Mark's Poems & Prose

well not really - I’ve got special disspensation from the administration - the holy grail no less! but what about the rest? I say one in all in :mrgreen:

I do recall many eons back when RJ had a poem thread and I also that others posted with no concerns from us - what’s changed - I didn’t see any rules posted - yes I do believe that grump pumpy MKJ has become specially marked -[excuse the pun] - isn’t he a cute little puppy heh?:smiley:

Yes I imagine he is of the same mind :wink:

Bunch of lunatics.

well I was just trying to assess the mood around here and wondered whether a modified version of John Paul Youngs "love is in the air " may fit in??

no personal insults intended!!

Lerve is in the Hair!

Lerve is in the hair
in markies poems it doth abound
Lerve is in the hair
Short –sighted or if you frown

And I don’t know if she’s being foolish
Don’t know if she’s being wise
But it’s something that she must believe in
And it’s there when he’s her kind of guy

Lerve is in the hair
In the whisper of the Gods
Lerve is in the hair
In the thunder of the Gods

And I don’t know if she is just dreaming
Don’t know if she’s feeling sane
But it’s something that she must believe in
And it’s there when she call out Marks name

(Chorus)
Lerve is in the hair
Lerve is in the hair
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Lerve is in the hair
In the postings that still come
Lerve is in the hair
When the thread is nearly done

And I don’t know if she’s an illusion
Don’t know if he sees it too
But he’s something that she must believe in
And he’s there when she reaches for him

Lerve is in the hair
Every post that can be found
Lerve is in the hair
Every post that can be found

And I don’t know if she’s being foolish
Don’t know if she’s being wise
But it’s something that she must believe in
And it’s there when she posts with her eyes

best wishes from all the guys and gals from the Toffs!:-D:-D

I know someone who will appreciate the above - I think.

What The Hell

We think we are so important - are we hell
We are nothing but flesh and bone with an odd smell
A smell that changes as we are devoured by life
Making a mockery of all our troubles and strife

So consider that we are but fleeting delights
Make as much of yourself - shine and make the headlights
Because life can be fun if you choose it to be
Wisdom, alone, can set you free

all depends if you believe in HELL - some don’t :twisted:

it’s been a hell of a place today
as hot as old hadies they say
there was a guy with a pitchfork and a terrible evil grin
they say we’re the losers and he always wins

I had a hell of a time way down there
my dark hair got singed and turned fair
we cooked on the barbie with no heat at all
they say when ya down here it’s just one big ball

and then someone said the old name
JC to be precise and hell came
there were fire breathing dragons
virgins in horse drawn wagons
someone said there for the Jihads who gained fame?

where in the HELL is the exit down here
I heard someone cry with real fear
well they told us ya in a famed hotel were they grieve
In California and ya can book in but never leave!:shock:

Back on form with that one :smiley: .

all these inspired thoughts require a spark - thanks for the spark markie!:smiley:

The Journey - or Evacuation

Sos I gots up this morning - some shape
My eyes were just slits trying to focus on the landscape
No appetite either but I did munch on All Bran flakes last night
Sos I should be regular and won’t have to strain with all my might

Off on a journey some time today
Sos I have to get dressed come what may
And carry out some ‘jobs’ - responsible I am you see
Just waiting for the strong coffee rush to hit me

Sos give some thought to my plight - some empathy
Blimey - just thought - all that coffee and pee!
Ooo - I will take a p*** pot, with glee :smiley:
In the car and balance it on my knee

To boldly go for we!

your rapping man - just set it to music and ya gota winner!!:smiley:

Nice bit of verse there Mark.

Where exactly ? :confused:

Well I particularly like “Off on a journey some time today, so’s I have to get dressed come what may”
There is a lot of info packed into that, he’s stating that it’s very urgent and has to be done “Come what may” He’s also telling us that he was in bed when it dawned on him, and the fact that he says ‘Some time today” suggests it almost slipped his mind, otherwise he would have stated the exact time.
Well you did ask didn’t you?;-):smiley:

:smiley: Yes I certainly did :smiley: and I thank you for the detailed observance. This is extremely interesting, however, I would question that he is suggesting it almost slipped his mind and offer the theory that he indicates a state of disorganisation :wink:

The last 2 lines need altering.

Revised edition …

The Journey - or Evacuation

Sos I gots up this morning - some shape
My eyes were just slits trying to focus on the landscape
No appetite either but I did munch on All Bran flakes last night
Sos I should be regular and won’t have to strain with all my might

Off on a journey some time today
Sos I have to get dressed come what may
And carry out some ‘jobs’ - responsible I am you see
Just waiting for the strong coffee rush to hit me

Sos give some thought to my plight - some empathy
Blimey - just thought - all that coffee and pee!
Ooo - I will take a p*** pot, with glee :smiley:
And balance it precariously on my knee

To boldly go are we!

I would Grunt, if I wasn’t disgruntled.

keep rappin Mike you must be the yougest rapper here??:mrgreen:

To Keep Learning

Heads fill up with ‘stuff’ all the time, don’t they
It’s a wonder to me - entertainment like - makes my day
When something surprises me out of the blue
Yet, confusingly enough, something I subconsciously knew

I watched a film tonight and enjoyed it a lot
Not heavy, just relaxing, not mind bending a jot
I realised I only recognized the actors by their voice
Not faces but inflections of which they had no choice

So there you go I have learned something today
Great, as I love to improve come what may
Not for me a life of indolence and waste
To become ‘more’ is more to my taste

Whatever

Not posted a while but I’m here today
Sitting on the sofa having decided to have my say
Quite content as my belly is full of rich food you see
If you are safe, warm, fed it seems enough to me

Technology might well be our undoing I have heard
But sitting here typing on a big screen it seems absurd
As I revel in what computers are doing for one and all
I’ve tried the alternative and it was boring - the world seemed small

So, enjoy life as you can and take advantage of what we have now
Some old ways are as good as ever ever but appear dated somehow
Life surges forward at an accelerated pace
Then again they call it the Human Race
