Don’t tell me…you wrote a fecking poem about it?

When a tradesman finishes a job at a house in Scotland, it is an old custom to offer him a wee drink. ‘Would you like a wee dram ” the lady-of-the-house asked a joiner. ‘A wouldna’ say No,’ he replied.
The lady produced the bottle. ‘How do you like it, Sandy?’ she asked.
He replied: Half whisky and half water. An’ pit in plenty o’ water.

Very ‘suite’ William. I actually smiled at that one. And not a clit in sight – marvellous!

When I was 15 I was more interested in ‘how’s yer father’.. :wink:

one space left Pete – that should be yours then…

I demand a recount!!

I will be able to make London Cas, as long as there are some of the 40’s Gang there and as long as there is no sex involved.

Hats off to Gary (a Scottish hero). He gave up his career to spend crucial time with his family and comfort his wife in her last years. Martin O’Neil did the same. Both were at the peak of their earning powers. You don’t get many men like that. Real heroes both and I wish them every success in the future.

at LAST! some REAL poetry!!!! Well done Mary!

CHATGUIDE REALLY SUCKS AND CHATGUIDE D ICK SUCKS?? What is all THAT about? Don’t they teach the phonetic alphabet in schools anymore?

Yup Angel, I was a wee rascal as they say..still am if I am allowed to get away with it :wink:

ok, thanks for the link (prose wasn’t on your first one was it!). I understand now – it probably WAS prose and therefore, by definition, poetry. Why did William get so defensive then ffs??? It’s not as if this was one of his particularly perverted stories (I don’t think he even mentioned ‘clit’ once for example). Maybe his little girls’…[Read more]

thanks wolf – a lot there for me to read through and understand so it will take time, probably months. It may well be ‘prose’; but I don’t see that on the list so does that mean it was NOT poetry i.e. I was right (not that I am bothered about being right, i just want to understand why I am wrong!!!).

well you say if I want to comment, I should comment – then, when I do comment you think I am being argumentative. I told you i didn’t know what i was talking about so am asking for an explanation. I would be interested in debating/discussing but I am NOT interested in fighting. You would probably drink lager anyway William :wink:

No, William, I was being serious. I believe there are hundreds of variations on poetry, I just don’t see how this is one of them. It’s potentially a very short story with an interesting twist but could someone explain to me how it can be classed as poetry?

Is this even a poem?
I thought it was just a lot
Of very short sentences

With spaces in between
Another title could have been
The Electricity Man Cometh (geddit?)

I hoped you had just made it up on the spot but that’s a compliment, not a criticism. I assume you had a song in your head that you tried to fit it to but I can’t think what it might be…
