The Newsagent

 

Why are there sox in the newsagent ?

Hanging all paired with their mate

When right next door to them's a men's shop

This really does make me irate

 

Why are women's bags in the newsagent

Both leather and vinyl to be had

When a women's bag shop's in the complex

Gosh this does make me real mad

 

I notice the agent stocks papers

(Which seem to carry nothing but gloom)

Yet no other shop's stocking papers

(Which seems a bit unusual to me....)

Po

I see BM has been backward in not coming forward with his elucidation.

Then again he'd have a nerve coming back to elucidate on my blog

What's that?......hens don't 'say' they 'cluck'

Gimme a break....haven't you heard of poetic license?

Humour rules the WOLer roost
As liking hens go cluck
Then suddenly there did appear
A dirty ditty, fuck (they said)

They looked hard at this ditty
And saw this waddling duck
They thought it was out searching snails
But duck was out of luck

The hens they could not comprehend
This ditty 'fuck a duck' ?
They couldn't see no fun in this
So went 'way cluck cluck cluck

Despite this dirty ditty try
To knock them off their perch
They were a quite religious lot
(In prayer bowed down at church)

What's that?....

You didn't know chooks went to church ?....

Complaints/concerns should be PM'd direct to moderators, not with vague innuendos on personal blogs. I don't like it.

I notice Brian you did not make a comment on the poem? Surely this is the whole purpose of a comment box?......

You raise an interesting point Brian.
As someone who has reduced severely my number of posts, preferring to delete each one after a day or so, I sometimes feel that the blog section has indeed become another social media portal for our most prolific posters.
In other world (one with far more development resources than WOL possesses) it might be better to have different genre sections, such as, autobiography, humour, natural world, political, social commentary etc etc.
As it is it appears the humorous sector is currently ruling the roost, whether this puts 'serious' posters off I don't know.
Personally, I prefer to seed my own blog, with a link from my profile.

Parts of this site are gradually morphing into Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. And posters of quality are slowly ceasing to post or comment. Not sure what the answer is...WOL is a broad church but some members are kneeling down but refusing to pray.
