Was in mid post, and it vanished!
Oh well, here it is anyway.....
At least the second verse has lines that rhyme. Dunno why they call lines that don't rhyme and are of the right length poetry:roll:
Best watch yourself Goodfellers. Alistair Stewart found himself in a bit of a pickle over Shakesepare......
So he did...quick thinking on his part. I'm no Caliban.
Maybe Dozy didn't like my 2nd verse!
Feel free to add lines.
There once was a man from Caithness
Who's spelling and grammar was all over the place
There once was a man from Caithness
Who's spelling and grammar was all over the place
He got texts from Mackay
That gave him a twinkle in his eye
But his mum said Let me sell the story
Or I'll cry
So she sold her son to the Sun
Now she's spending the money and having fun.
Aww, thought that was going to be a limerick. Now thats a proper poem format - Rhyme and rhythm
There once was a man from Caithness
Who's spelling and grammar was all over the place
He got texts from Mackay
That send his pulse sky high
But his mum found out an took em to the press
Orkneycadian...is that the sort of thing :-)
There once was a man on a forum
Whose posts showed little decorum
He liked baiting others
Who weren't his brothers
But one day his rubbish will bore um :)
There once was a "leader" called Krankie
Who's heir would wear the green hanky
On the left so to pull
The young lads still at school
And now everyone thinks that he's manky
Nicky had a little lamb
It fleeced tax paying Jocks
Then texted party activists
For pictures of their hens
Think that last one above needs some work on the rhyming yet.
There once was a chap called Mackay
Whos text left him high and dry
The young men were in awe
Of his promises of what was in store
Now all he has is press banging on his door.
The boy stood on the burning deck
Of the SS SNP
And said "where did it go so wrong
This ain't Fan-Dab-Ee-Do-Zee"
The ship it took another lurch
And all 'twas seen was sky
The boy he clung on to the mast
And cursed that plank, Mackay
The other way, the ship rolled back
The waves were sinister
And all because of actions
Of the ex First Minister
To port, began, the ship to list
Upon the stormy sea
Again the boy he did so curse
That Bloody Natalie!
The boy, he looked towards the sky
And entered into prayer
To curse the southwest Reverend
Who called him The Betrayer
The boy he closed his eyes and prayed
"Please save me from the fire"
When the ship was saved from fatal peril
By Boris on a zipwire
Someone has to much time on their hands! :)
Someday, if you have a minute, I'll give you a rendition of that classic nursery rhyme "Mark McDonald had no charm"Quote:

I think two someones have much too much time on their hands, but going by posting rate, orkneycadian has more free time than you.Quote:

It's a shame Dozy keeps deleting shortly after posting. I find them really cryptic and enjoy trying to work out the 'real' message.Quote:
