WHAT IS IT?

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

TWHAT IS IT?

 

 

You may have watched this stripy birdy

speculating what it might be.

Help’s at hand let me explain:

it emanates from sunny Spain.

 

And I’ve just seen it somewhere written

it’s settled here in drizzly Britain

dining out on cheddar cheese

and fish and chips and garden peas.

 

The cock assumes frankfurter shape,

the hen is rounded  like a grape,

it whistles with sardonic wit:

the Greater Rainbowed Sausage Tit

    I'll have to look out for one of those on my birdwatching days.

      Don't stand beneath them Andy - it's not a wise thing to do
      the Greater Rainbowed Sausage Tit is reknowned for it's volumous poo.

      Ahh,, Miss Berles had any in her garden?!

      • Michael Edwards

        None in her garden but she regularly spots them whilst out on he ram-berles.

      • Morwenna

        Beautiful picture, lovely nonsense poem that made me laugh.

        • Michael Edwards

          Thanks M - we all need a bit of laughter - so pleased you enjoyed the read.

          'The cock assumes frankfurter shape'
          🤣
          so witty, Michael
          thanks for the chuckles..
          (I'm surprised you haven't sold that artwork yet
          one of your most peaceful, to look upon)
          'in my humble opinion'

            I'm not sure if I still have it - don't recall selling it but haven't seen it in ages. Thanks LB - I'm running out of poetic inspiration at the moment and this was an odd one inspired by a comment on facebook.

            ROFL now that is a fun write.

            Unlike other birds, this one has class
            not chomping crusts on unmown grass
            such scraps for him provide no thrill
            finer things be destined for his bill
            he finds rich pickings outside Kentucky Fried
            our connoisseur's gained weight since last he flyed
            now he flaps his wings but to no avail
            for flight we know, has economies of scale

              I'm in awe how you can churn these out so quickly - they take me days to scibe them - cheers da.

                such a clever thing from that chap
                disposing of all that dog crap
                theres no need now to worry
                bagging turds in a hurry
                every dog now has a crap flap

                but they found down at the dog pound
                some breeds shit too close to the ground
                they need some propulsion
                to aid their compulsion
                as they strain at the stars spellbound

                a young teddy suggested quite coyly
                perhaps they could use something oily
                but their first trial runs
                meant explosive dogs bums
                that splattered all over the doily
