Don’s mate Skip (pictured above) is refusing to speak to me after I featured Priscilla and Ralph in last week’s post. He’s gone to spend some quality time with this Kangaroo friends. Meanwhile Don continues working hard to bring you more Flippant, Comic, and Serious poetry. Enjoy this week’s offering!
I Am An Offbeat Poet

I am an offbeat poet
Don’t follow any norms
Correction – norms of rhyming
(To give it some sort form)
Since Thalia (my Muse of Mirth)
Arrived I rhyme more fun
My humour writes have increased and
Now number more than one
No matter poet type you are
And what you are about
The purpose of our writing is
To bring what’s inside out
Yes?

The Archive Monster’s Coming
Before FCS I was part of another online poetry group. At the end of each month they would archive everyone’s poems. This little poem was quick to reassure the reader his breed would not disappear and be gobbled up by the Archive Monster… actually he doesn’t look scary at all

The Archive Monster’s coming
Quickly, you me read
Don’t worry though, my poet will
Continue with my breed

A Strange Happening

A strange thing happened yesterday
When I did tap rotate
My bladder had this funny urge
And said “Go urinate”
I have a scientific mind
And had to know the reason
Why my bladder told me this
And why it needed easing?
Knowing Google’s reputation
In solving strange events
I quickly typed in ‘”Please help me
Why to the loo I’m sent?”
If you are tuned to science
I’m sure you’ve jumped ahead
My climax will be lost on you
This pee/tap thing, you’ve read
For those who are still wondering
Google helped me out
Why this pee/tap happens
What it’s all about
Psychologists they tell us
Suggestive power’s at play
Cos running water sounds like
Urine pissing ‘way
So if you need to do a pee
And urge has gone abscond
Simply turn a tap on, listen
Bladder will respond

To help you if you are struggling to pee between now and the next Trilogy I have provided some music to help you go pee…..
Yes he does look rather sullen, or ‘pissed off’ as some would say…
Poor old Skip!
He’s just gonna have to learn he can’t be the centre of attention all the time…..
Not when he has Priscilla and Ralph to contend with!
I’d rather be pissed off than pissed on.
🤣 fun reads always Don!
Wouldn’t we all? 🤣
apparantly not my husband and son…. Harry pees on them daily.🤣 A boy thing?🤣
I have a towel and an upside down trick when taking him out.
Oh dear poor them 😳 hope Harry’s doing ok 😘
I know right?!
Harry still has a great appetite and managing ok but watching him closely! Thanks for asking!
Pleased to hear it: bless his little cotton socks!
so sweet and laughing!!! shhhhh he must have heard you… he started barking.. 🤣
Thanks Cindy….
