Teaching Brian Drivel

 

Brian thinks what I write it is drivel

I guess he's entitled to his view

But methinks he is quite simply jealous

'Cause he can't write good drivel too

 

I'm trying to teach him in private

Not charging pounds, shillings or pence

(Forgot you're now working in euros)

Shit! Now I feel stupid and dense

 

You thought this a genuine mistake Brian?

I don't know my euros from pounds?

You're wrong, I did skilfully construct it

As drivel, which I meant it to sound

 

I hope he can take from my lessons

Tips, rhymic gems that he does seek

For I know he has poetic eyes on

That revered crown WOL's Poem of the Week

Perhaps Brian should petition WOL for two categories of
"Poem of the Week".
Posh of the Week - for garrulous guff.
Tosh of the Week - for silly stuff.

ANYA

Drivel = twaddle = gobblygook = tommyrot.

Brian and I have taken many years to perfect this art. And yes, it is an art Anya. We are both degree'd from the School of Silliness (Spike Milligan also learnt his trade there. He was a few years ahead of us)
