I'm a fool, but please think of me as a jester   Posting 1 NONSENSE VERSE; OR, THE SILLINESS OF THE IAMBS Alas, we're doomed to disagree On what defines bad poetry. The silly poem's another matter, Embraced by every mad mad hatter. ("Easy for him to say," you mutter, "He is clearly such a nutter!") Dear friend, please let me explain: Us silly sorts might be quite sane. Leave aside your apprehension. Silly verse can ease your tension. Come, and bring your wackiest stuff. Here you can be silly enough.

His plan was to go and bake a flimflam flan. Full of air and lots of room to spare. Filled with ramblings and brambles. Took it to his friend Han who lived in an outspan. Where Han would take to eat at the fun fayre. Then later both of them went fishing in Amble for quibbles. Sat down and grumbled whilst both of them talked to a van.

Morton Sideswindler] Many people on the B P thread Were writing silly poetry instead The trouble is That some wasn't silly or bad by far - Having a certain je ne sais quoi However, by train, boat, verse, sentence, ambulance or car This silly thread might be another star Together would be great , but as a rule While you're busy acting, being the fool I fear the first thread Will beciome forgotten, dead, No more than a faded memory Along with its poetry. [And anyway, Spike Milligan rules, for me!] Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Nonsense verse; or the silliness of the iambs Posted Mar 17, 2009 by AlsoRan80 This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 12 Ode to Paul "I am old" said the crone. And tired, frail and bent, Yet always has interest, In Paul's every attempt. He chats and encourages, gives strenth when 'tis needed, I sure wish that he Could fly and be greeted, by all of his fans, who hang on his words. Dear Paul when will you come, To these shores that are girded With lots of us waiting, By hearth, road and heath. Dear Paul please come quickly, Or we shall all weep. Well not really.. But it would be great to meet you before ... well you know what happens to ten out of ten of us. !!

I think I will invite him for tea. As well as supper with cod and brie. We will go to the seaside for a shopping spree. Then we will full of glee and lots of good chi. This will give us superhuman powers that will make us fly. So let us fly to the sea with slices of bread and ghee. Where we will spy at the sky and look for a guy called Bligh.

(The midwives were admonished for unsavoury mirth.) He's old now of course but still can be found, Conversing with himself as he walks round and round. One head is high brow, admires paintings on walls, The other's quite low and talks utter b*lls.

Onions can be made to serve Instead of scrambled eggs. The skin from off the custard Makes covers for my books Whilst crackling from a leg of pork Will help with trapping rooks.

The Queen of the takes high tea at ten, With the King of repartee who's stuck for a word. He eats a dictionary a day and a thesaurus as well. But every other word that he utters comes out absurd.
