TODAY IS A DAY FOR BUMS
Today is a day for bums.
I am only a man
and whenever I can
I admire the women
in their cotton and linen.
Yes I do like a sneak
each day of the week
at a different part
of the female art.
One day it is hair
and another a pair
of boobs or knees
and all of them please.
But today is a day for bums.

You peeping there? Is your name Tom?!
Yes I'm sometimes known as Tom - my Dad was a piper - do you like pork? - I've got some to spare.
O LA LA
Il faut declare
Au jour d'hui
Pour DERRIERE !
Thanks MIKE for a Saturday SMILE
Reminds me of the famous Spello
in the GUARDIAN "Arstits Wanted !"
Whe God made ADAM he took a good
look and thought I could do better than
that and created EVE !
Thanks for another stunning member of
the AMARILLADACAE ~ Brian
Please check today's Poem !
Re God making Eve _ I remember my Dad in a light hearted moment, after a few words with Mum, saying: He only had to make two sexes and he still got one wrong!
As for the amaryllidaceae - they are quite stunning aren't they !
Thanks MIKE ~ It was not so much that GOD mad a mistake with you and I ~ rather He gave us a challenge for us to make Men of ourselves ! Eve is a product of the old adage of HENRY FORD "The Second Edition is always than the Prototype" The MODEL T had a REAR VIEW mirror ! Yours BRIAN
Michael,
I feel sorry for any bum in the street...especially in the winter...freezing their bum off! Lol
My first laugh of the day!
A great write for an enjoyable read and a beautiful pic to please the eyes!
Totally Awesome...

the idea of the poem had me smiling my head off even before I put any words on paper - thanks Laura
When I saw the word ābumā, my Italian/American mind first thought was about bums boozing it up in the street!...and then realized what you were referring to! So I joked around a bit with the two meanings! (The bum freezing his bum off.) š¤£
Ahhh...The beauty of language!
Yup just fallen in with your double meaning. Yes indeed - here in the UK if you mentioned 'bum' there would be no doubt that you were referring to the bottom, posterior, buttocks or (less politely) the arse. . And if you said fanny we would end up laughing our butts off (we never use the use the word 'butt' by the way). Here in the UK 'fanny' means (how can I put this politely?) the ladies front bottom.
As you say; Ahhh...The beauty of language!
Thank you, Michael! That was a great explanation!
You might like this tidbit...
In Italian, ā il sedereā* is the polite for bottom and āil culoā is the less politely!
* āsedereā is also the reflexive verb that means āto sitā!
Live and learn on this site -
so if you want to hide your big culo a lot
get yourself a pair of baggy culottes.
