The Peccadillary

Member since 2002 · Posted 17 Mar 2006 · 9 comments

To pull a book out from the shelf by its spine. To soil the bras on Claire Sweeney's clothesline. To park a disabled on a gentle incline. To fellate a whole legion of soldiers in line. To deny that secant is one over cosine. To go on a bender with communion wine. To draw on a drunken girl's face while she sleeps. To walk straight on by while a Christian weeps. To defend British military doctrine at Ypres. To spray brown on the crops which another man reaps. To drain all the oil from Methodists' jeeps. To deliberately pluralise the word 'sheep' as 'sheeps'. To toss off in a bush on your neighbour's front lawn. To give to a hobo but shower him in scorn. To commute in a car which has been declared SORN. To pretend to have had an affair with Shane Warne. To sneak out of the lab with some alien spawn. To look at your dad's stash of bakery porn. To travel to Oxford but pay just for Bicester. To rohypnol your best friend's fiancée and fist her. To address a Knight of the Realm as a "Mr". To stir in your loins near your gran when you kissed her. To fiddle the dial in a league game of Twister. To squat over and guff on the face of your sister.

HA! Supreme, once again. You prove once again to be the poemranker Master of Rhyme (P.I.) Give me one good reason why I shouldn't blabber childish adulation all over your poetry!

'To address a Knight of the Realm as a "Mr."' - unforgivable.

Sweet lord 'twas remarkable. I do hope you do more. Particularly funny: "To go on a bender with communion wine." and "To address a Knight of the Realm as a 'Mr'." *10*

It's all got me feeling quite delirious. "To deliberately pluralise 'sheep' as 'sheeps'" is no mere peccadillo, though--it's an abomination!

I'd love to see your take on an abcedarium.

I'd just like to say, I grew up on your poemes.

Very droll squire, very droll indeed.

I can only imagine that in your claim that "To pretend to have had an affair with Shane Warne" refers to tabloid claims by a young lady that she misbehaved with him following day two of the Old Trafford test in the 2005 ashes series. I can assure you that this was no pretence, and while I have no proof that he slept with her, leaving the bar "Saltwater" in central Nottingham with said young lady in tow is circumstantial evidence enough. I know this because I was there, and I saw it with mine own two eyes. Watching the aforementioned Warne depart first ball the next day to a viscous Simon Jones lifter almost made me cry with laughter. 10.

Dear Americans,

I almost began to explain this comment but I'm not even going to try.
