The female in the cell next door
doesn't seem to be up for it,
apparently,
according to the guards
(whatever "it" is).
I'm not surprised - you should see the
bags under her eyes.

The retards keep giving me the thumbs up,
telling me I'll soon be getting it on
(still no clues about "it")
Fuck off (I told 'em)
I'm trying to
eat..

Now the bastards have stuck their
TV outside my cell.
Nice one,lads, I thought (China v England)
but no; it's just the same old show
over and over -
A couple of my distant cousins
doing some dodgy
acrobatics.

I'm not watching this shite -
Not only can't those Weebles
work out who goes on top,
but it's in black-and-white.

Thank you very much Geoff. I was quite happy never to have had to consider the concept of panda porn until now.

I was puzzled by the first reading - bamboozled, you might say (bamboozled!!!) - but the link explained it. Very neatly done.

Glad you liked it!

Brian Emailed me with the PANDA PORN Reuter's clip - I wonder how many hits I would have got by now if I'd used that for a title?

Chuang Chuang and Lin Hui have been at the Chiang Mai zoo since 2003 and were officially "married" two years ago. However, they have shown little inclination to consummate their union.
I just watched Sofia Copolla's extravaganza in organza (Marie Antoinette) and realized that Mr and Mrs. Panda are not that much different than Marie and Louie.
Geoff, you are a funny guy. Here I think I am reading about a prisoner and scratching my head--thinking that maybe you did prison time :shock: and then clicked on the link.
That was great!

Hey Geoff...

At the risk of using the word, "cute" it was!! I had the same initial reaction of Julia...thought you did a little time in the "big house". :wink: Very clever.

Thanks - if you could be put away for telling bad jokes then I would be
writing this from a prison cell.

The Panda's name is Arfur - is that good enough for you?

Poor old Chuang chuang.

Neways. Back your poem.

Orignal plot and very fun to to read. Good use of ambiguity.

Well done. Dec
