A day orf?!

orchidee



Oohhh, have a day orf!

But not an off-day

Well, ya might not be able to tell the difference

When I say...

 

Just write any old rubbish

Don't matter if it rhymes or not!

I may do - 

I will go on about my idiosyncrasies - 

Don't ask me to say words like that

If I've had a sherry or three!

 

Pork pies for me too

Plenty of them - but - 

If we always got them in our fridge

I can't be eating enough of 'em!

 

And go around greeting folk with - 

'Cooeeee' how are ya?!'

Or the equivalent - Cooeeee may be very British

 

I got me woes too!

I must have a hat like DS/KS's

And I'm very old, ya know - 

Millions of years old

Oh vanity, it's so no-one

Guesses me true age - 21 again this year?!

 

I was the same on a previous site

Until it 'blew up' with a troll on it

But I coveted hats there 

Said 'Cooeee' a lot there

Downed me sherries

Causing me not to be able to say words over two syllables

And scoffed me porkies!

Some of ya know this

Ya have transferred to this site now

 

So I bid ya

An eccentric goodbye - 

Only for today, mind

I'm not going

Wot? Never going, I hear ya say

Nope, never

I'll stay for ever - probably!

(Put that sherry down, Orchi!)

 

I gotta stay

To find out mysteries of life, such as:

'Is 'Hee Hee' the same as 'Tee Hee'?

And all sorts of rubbish like that

I gotta find out

I lose sleep over such things like that, ya know!

    Aah, Cooee, Porchi, I am glad that your alter ego has found its way on here.

    • orchidee

      Thanks G/F. Oohh, should I leave this in me 'hymn-book that's compiled as we go along each day?! We can select which poems to include in our own E-book, you may know.

      • Goldfinch60

        Leave it there, God is full of surprises!

      • onepauly

        now have yourself a nice cup of tea.

        • orchidee

          Thanks O.

        • Michael Edwards

          Drove through Melton Mowbray yesterday - would have picked up a pork Pie if I'd known - by the way they're quite effective fired from cannons. Oh yes - enjoyed the ode.

          • orchidee

            Thanks M.

          • kevin browne

            fantastic array of wording here and I think your work is now showing itself off in due fashion. well done.

            • orchidee

              Thanks K.

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              Thanks STEVE for a nonsense poem ~ no preaching ~ just screeching ! Loved the CAT VIDEO ~ I am a cat person ! One day i will write a Nonsense Poem and surprise the Universe ~ I guess the older you are the madder you get ! You friend BRIAN I'm still young enough to be worried about the environment etc ! B.

              • orchidee

                Thanks B. I hope me spiritual stuff isn't too 'preachy' - if that's a word?! It can be overdone sometimes - fire and brimstone and all that. And what is brimstone exactly?!

                • BRIAN & ANGELA

                  Thanks STEVE ~ Brimstone is the element SULPHUR ~ Bright yellow ~ burns with a blue flame forming SO2 which is very toxic. A mixture of Brimstone & Treacle ~ will cure anything or kill you ~ Doctor BRIAN !

                  • orchidee

                    I knew you'd know what it is Brian! Now when it rained brimstone, did they stop to work out the chemical composition of it?! Would they have liked to have had the time to stop and work it out?!

                    • BRIAN & ANGELA

                      Thanks STEVE ~ Fire & Brimstone is associated with Volcanic fallout (I have experienced it in Puebla Mexico from POPOCATEPETL showered with fling ash !). This probably accounts for Lot's Wife being crystalised when she looked back @ Sodom & Gomorrah while LOT sped on ! BRIAN
