Mark's Poems & Prose

Reply for Mark:

It all depends on what you need
To enjoy what’s left of life
If someone plants a tiny seed
It might turn into a wife.

Nothing wrong with that of course
If that is right for you
But real true love you cannot force
But I’m sure you know that too.

Before the plunge you need be sure
That this will be for life
And love each other “warts and all”
before you take a wife.

I hope it works, for both of you
Big change to have to make
Hope you’re ready for this too
For everybody’s sake.

Good luck.

Very good :slight_smile: .

What I find fascinating with poem writing is how much you can cram in in just a few verses. I mean to write about ‘The Visit’ in longhand in detail would have been laborious and either very short or too long in all probability, yet with a poem your thoughts to words flow easily and bar for a few hiccups with suitable rhyming words it is so easy to do, enjoyable in fact. Seems too that everyone can do it and enjoy it. Certainly is very habit forming.

Perhaps its a good way for you to release “stuff” Mark.

Yes, I have been releasing a fair bit of stuff lately :wink: . Does you good for sure :smiley: .

not suitable

Mark, you’ve been quiet of late
Are you still out on a date?
Or been at the booze
and still having a snooze
Or still pondering over your fate?

All of those I am currently occupied with
Though a bad head vodka decided to give
Me, as reckless I was with the bottle of grog
Probably I could do with a hair of the dog

The ‘mystery woman’ should take some blame
As it is her house and I’m playing her game
Though she is ruing the application of so much drink
Cos sex isn’t something of which I can think
Temporary abstinence will undoubtedly do her good
I don’t want to spoil her by overusing my w***

I have travelled far to pastures new
Out of the window there is a very different view
There is a bloody big green berry laden shrub
And we just sat down to some fabulous grub

What was for tea
A nice piece of Cod?
Chips and mushy peas too?
But ease off the vodka, you silly sod -
If your lady you want to woo. :wink: :smiley:

No sign of the maestro appearing with rhyme
Perhaps he’s busy at Christmas time
Maybe tomorrow he’s treat us all
To his fine verses, some short and some tall.

Come back all is forgiven!:slight_smile:

He’s busy caring and sharing
This love to him is new
And will need to be looked after
For good un’s are far and few.

Spur of the moment Xmas poem …

Up to my neck in booze and junk food
Drunk, laughing loud and talking crude
Well, after all, tis Xmas ain’t it
And I’ve just been told off for acting like a bit of a tit
Ah, but I’m having the last laugh cos I don’t give a shit :slight_smile:

… I was told off for eating a box of chocs all by myself :slight_smile: .

Ah, acting like a bit of at Tit
Because you had a tipple
Is this because you got Abreast
Or are you just a Nipple.:lol:

Chocolate!

Why does chocolate taste so damn good - just rude?
I can eat bar after bar and box after box, depending on my mood
I luvs it without a care in the world and shrug at any sort of restraint
It goes down so well with a cold glass of something strong - I sure ain’t a saint
My only cause for concern is when I attempt to dress once again in a skin tight jean
Out of my pjs I have to force myself - hell I once was so lean
Oh f*** it a diet I can go on soon as I want if not tomorrow
Just one more bar or box will not add too much sorrow

F*** Xmas :slight_smile: .

Dilemma for Sunday

Too much Vodka, too many chocs, whatever will become of us ?
Today we need to buy some stuff but that may involve catching a bus
Is it worth it ? I ask myself … do we deserve to be rude in health
Or slob around in nightwear grand and eat the trash which I put in the can ?

Chocolate’s hard to put in verse
No other word will rhyme
Orange is even worse
So I won’t waste my time.:wink:

BRAVO! to Rachel & Jem. great stuff.

I found this JEM, writtn by WW Skeats,
That lately grew its fragrant stem on;And next, to give her pleasure more range,I offered her a juicy orange.And nuts, she cracked them in the door-hinge.[

It seems like a good time is being had by all :lol:
What is even better is that two people sound happy :cool:

You certainly know your stuff RJ, is there nothing that has escaped your keen eye for literature, you are indeed a great man with words and long may you continue to reveal the fruits of your knowledge so that we may all benefit.

Well Mark, what can I say?

"There is a man from welsh Wales,
Who tells such extraordinary tales,
But I think it’s the whiskey that makes him so frisky
And put too much wind in his sails. :wink:
