You're a laxative waiting to happen
A nose bleed that doesn't stop
A DIY disaster
A swine that's for the chop

Like a recently used shit house
no-one follows where you're going
Non decoratum mi condo
Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen

Typical state school (semi) educated, working-class ignoramus! How DARE you omit the hyphen - It's Llewellyn-Bowen. You rough types always did know how to rub him up the wrong way - I think that's why he keeps going back for more.

You lookin' for a punch up the bracket? Mind your bleedin' manners.

Blimey, the rubbish we get on this site.

Kindly take your roistering brawl out of the drawing-room.

Like a recently used shit house
no-one follows where you're going
- inpsired Working Class (WC) humour, but alas, not the level of sophistication that one expects from a Forum
of this ilk.

Sir Alfred Garnett

Ha ha,

A little bit JCC a little bit HMHB, but still your own.

Lighthearted relief, more required!

mmm, everyone seems o be having a good laugh about this one,
so I'll reserve serious criticism,
except perhaps to suggest
that efforts such as these,
as fun as they may be,
don't really belong on the Experienced board.

and the word shit
is neither a prerequisite
nor an indicator
of working class wit.

NO!

But:

"like a recently disinfected shithouse, you're clean round the bend"

Arguably is!

Which from of course that line was derived, inspired, stolen or in the deepest sense, alluded to.

Get with it man, are you still reading Keats?

LMAO!

Keats? Where the hell did that come from?

Actually, I hadn't made the Cooper Clarke connection, Sunday morning here, sorry.
Thanks for pointing that out.
Stil, it adds nothing to this poem, whether deliberately alluded to or not.

Not a big fan of JCC, but certainly not reading Keats, my friend.
Always more of a Byron/Tennyson man.

B.

Ahhh Tennyson,

iBESTwatCHwhatIsAYthen

was that spot on?

I liked it You're a laxative waiting to happen - I hope I can remember to use that line as a put down at some point.

Thank you one and all for your comments.

My apologies for taking so long to reply, but I've been drinking a healthy amount of coffee with my new friend, Brian.

Cheers.
