I just like to write
Little tales of crap n stuff

Force my head to think?
Stuff I could of done...
I'm just wastin puter time

'avin fun
Ah, come on! If you were sitting wasting time you wouldn't bother rhyming. You have a talent for stating the obvious in not so obvious ways. That, to me, is a true wordsmith.

Love how you write with an accent.

I read this
in my best Saaaarf London accent, which was funny enough in and of it’s self [I’m easily amused]… but now I’m thinking to my self, Eric’s either having a pop at those self-absorbed posters of arrant crap [thankfully notable by their absence here today] who don’t seem to have anything to say, but insist on saying it… loudly… OR he’s knocking his own poetry-writing ability, in which case: cobblers... you make us laugh, and think- which with some of us is a bit like trying to get blood from a stone to begin with- and you do so within the context of a skilfully executed rhyme…

not everyone can do that. I can’t… you’re a f’kin poet, whether you like it or not, pal ;)

too much bs
Eric - I know just how f'kin clever you are. I know how nimble your mind is. Gentle readers do not swallow this bit of self deprecating hogwash. heh heh heh

..."force my head to think? Of stuff I could have done..." Such efforts to explore creativity and imagination can produce some VERY interesting results!

At least you write from the soul. That in it-self defines you as a f'kin poet. F@#k anyone who doesn't f'kin think so! F@#k it!

To my Favourites
OK Folks Thanks for your comments.

Wrote the verse in a state of Jetlag. Having just arrived back from a three week holiday in the UK mid-day on the 10th….. My sons wedding anniversary…. woke up early early on the 11th probably around the same time as I got married ten years back to my middle wife .

Must have felt uneasy…. Just ending a holiday happy to be back on Terra Firma after a 2000 mile (UK) trip touring from London to Edinburgh.

Visited as many family and friends (as I have left) assisted by the unexpected death of a cousin which meant some were all in one place… small pleasure from a sad time.

During the trip I managed to make a couple of surprise hospital visits.. the surprise being I didn’t know those family members were in hospital…. The standard of care leaving me glad I am fit….

Gave away (free) my trusty Mercedes (18 years old) that from new had transported mother father and all of my six brothers two sisters somewhere at one time or another. Numerous other memorable people too have shared time with me in that shiny red car.. Weddings deaths births christenings. Ambulance …Pash Wagon… you name it..Hopefully it will end up in a good home since I gave it to the mechanic who has been fixing it for the last few years.

It sat too long guarding that house of mine (House also needs selling) getting square tires…. Put my African Grey parrot in the care of Ivor and Joan, that way I can keep in touch on MSN…

The holiday was fine, rented a chocolate Easter Egg…in the shape of a Peugeot 408… Still wondering why UK is full of Manual French Rubbish…

Travelled through the countryside taking in such wonderful places that only the educated could appreciate…so missed half of it…. Stonehenge, Bath, Chester, The Lake District, Edinburgh, Stirling….to name a few.

Ahh well back to reality…looking forward to a great summer here in Van City. Maybe something to write the odd verse or two about……

Hey I even got to see my old Hanger from the sixties (Teeny weeny Airways... helicopters) opposite Belfast International Terminal… Just a flying visit of course…..

That’s just a fewlittle of the thoughts that run through my head while I tickle the plastics….

Eric

Writin is so easy
Eric said .. then Laughed
If you read mine long enough
It can make you just as daft

One man's trash...
Eric,
Happened in tonight (I've had little-to-none Lit.org time of late) and fell upon this. The poem made me smile; your comment warmed me.

It sounds like a wonderful trip, and a well given gift of the beloved auto. You have mentioned that car before, and it's easy to see that it was nearly a family member. I've had a few of those myself.

You are a crafty poet, in many senses of the word, and it seems that having fun was something instilled in your family-
and we get to benefit from it!

thanks for your light-hearted verse
and best thoughts your way-

Elizabeth
