It was 40 years ago that a beauty was born That the world paused to celebrate This fair lady was unique and beloved by all And even the angels wished to know her fate. And then when the beauty was grown and so fair Men would try and show off their might In the hopes that they could get to hold her tight. Yet one man was lucky, so fortunate so blessed, That she chose him as better than all the rest He still can’t believe that this angel is his girl That man is me, you are the angel, my world.

Being a poet is an awful curse we show our feelings in rhyming verse just watched Harrys Heroes and laughed at Merse I guess you'll want me in a hearse? ?

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 ‘If’ by Rudyard Kipling is the only poem that I ever thought was half-alright. And I did English Literature at A-Level for some bizarre reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Worked in an office that was predominantly staffed by women. One of them stuck a framed Purple Ronnie limerick up in the men's loo which read as follows... Men's Bitz Men's bits are sometimes like bananas, And sometimes like shrivelled up grapes, But no matter how they try, They just can't deny, That they come in the silliest shapes. In 'retaliation' and assuming they'd take it in the same spirit as we took their little ditty, I scrawled a response which I printed out and stuck on the door of the ladies'. It read... Ronnie's Revenge A man's appendage, Be it small or large, Tis true, is seldom a beauty, But a woman down there, To be perfectly fair, Can hardly be called a cutie. Two hours later I was fired for gross misconduct and unceremoniously marched out of the office. Shortest 'career' in poetry ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
