Pleasure. (Leisure Spoof)

What is this life, if, led like this, We have no time to stand and piss? No time to shit beneath the boughs, Or else all over, like the cows, No time to frolic as we pass, Or hide our nuts beneath the grass, No time to streak in broad daylight, And give the neighbourhood a fright, No time to turn at someone's glance, And watch their breasts, and take a chance, No time to slurp out of a can, And eat our beans straight from the pan, A poor life this, if led as such, We haven't really time for much.

From Owen to Davies--how eclectically you spoof. Clever. ;)

Why thank you. I of course do not simply spoof. I have over three hundred poems written under a different name and on a different site, only three of which are spoofs. However, I intend to focus on toilet humour on poemranker as I see no need to be serious at all.
I think I am going to find and comment on some of your poems, as you have been extremely kind.

A wonderful satire on one of the worst poems ever written about farm animals. I forget who wrote it but I remember vomiting on the shoulder of the girl in front of me in class when I read it. She was a stary little cow anyway.

What is this life, if led astray
We haven't time for banter gay?

I look forward to reading more of yours :-)
