SENSE OR CENTS - AN AGE OLD PROBLEM
do you know who that was?
who bumped me on the stairs
I couldn't see, there was no light
either that or I am going blind
NO, SORRY
well do you know who that was?
who phoned me up just now
I couldn't hear, the music was so loud
either that or I am going deaf
NO, SORRY
well do you know who that was?
who poured salt in my morning tea
I didn't taste it right away, funny thing
either that or my tongue is out of sorts
NO, SORRY
well do you know who that was
who burnt my steak last night
I didn't smell it right away, very odd
either that or my nose is all blocked up
NO, SORRY
do you know who that was
who touched my heart a while ago
I didn't notice at the time, I'd looked the other way
either that or I've got a heart of stone
NO, SORRY
do you know where I can get a 6th sense from ?
or maybe a used gut feeling
or just a cheap simple hunch
or even pure guess work
NO, SORRY
Oh heck, I'm not much use here any more
so take me down the knacker's yard and turn me into glue,
I must be worth some spending cash
perhaps enough for ciggies & a beer
John, Bravo! You continue to amaze me.
Sorry? No.
Kismet? Yes.
C.I. neigh neigh old lad. thrice neigh
letty -------- I very rarely do amazement but for you I'll make the effort & go the extra line
John, your poem is, of course, an extended metaphor.
Prestidigitator of the written word. <smile>
what's that letty ??????? I only write this bollox, I don't understand the technology.
I don't do rocket science
lol, John. A magician--an illusionist--the hand is quicker than the eye..
Poof!
See? C.I. is looking on from California--you are bolloxing in England and Letty is washing clothes in Florida. Now if that isn't magic, Houdini will have escaped in vain.
letty/flo -------- not only escaped but got caught in Oz by a bloody great crocodile.
that's 1 escapologist to go with extra boots on the side
Wow! my response vanished! How's that for a Las Vegas act.
Ahem--continuing:
UhOh, John. C.I. is walking away from a croc with a smile on his face...
C.I. look out!...(snap) too late. I think he just got had by Houdini.
and captain hook's alarm clock got gobbled up by the croc who is going to terrorise SAn fran........ Bay. argggggggggggggggggggg
Well, let's just hope that C.I. got hooked off the stage, John. He can't sing worth a hoot, but we love him anyway.
Never smile at an alligator,
He'll give you a lift in our elevator.
Letty ,, I am not rising to the bait on that one. not even if Otis says it's safe as houses
One pun leads to another, John.
"Oh, hi! Is Miss Otis in?"
"Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today."
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, mmmmmm.
And she's sorry to be delayed,
but last evening down at lover's lane
she strayed, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
When she woke up and found
that her dream of love was gone, madam,
she ran to the man
who had lead her so far astray.
And from under her velvet gown
she drew a gun and shot her lover down, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
When the mob came and got her
and dragged her from the jail, madam,
they strung her up
on the willow across the way.
And the moment before she died
she lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
crunch, brunch, lunch. I gotta hunch the broad is thinking about dinner at Mac D's or Dinkin Donuts
