Must you.....?

orchidee



'Must you always insist?' Says Fido to me

'On certain things'

And steal the thunder

Or dilute the meaning, of certain poems

Which have heavy, dark themes

 

Along you come - 

You phantom whisky-waterer, you

Taking the edge of some serious stuff

Or bringing KP into it

Mentioning one of your

8,476 Adventures or so with her

 

Must you say? 'Ooh, not suicide

Don't want to meet Ms Sue E. Side

She's dangerous'

So I ask - 'suicide - will it hurt?'

Not when you've snuffed it, it won't

 

'Behave Orchi!' says Fido

Three times more wiser than me

'What do you mean, three?' says Fido

'More like three thousand times!' lol

 

And must you ruin some dark poems

By saying stuff like:

'Oooh a bad hair day for you then?

I should try a new shampoo!'

 

Can't have ya living in the dark

All morose and gloomy and grim

Come to the light!

And see where you're going

And don't put out my candle!

 

'Must you carry on being eccentric?' asks Fido

Yep - and I know folk believe in you...

A talking, reading, censoring dog

Barking where poets should mark poems 18+

But 'forget' to do so!

 

Woof! Mark this 'dark humour' poem 18+

Says Fido!

    An early morning smile - is Fido your Poochus Domesticus?

    • orchidee

      Thanks M. Yes lol.

    • Tom Dylan

      Love this, Orchi. I can really relate. My wife tells me to be serious, I always say, I tried it once, I didn't like it. 🙂

      • orchidee

        Thanks Tom. lol.

      • sorenbarrett

        Made me chuckle Orchi I hope you have a good hair day.

        • orchidee

          Thanks SB. lol.

          maybe not such a strange topic for one so nutty .. but then didn't they say there's one in every bite ..

          • orchidee

            Thanks N. lol.

          • Doggerel Dave

            Sometimes, just sometimes I can only agree with you here, one hundred percent: "Taking the edge of some serious stuff".
            Other times, yes, there other times, I think 'go orchi'.
            So perhaps occasionally, just occasionally a little more discrimination would be very welcome....

            • orchidee

              It's an occasional 'digression' as Neville calls them! I expect I shall be singing again next time. lol

              Looks like Fido's looking to overthrow your poetry page Orchi. He's pretty good actually. 🤔

              • orchidee

                Thanks AP. lol.

              • Goldfinch60

                Don't you dare water my whisky Orchi, there would be words that putting 18 would not cure. LOL

                  Thanks Gold. lol.

                  Fido, sounds like a strict school teacher. Tell him, it’s ok to lighten up every now and then. Have a dawg free day Orchi:)

                  • orchidee

                    Thanks C. Fido can't have people conveniently 'forgetting' to mark poems 18+ when they should be! lol.

                    • Cassie58

                      He’s bossy then?

                      • orchidee

                        Not bossy really, but he is keeping the standard, in case anything 'hot' gets through, without being marked 18+. This also saves me from swooning over anything too 'hot'. lol.

                        • Cassie58

                          Right, so he is a dawg with a keen eye and sensitive to heat 🙂
