mine's a pint of Best
mines afull of coal and slag
beware of fire-damp!

"Beware of Fire-damp!"
cried Thatcher to the miners
as she shafted them

barrie · Mon Apr 03, 2006 12:39 pm

as she shafted them
she cut some big crude oil deals,
made it up in gas.

Minstrel · Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:38 pm

Made it up in gas
Came down in a ball of fire
R101

barrie · Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:46 pm

R101
multiplied by 1 + 1,
2(R101)

Minstrel · Mon Apr 03, 2006 6:04 pm

2(R101)
a double room to which my
math skill should be sent

twoleftfeet · Tue Apr 04, 2006 8:32 am

Maths skill should be sent
for a break in the Catskills
on the Graph Zeppelin

Tue Apr 04, 2006 8:45 am

On the Graph Zeppelin
My God you should have seen us:
The figure head was....

barrie · Tue Apr 04, 2006 11:14 am

the figure head was
an O instead, the page was
quality vellum.

Tue Apr 04, 2006 11:46 am

Quality Vellum
Entered the dining room of
The Bangkok Hilton.

barrie · Tue Apr 04, 2006 2:51 pm

the Bangkok Hilton
distant cousin of New York
Paris Hilton's crap.

Bombadil · Tue Apr 04, 2006 4:33 pm

Paris Hilton's crap
sticks in everyone's mind
like it's worth knowing.

"Knowing" being key
Ask the video clerk for
"Booked Room with a View"

pseud · Wed Apr 05, 2006 6:12 am

"Booked Room With a View"
was my request for a room
at the Bates Motel

barrie · Wed Apr 05, 2006 8:29 am

at the Bates Motel
ripped shower curtains standard
big sharp knives extra.

twoleftfeet · Wed Apr 05, 2006 10:08 am

Big Sharp Knives Extra!
Tony Blair shuts down Knife Shops
on the Ides of March

barrie · Wed Apr 05, 2006 10:33 am

on the Ides of March
come to Bury St Edmonds
but not to praise him.

twoleftfeet · Wed Apr 05, 2006 3:36 pm

but not to praise him
would seems a little churlish
Who said "Saints be praised?"

Bombadil · Wed Apr 05, 2006 3:56 pm

Who said "saints be praised"
must think himself among them--
egotistic fuck.

barrie · Wed Apr 05, 2006 4:09 pm

egotistic fuck
went right out and bought himself
a bigger mirror

Bombadil · Wed Apr 05, 2006 4:12 pm

A bigger mirror,
with distended edges to
enhance smaller parts.

twoleftfeet · Wed Apr 05, 2006 4:14 pm

a bigger mirror
lauds and magnifies his name
among other things

barrie · Wed Apr 05, 2006 4:20 pm

Among other things
reckons he can play guitar.
He picks a good nose

Thu Apr 06, 2006 11:10 am

He picks a good nose
From the surgeon's catalogue:
Blue, bulbous; with wart.

juliadebeauvoir · Thu Apr 06, 2006 1:34 pm

He's good with a sword,
Roxanne doth turn up her nose
fickle, fickle gals...
