Thanks Mark.

As a child I was fluent in double dutch
My early deafness, left it as such.
My best mate Mark, Well he was Malk,
he didn't care about my useless talk.
I was something of a star in the playground.
Come boys and girls and gather round,
Listen to Jerry, he is an absolute scream.
Who wants this twat in the football team?
Get him to say something wrong, its great
I fought quite a few, to repay for my trait.
But in English I had a gift to write
and the words won friends, lost in the fight.
I wrote of these boys and girls as mates
in a fantasy world inside school gates,
where we had more fun than the famous five.
Talking was no good, but my pen was alive.
Speech therapy meant it all came to pass
and I no longer wrote to save my ***.
Malk became Mark and is a friend to this day
and not speaking has left me with plenty to say.

what a wonderful snapshot of your history.

Whoever this is who has copped the late, lamented Jerrybaldly's name, he's good - but not half as good as the original Jerry!

[dafydd manton]

Trouble is, Prince, it's extremely good, but if I start paying him compliments, I might set a precedent, and then where would we be? I wouldn't mind, but it's a touching little piece, with some brilliant self-deprecating humour, but I dare not tell the old boy!

aha Daffy! but can you say that in Double Dutch? :smash:

[dafydd manton]

More often than not, I regret. I'm breaking the teeth in for a friend - and it's a Rottweiler.

[Delta40]

je tanden breken voor een rottweiller? Wat betekent dat in het Engels?

[Jerrybaldy]

Prince
I killed him in a guest house some time ago. I am after all the cereal killer.

[dafydd manton]

Persoenlich habe ich die Rotti sehr gerne, obwohl als ich in Deutchland wohnte habe ich ein Schaeferhund gehabr, und zwar mit der Name Jerry.


(Ich soll mal sagen dass ich im Bundesrepublik als Berufsoldat bei der britische Luftwaffe war, und zwar bein einem Nachtrichtungsstaffel.)

[hillwalker]

his Doppelganger, but he taught you well

[Delta40]

now you're talking double dutch.

[dafydd manton]

No, that was Sanskrit

[Jerrybaldy]

Is nice to know years later Im now the only bugger in the playground making any sense

[dafydd manton]

Worrying, innit!

[Delta40]

lol. does anyone know what language that last post was in?

[dafydd manton]

Not a clue!

[Jerrybaldy]

double d??

[dafydd manton]

I got a funny feeling it might be Strine.

[Delta40]

translated to Oz = Streuth!

[Jerrybaldy]

I aint complaining but got to laugh at how certain poems break down in minutes to a bunch of mates (use the term loosely daffy) throwing wits about. its all so different from the litnet beginings we researched a while back thanks to Delta.

[Delta40]

well the depression forum was really dragging me down. Nobody wanted to hava laff.

[Jerrybaldy]

hey delta, did I ever tell you about my thoughts on an odour of chrysantemums ? well what it is....... oh look scotch eggs my fave :D

[dafydd manton]

Give you wind, mate!

[Delta40]

hey delta, did I ever tell you about my thoughts on an odour of chrysantemums ? well what it is....... oh look scotch eggs my fave :D

I love a good scotch egg!

[dafydd manton]

Beats me how they get the hens to lay 'em!

[Delta40]

all things Scottish are tougher....

[dafydd manton]

Aye, have you ever seen a bunch of haggises down town in Glasgow on a Saturday night?

[Delta40]

no but my mother and mother in law are both small but tough as nails - in fact they can pull nails out from wood just with their accent!

[dafydd manton]

Lol!..

[Delta40]

I have about 40 mins before I go off to play badminton Daffy. Want to pen a poem together?

[dafydd manton]

I'd dearly love to, later, but not now. It;s just gone one, and me poor old adipose ruins need some sleep. I love the idea of a co-write some time though, could be a major giggle. PM me with some ideas, whilst I'm off in the land of Nod, and we'll play with it. Thanks for the suggestion!!

[Delta40]

goodnight Daffy

[dafydd manton]

See yer, Del!
