ahh the meter makes me happy <3
what makes me even happier is the blame being on Liverpool. Mancunian to the end.
and i agree, i saw the title on the blog list and thought "chlamydia? it's actually a pretty word."
but then anything ending "-mydia" is pretty. shame about the definition.

Great example of a list poem, Jeff, shades of Hovis Presley's 'I rely on you...'
Looks good on the page too.

Nice ideas in here. I would be tempted to turn the my into her, just to increase the sense of alienation cos I think its implicit that it's you. On a personal level, aging is blummin scary. I'd recommend eye drops and high lights. This girl's going down fighting ;-) x

Terrific, Isobel. It's great to read something clever and funny. The Underground and Tube line is first class. The whole thing is brilliant and deserves a big clap.

No-one seems to have noticed the disciplined and faithful iambic tetrameters. (Probably too busy scratching themselves).
(But I did - notice, I mean; not scratch).

"Fizzog" is indeed your face and is usually preceded by the adjective "fat" - they have an alliterative magnetism.
One explanation is that it is derived etymologically from "physiognomy" defined as facial expression or countenance.
Do you buy that?

Hi Harry, thanx for your comment on It just aint gonna happen, glad it made you smile.
Not seen your work before (I don't get chance to read as much these days on here with everything else I do) but enjoyed reading this will have to have a look at some more!
Is the stanza about the joke being on you a reference to the Bee Gees song? Its only that we'e been playing it lately! best wishes Jeff

Hi Ann. Thank you so much for your nice comments on my poem, "A Silly Poem About Hair".
My hair has actually always been straight and easily tangled.
I got the idea from an old high school newspaper.
I think your hair is very pretty, goes nice with your face.
Thanks
Shirley

Love the way you build dialect and accent in John - substantiate and plausible seem a bit out of place for some strange reason...
Is a fizzog a face then? I've never heard of that one - it must be a yorkshire word :) x

Thank you, Steve, Stella, Mike. Be interested to know what parts you felt were too cryptic, Mike. It's my belief that any great work (not that this is a great work!) ought to elicit laughter and sadness.
