Bernard Manning's is a fat racist tosser. Frank Skinner's just a tosser, although I did like his 'Why the wide face?' comment to Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
A venture into the sad underbelly indigenous British music hall tradition. Pathos out of comedy - a classic paradox. Very nice.
I don't think the labour party want you to be whore. Mr. Blair is too nice a man for that. I think there's some middle ground between the housewife and the prostitute.
Poor and inane - 3 points, and only because you did at least include some kind of structure. Oh, and as a professional bebop saxophonist, I implore you to stop embarrasing yourself by displaying the vast gaps in your knowledge - "shoe-be-do-be-do" is utter bollocks. Proper bop scat singing goes something like this:
"Oo-bop-eel-ya-da, bop-sh'bam, a-klook-a-mop". Show some respect, you cock-knocker.
Pretty darn good! I really like the idea of "dusty throated saxophone" - tell me, young sir, do you ever listen to the great tenor saxist Lester Young, 'cos he was close to Lady Day (hell, he came up with that moniker!), appeared on some of her finest cuts, and it just so happens his fabulous tenor sound was the dustiest and warmest sound going (or was that a deliberate point you were making?) Good work, sir - you have style (said he, shuffling off to his record collection with a glass of malt whiskey...)!!
Pah. I permit myself pissy little comments on anything I want to, Sir Yarbird! 'Whose', not 'who's', for God's sake. PLEASE. Though Wordsworth's personality is quite well put.
'There is' indeed... People are not asking for more blood here. We are asking for this to be something more than telling us what happened. This reads like a newspaper article. There is nothing interesting about it. It's very sad and all, but nothing more. as I said in a deleted comment, try writing it in nursery rhyme form. That might make it quite touching, if you did it well.
Ta muchly, my good fellow! Oh, and for anyone else who reads this poem, don't take the 'pissy little comments' thing personally (except maybe -=Dark Angel=-, who really SHOULD...)
There is many types of poems. Most of which people will not understand. I could not put everything I saw in this poem because it would become too graffic. How many people would want to hear that when I walked up to that little girl that I saw brain matter, blood comming from her ears, nose, mouth, and eyes. I tryed to let people know that what had happened was because her mom did put her in a car seat. Her life could have been saved for that reason, and to show the irony, when one person dies others learn from it and try not to make that mistake. hint the last 4 lines. I am sorry I did not put all the bloody things that I saw in this poem but maybe what one person likes, others don't.
I'll glad you recognise Mr. Donegan's genius. I phoned my dad on Monday, and he'd been listening to all the old records in memory of the great man. I've never been to it, but I'm sure the Rock Island Line is a mighty fine road.
Yon Sir Yardbird, your deft wit is deliver-ed with panache and quick dispatch. Hurrah. No pissy little comments from me.
"Well, the Rock Island Line...". How many Brit and US musicians did Lonnie influence? Impossible to measure. A seminal artist in the history of RnR and folk rock. On this side of the pond, we just lost Adolph Green.
The badness is quite palpable. it's like ectoplasm, but it smells like cat pee.

Nicholas:
Very nice poem. It certainly expresses my sntiments very well.
Here's another limerick in regards to Good old George:
There was a young man named George Bush,
His brains were stored in his tush,
He took an big shit,
And became an instant hit,
With the American people--------- who somehow seemed to like it.

it's like really bad syllogisms, but crappier.
I'm guessing magnetic poetry and writing down verbatim the ramblings of that drunk on the floor in ladie's lingerie at new year's. or it could be a joke. what's left of my optimism hopes it's a joke.
icky.
You get points for 'Pokemon herpes'.
Eye hate to tell you this, but you haven't improved.
