  • Comment from author about the poem: Please note, this authors note has nowt to do with my today's scribble ... But rather, it is meant to reinforce my frustration at being required to tick boxes when values have changed .. as has the use of language .. I use as an example .. some 4 or 5 year old told me to F *** off yesterday .. I was only trying to help his mother load her car when her carrier bag broke .. So why do I still find myself wincing when I am required to tick some bloomin box to save some one here from being embarrassed or outraged ... Answers on a F ****** post card please ..

          It's Fido on here, me imaginary dog! he can be a pest. He even barks at me, if I forget to mark a poem 18+, and it should be so. And I'm his owner.
          What's that Fido? Ohh f****. And furthermore: *&^^$£!@.
          Don't you dare translate that, Fido! heehee.

          • Neville



            Dont ever change Mr. O ... ta for stopping by on this particular bloomin occasion ...

          • orchidee

            And - well, I helped a shiny stag beetle go on its way. It may have got slightly crushed. I put it up the right way. It did not cuss me!

            • Neville



              .. it is most important to live and let live .. in my honest but humble opinion ........... stag beetles are like dogs .. not just for christmas 🙂

              • orchidee

                When I was 5, I saw a stag beetle. I said 'I want one'. Someone bought me one for Christmas! Am I telling porkies?
                Well, it must say something about the parents then, if the small child was so hostile.

                because my dear poet
                if we base our moral compass
                on the base degenerate majority of society
                then we might as well forget
                our blood-spilled notion of humanity...!
                see, and that's exactly what 'they' want
                for everyone to be despairingly reduced
                into working
                from 'their' nihilistically meaningless dogma
                of worthlessness
                where, consequence is devoid of choice
                and common decency is deemed a sham
                just so they can feel comfortable continuing to exist
                resorting to their most basic version of idiocy..
                those few left, who have the capacity to be mindful
                of the impact our words may have
                on impressionable mind's
                should try and do what is possible, not because
                we Have-to, but because we make the Choice-to..
                the choice to be more than
                all the abundance of wilful ignorance
                that surrounds us daily and threatens to drown-out
                our capacity to think for ourselves..
                the choice, to not have our values and fortitude
                not be dictated-to
                by those, who choose 'their' self-serving - loathing
                to posses: their warped-derelict sense of worth...
                (also, succulent plants
                are drought resistant plants....?!
                in the words
                of the great Quagmire: giggity! 😁)
                yeah, I know I'm a fool
                I own it: relatively - and when tipsy
                proudly! lol

                • Neville



                  ............. you got me again sir .. is there no limit to his transparency I ask my self .. glad you picked up on my little play on drought tolerating fauna ............................. cheers mate & then some 🙂

                  • L. B. Mek

                    its not transparency, its kinship
                    burgeoning, maybe
                    limited in intimacy, maybe
                    but 100% born of sincerity
                    and formed on a bedrock of mutual respect,
                    you know, like the good old days
                    where agreeable characteristics were deemed enough
                    to plant seeds of friendship... 🍻

                    Suck who's lance was that?

                    A teenage called me a fat c.nt a while ago. I replied with due aplomb, "young man my stomach may be big but it would rattle in your mouth". He didn't appear to have sufficient command of basic English to understand my retort.

                    So many ladies are perfumed it appears to be more attractive. However, once the attraction has worked, they seem unduly perplexed by the attention they receive. True colours are revealed when the beauty tarnishes itself with language of the gutter.

                    So cunningly revealed in you short display here.

                    • Neville



                      .... you just made my evening sir ... I shall remember that retort too so I will ... cheers n truly

                      They say that to me even when they know me. Me think f****** should now be considered a polite ‘no’, with the amount it is used in everyday life.

                      • Neville



                        To be honest, I am not sure whether the F word is used more often now than it was say 100 years ago ... but I do agree, it is used too often ... Thanks for chipping in mohan .. much appreciated

                      • Michael Edwards

                        Just fick the tucking box - my grandaughter is working with special needs children and the language they use is mind blowing - my grandaughter has a way of telling us without any embarassment and a twinkle in her eye.

                        • Neville



                          ............... makes sense to me ... cheers Michael .. I might just give that a try ... 🙂

                          Ha - With the first line's sweetest compliment I smiled at her prickly response through mis-interpretation of that one single word - - - - - clever linguistics again Nev.........x

                          • Neville



                            ............ thank you my dear friend ... yep, it doesn't mean its wrong just because it doesn't sound right, does it 🙂

                          • Goldfinch60

                            The F word seems to be part of the natural language now, there are so many other words in the wonderful English language that can be used to tell you to eradicate yourself to another position in your venerable society.

                            • Neville

                              Cooee - you brought a cactus?
                              'Smelling like a rose.....' They have thorns and prickles too!

                              • Neville



                                ..................... they do Oh' O 🙂

                                That is so funny, Neville.
                                I agree with Dave he thought you were hitt'n on his Mum.

                                • Neville



                                  ..................... thank you Jerry 🙂
