Tis me (Revised)
2 eyes that are sparkling blue,
1 nose that’s badly askew,
2 ears that appear slightly chewed,
1 mouth that’s perpetually rude.
2 arms that are gangly like twine,
2 legs that can’t dance in time,
1 heart that pumps thanks to red wine,
1 bottom to dispose of the grime.

1 nose that is unfortunately askew,
2 ears that appear slightly, quite chewed,
1 mouth that is perpetually rude.
2 arms that are gangly like twine,
2 legs that can almost dance in time,
1 heart that is healthy thanks to red wine,
1 bottom to dispose of the excess grime.

Sorry, not sure about nonsense sites, Mick. Still, if you start googling Lear and limericks and dongs with luminous noses you won't go far wrong.

Mick, some suggestions to improve the rhythm. Swap "unfortunately " for "badly". Omit "quite". Line 4 use "that's" rather than "that is".
"2 legs that can't dance in time". "1 heart that is pumping red wine" . get rid of "excess" .

I'm out of faith and in my cups
I contemplate such bitter stuff.

Mick,
Good stuff, thoroughly enjoyed! I was unsure about 'appear slightly, quite chewed' - as well as it being a bit of a mouthful, 'quite' felt somewhat redundant following 'slightly'.
Cheers,
Jon

I like this.
I feel lines six and eight could be tweaked to make it flow?
2 arms that are gangly like twine
2 legs that can mangle a dance to the time
1 heart that is healthy thanks to red wine
1 bottom to rid the wealth of the grime
Fun though!

The revision reads a lot better, another fun write and a good opportunity to try something different.
I keep wondering what's coming next, you have some enjoyable lines in this.
Good to see almost everything found its way into the poem.
Thanks

to anticipate touching what is unseen seems far more interesting than seeing what the hand can not touch
