around when you\'re asleep

And add water to it

Oooh, he can\'t have anything \'exciting\'

And he\'ll swoon at anything remotely \'hot\'

(So ya knows how ya could get rid of him now!

Just write a \'hot\' poem!)

 

Oh, but he dunno what he\'s on about

Thinks he is millions of years old

Thinks he was at The Battle of Hastings in 1066 in person!

 

Ahh, and he wants to know things

Such as - 

Have they found Minnie Caldwell\'s cat on Corrie?

Cos he last watched it about 1963

Or - have they arrested that bunch of daffodils

That shot Dirty Den on Eastenders?

Cos he last watched that about 1990

 

He\'ll be quaint - greet ya with a loud \'Ccooeeee\'

He means well - just humour him if ya sees him!

Tee Hee Hee

 

A bit more - oohhh!

Now I just added this P.S.

To warn ya about something so ghastly

I can hardly speak of it 

But there it is - in the UK at least, like a plague...

Every weekday - 

The next episode of \'Neighbours\'!

Me protests - but never enough

That I refuse to watch a programme

With someone in it called \'Toadfish\'!

Sounds like some alien monstrosity

What\'s that? - it is! You\'re correct. lol.
