HIDDEN BENEFITS

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

The warrior went to rape and pillage

across the land to a distant village

and there he sought an innocent prey

with whom he had his evil way

and though his act was vile and cruel

it served to improve the village gene pool.

    I know I shouldn't laugh at rape and pillage but that final line made me laugh Michael.

      I know - not exactly PC but the thought came to me in an 'off piste' naughty moment and I couldn't resist turning it into a shorty.

        Yes he rises at at ten thirty
        and saunters along like a toff
        he walks down the Strand with his gloves on his hand
        then he walks down again with them off.

        It takes an artist like you, Michael, to find something positive in such a negative situation.

        DOH! This explains then why there are no rape scenes in the Simpsons perhaps.
