Says he: 'So - good news?'
Says she: 'Oh the letter - yes, quite good - my husband's father appears to have died'
Says he: 'Oh, sorry to hear it'
Says she: 'No - don't be - crazy old bastard - death was too good for him...'
Says he: 'Did he leave a large inheritance in his will?'
Says she: 'His recipe for cream pastries...'
Says he: 'I like cream pastries - oh by the way dost my hair lookest okay? I had my barber bunch it up and triangulate it so it resembles a boat?'
Says she: 'Sorry? No, I hadn't noticed... Wouldst thou like to go into the chamber while my husband's out shooting the riff raff - for a bit of - thou knowest - henky penky?'
Says he: 'Sounds like fun - I've never had a henky penky before...'
Says she: 'Oh - 'tis certainly fun! Er why are you looking at me like that?'
Says he: 'Just admiring your unusual helmet - did you make it yourself?'
Says she: 'No - my Contortionist bought it back from the wars - though I did however design the embellishments and inlays...'
Says he: ''Tis a very fine looking object - would thou mindest terribly much if I were to wear it whilst devouring thine henky penky?'
Says she: 'Why Sir! I do declare you have no idea what henky penky means!'
Says he: 'Yes I do! It's a type of cream pastry!'
Says she: 'I think you are sadly mistaken if you think I would want crumbs in my bed!'
Says he: 'Well please don't thou leavest me hanging here - art thou going to explain the term?'
Says she: 'I'm not sure - I quite like thine definition - wouldst thou promise to eat my lady particulars like a cream pastry?'
Says he: 'Will it take long? I do after all have a carriage to board before the midnight hour...'
Says she: 'That is an interesting point thou hast raised...'
Says he: 'Oh this - I had nothing to do with it - it raised itself - it seems to happen whenever I discuss cream pastry...'
Says she: 'But we've moved on since then - unless thou meanest thine tongue exercises?'
Says he: 'Are we talking about the same subject? Just to clarify because I'm not certain we are...?'
Says she: 'Well I wouldn't want to have to explain myself too clearly lest it ruins the moment (giggles)
Says he: 'Thou art inviting me to consume thine edible licorice flavoured pantaloons art thou not?'
Says she: 'Not precisely - I mean I suppose thou couldst if thou wishest - but I was referring to an even more intimate article of mine?'
Says he: 'It is beyond me to even guess at what thou mayest be referring to - what could be more intimate than-'
Says she: (in a hushed whisper) 'I'm talking about gobble gobble...'
Says he: (confused) 'No sorry - thou hast completely lost me...'
Says she: 'Wouldst thou prefer some cream pastries? I'll get the maid to bring some in shall I!?'
Says he: 'Well I am rather famished, and I do believe cream pastries wouldst really hit the spot at the moment!'
Says she: 'How about we both eat cream pastries - after thou hast eaten me first?'
Says he: 'Eat thou? Why wouldst thou wishest me to eat thou?'
Says she: 'Because I'm hot! Dost thou think not!?'
Says he: 'Oh thou meanest eat thou! Yeah sure - I'll be in on that. But thou must in turn promise to eat me too - reciprocate the favour as it were...'
Says she: 'We could do it at the same time - form a number so to speak..?'
Says he: 'Sounds kinky! What shall we call this number - 96?'
Says she: 'Tee hee - naughty boy!'
Says he: 'I think I'm getting a stiffy!'
Says she: 'I certainly hope so!'
Says he: 'It might be best if thou somehow slip out of all that material - look at this stuff! Thou hast more threads on thou than the average Egytian Mummy!'
Says she: '10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1... Blast off!'
Says he: 'Oooh!'
Says she: 'Aahh!'
Says he: 'Gurgle splutter - I appear to have caught a stray pube in my teeth!'
Says he: 'Don't stop! Don't stop!'
Says he: 'Hang on - Dost thou have a toothpick?'
Says she: 'Here - use this bobby pin... But I don't think it's mine - though it may belong to my Brazilian waxer - what colour is the item?'
Says he: 'Black'
Says she: 'Oh that be one of my husband's!'
Says he: 'That's got it! Now where was I?'
Says she: 'Thou wast- [gestures] and I wast- [gestures]'
Says he: 'Oh right - just get back into it then shall we?'
Says she: 'Mmm mmm!'
Says he: 'Mmm mmm!'

Just then her husband walks into the room, camera loaded and ready

Says she: 'Darling! Look! I've caught some more riff raff for thou!'

Walking along the road in the rain
The streets empty except for me
Think I might duck into an old bar
Get me something 12 years old or
Even older because I have a sure
Thirst for a old oak-cask matured
Vintage single malt maybe on the rocks

Tangerine peel left in bedded in sky.
With subtle glimpse of a rocket leaf.
Lavender scent fall from heavens above.
Fisherman watching the sky in all glory.
The sea fell in love with the tangerine sunset.

Wow! That was some party - how did I end up on a boat?
Lovely sunrise out there - I wonder where in Hell I am?
I don't recognise this place - not even from a postcard -
I know - I'll do a compass measurement and try locate it in
Google Earth! Hmmm the co-ordinates seem to indicate
It's a deserted undiscovered Island somewhere in the
Pacific where the natives wear rings in their noses and
shark teeth around their fat cannibal necks - I hope they
Like company - I wouldn't wish to crash their party - not
especially at this hour of the morning. Oh look there! A
welcoming committee - waving their spears - they seem
quite pleased to see me - I guess they don't get many
visitors around here being undiscovered and all - Wonder
if they speak English - that would be a boon to our civil
communication - maybe they'll have an interpreter or
one of those electronic devices

'What did he say, Senior Interpreter?'

'According to Live Search he say: ''Hullo! Me White God! You
Give me all your gold for these worthless plastic beads, yes?
Nice place you have here - I'd like to steal it and build resort
Complexes if you don't mind - not that it matters to a bunch
Of throwbacks like you because you won't be around - you'll
be shipped to some other island a long way away - Bikini Atoll
- how does that sound? Sound good you nincompoops? Better
Than you deserve blah blah blah..." '

There's a planet - it has a strange atmospheric thing going on which is outside of my understanding

What do you suggest we do? Blow it up!?

No - I think we should just go and have a stir with the primitive natives - let them take videos and photos of us and then disappear into the night so that their peers think they're nuts

Sounds like fun

Oh it is - even they start doubting their own sanity after awhile - hilarious!

Blow up well that rate the human kind we are half way already?

Most of us are one short of sandwhich sosays go.

I think the next poster is supposed to write a poem about this pic then post one for the next poster....(plus I can't be bothered writing a poem and if I could paint this, I would!)

Quite right Delta but while I was writing/editing zoo got in first - and so I hurried in a fit of panic!

I think we're back in sync - though of course I could be wrong

[Delta40]

lol. you're wrong (that was a really baaaad poem MM)

[zoolane]

Delta and her Goats.

While the wind is on the up.
Dust, goats flew up all over places.

I have landed in a tree.
Th legs dangle below.
I want to get down but now.
Dust up in my nostril maybe if sneeze it will sent back down.



MM Painted.

Multi color cover the fields.
With fabric of the landscape.
Lines from farmer machine in crave in dirt.
From gigantic hill top we see all across are color land.

This one was bad?

I'm confussed - and really pissed that my good poem has been lost

That was good zoo incidentally - the tangerine one I mean! (though your second was pretty funny as well)


So what am I doing?

Cows in trees

Cows in trees are silly things
And quite a sight to see
They flock there in the winter time
For to breed occasionally

Occasionally they just have fun
And root away merrily
With gay abandon, leaving the
Bulls to pull themselves, see?

How this works is quite complex
Involving the use of toys
Strap-on dildos are all the rage
To make them function like boys

The scientists are fascinated
And have taken many photos
You'll be sure to find them
On the web - just type in sexy potatoes

[Delta40]

My mummy prays
then says
I'm worth more
than any plastic
string of pearls

[free]

You fed not my Muse
o Delta40 with lovers
in their happy days
nor my desires lingering apace
a dame looks from above
and waits a young man
to erect her bent

I'm an evil old witch and I like to *****
Nothing's ever good enough and my arse is starting to itch
Don't come too close or I'll strike you down
Using the curse I got from Medusa and it involves my frown

I live in a house up a hill which is steep to climb
No-one visits because they're afraid of me so I go out all the time
Seriously I'm rarely there - all me enemies elsewhere
This is neither here nor there as I'm the only party in town - so there

Don't come around - I really mean it - the place's a dump
If you do I'll bespell you and you'll have to run like an old oilsump
When you knock you'll be greeted by my toyboy Pierre
He speaks French like a native but I don't care - his accent curls my hair

Which is why I wear this new model sorceress cap
- To lock it all away, for if I don't - bugger! I think I need a crap!
I'll keep talking to you while I'm on the dunny
Just hang on a little while and don't dare run away

What else would you like to know? How I ride a broom?
I do that of course - we al do - though mine is turbo-charged - VARROOMM!!!
It gets me to the shops on time - even before they open
But I need a new carburettor - maybe you'll fix it - here's hopin'!
