TODAY IS A DAY FOR.......!

Michael Edwards

 

 

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.

      • Michael Edwards

        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 !

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            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...

            ~Laura~

              the idea of the poem had me smiling my head off even before I put any words on paper - thanks Laura

              • LaurašŸŒ»

                When I saw the word ā€œbumā€, 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.) šŸ¤£

                Ahhh...The beauty of language!
