HAROLDS LAMENT
In 1066 with all good grace
I bent down low to tie my lace
But that was where it went awry
A target made of my third eye
And sure enough it came to pass
An arrow went straight up my arse.

ouch!
Mmmm I felt it too
I bet, it was quite powerful you know. you wrote it.
I warn you once Orchi sees that last word he will swoon!
I did tell Orchi not to point up and say to Harold, what is that up there!
Oh dear - do you think I've touched his tender spot?
He has many of them. He is OK once he has had a sherry or three. Orchi - are you reading this?

Yes, swoon! Erm, maybe the story has more than one fabled version? Did I tell Harold to look up, or did someone else tell him to look down, as his shoe lace was undone?! heehee.
And there he was in the middle of battle wearing brogues.
Also - well, I've heard of eyes in the back of ya head, but not an eye at the rear..........swoon! I would not have heard of that, in me sheltered life. lol.
It\'s a useless eye - in fact it\'s pants. Anyway I had to get it to rhyme.
Well, in prison they tell you never to pick up your soap.
It's a slippery slope if you do.

A good laugh you've provided me this morning, Michael. I love it! You are indeed creative. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Louis - glad it gave you a smile.
Omg love this. ....very Spike Milligan feel about it
That's such great praise - I just love his poetry.
Aww so do I
Well, let's all stay out of prison then, or don't drop soap if we're ever In there. Too much info to say more! ooh.
Harold didn't use soap.
I was exactly thinking about all the different feelings I experiment while at MPS. It goes far from what I used to feel before signed myself to this site. I never knew such swoosh community could exist. Thanks for the laugh Michael
Thanks so much Malu. On a serious note and as with my art (traditional watercolours, abstracts, cartoons, sculptures, line drawing), I do like trying out different forms from serious to classical to whimsical and often to downright rude.
I see many poets who only write on one subject (often only about their own demons) but this doesn't extend them and consequently they never improve. I just don't want to ever end up in a rut - if I did the enjoyment of writing would be gone.
Yes, you are a truly artist. Thanks for sharing your art. I really appreciate it.
I just discovered this treasure...I think the comments giggled me as much as the poem and cartoon!
