ODE TO NICHOLAS JONES III

Member since 2002 · Posted 2 Dec 2002 · 8 comments

{Sorry to repeat myself and if I end up doing more repeats than ITV but anyway...} I'm Nicholas Jones, I'm so poetic, I'm such a charmer, I'm so magnetic! My poems are as sweet as sugar, But I can't read them...I'm diabetic. I'm Nicholas Jones, I'm just so good, I'm more of a legend than Robin Hood! But the diference between me and that people's hero Is that I'm a better actor than Robert De Niro. I'm Nicholas Jones, I'm known worldwide, I'm oh so good, and full of pride, But I have one problem which makes me grumble.. When your as good as I am, its hard to be humble!

excellent, and you will annoy people further with the Robert De Niro reference no doubt.

This is very funny. Worth a nine. Regrettably, very few people know me outside of my own head.

By the way, I'm genuinely honoured by being the recipient of these poems. I'm serious now, and not taking the piss.

'But I can't read them...I'm diabetic' is probably the funniest thing I've come across this week.

Boring drivel. My cat writes better poetry.
