for sale to delta and mary d ( challenge met)

[Jerrybaldy]

I have this springy thing for sale
It gave me many hours of hell
It exercises your abs I'm sure
for a flabby belly it is the cure
It has two handles on each end
you will not believe how much you bend
to stretch this bloody thing apart
you may well accidentily fart
and sweat, blaspheme and wonder why
you ever gave this thing a try
but persevere and you will find
it trains your body and your mind
the greatest chest the tightest rear
Pamela A, not even near
You'll look better naked than lady Godiva
and its yours today for only a fiver.

lmao! oops just lost 12lbs doing that! Maryd, you may make the first bid!

[angliholic]

LMAOT.
It's so hilarious and funny, Jerry!

[dafydd manton]

Look, mate, if this thing's going to make me look like Pamela Anderson, you'd better hang on to it, because if I looked like that, there wouldn't half be some confusion. Furthermore, at my time of life, accidentally passing wind is an everyday hazard, risking more would be dangerous - and not just for me! I offer 30p!

[Delta40]

do I hear 35p?

[dafydd manton]

When you think what the poor machine has been through, I'm afraid 35p might be a bit steep.

[Delta40]

mmm. you might be right. sounds like none of us are overly interested in acquiring stuff which will tear us away from the computer...

[Jerrybaldy]

ok, ok. £1.50 and I will chuck in a bag of wine gums.

[dafydd manton]

I trust they aren't the ones where you tried a few, found you didn't like them and put them back in the bag.

[Jerrybaldy]

only 2 or 3 are sticky.

[dafydd manton]

Story of my life.

Wrong forum, Jer -

Us poets are not the fittest bunch,
my muscles are like souffle
I'll stretch to 50p - a hunch?
You might make more on e-bay.

H :-)

[Maryd.]

Sorry I'm not family with pounds and so-on. So I will take it of you hands for 5 cents.

[dafydd manton]

Hang on - that's a bit extravagant!! There are roughly (very roughly) 2 Dollars Oz to the Pound Sterling.

Thank you H for the tip off
For you I tip my hat
But at 50p its a rip off
I'll get you two for that.

Mary and Daffy
My fairweather friends :P
Sorry, sold out. :nono:

[dafydd manton]

They say that if you pour water on a duck's back, it runs off. So what? I bet if I poured water on your back, you'd run off.

[Haunted]

if it's still available, would you consider barter, Jer? I have a jumping rope I know I won't use again...

[dafydd manton]

Oh, H! That's cruel. It leaves a mental image I could live without!

[Haunted]

LOL Dafy, you're cracking me up

[neilgee]

Very entertaining poem and equally entertaining comments from Dafydd particularly (especially can sympathise about the farts).

I'm tempted, actually, to buy I mean, since my youngest son has got the swimming bug since I finally got him afloat at the age of eleven, and it would be nice to have my six-pack back to impress the lady swimmers.:smile5::crazy:

[dafydd manton]

I've got an old Party Seven you can have!

[Delta40]

how a bout a trading it with a broken plastic hoola-hoop?

[dafydd manton]

Jerry with a hula-hoop? That's another image I could do without!
