I'm going to try to move this /to the top/ as you all well know on webtv
we scroll down. All of those ridiculous will dockery and ying posts will
bury this one. I'm hoping everyone will take a break from replying to
Will Dockery's /poetry/ for a little, so that the important stuff can
get away from the 11th and 12th pages.
Thank you,

~Good Day~

That’s a Murders row!  I don’t see the name Horatio?
Do try a set list, if I am to follow PJR I need renew my Library card
Preparation is important.
If Houstman I must practice Iyengar and learn Sanskrit
Bhujangasana assumed.
If any of the Ladies I find myself following, well
A complete review of  Wordsworth, Coleridge,
Keats, Shelley, Whitman, Goethe, Tennyson and Wilde
Is in order.
     Did I forget to mention Blake?
Piping down the valleys wild
Piping songs of pleasant glee
On a cloud I saw a child.
And he laughing said to me.

Pipe a song about a Lamb:
So I piped with merry chear,
Piper pipe that song again --
So I piped, he wept to hear.
------
Piper sit thee down and write
In a book that all may read --
So he vanish'd from my sight,
And I pluck'd a hollow reed.

Ok I'm ready

good luck with that request
and I'm not being facetious

why do change your 'handle'
so often, why not your real name?

bloody cheek, why do I alone qualify for a question mark? I always post from
my proper email address as well and feature on the Gallery in both brunette

sonny, so I can mangle it appropriately

     Just to clarify:  that is Colin W-A-R-D, from
C-A-N-A-D-A, not Colin W-I-L-L, from S-C-O-T-L-A-N-D.
Some are easily confused by names that start with "W",
it seems.  And by shiny objects, I would assume.

plate and organizing it, Horatio.

Don't let the power go to your head, sonny.  Suddenly, you'll be
writing sonnets and living in Ohio.

You have been warned!

Hey, I thought I was a day ahead of Dale! Now I see the Horatio scenario
(I'm taking up drinking again). Never mind, it's just as well I die by /his/
sword (heh).

Well, the list is just of participants, not order.  I have already begun
convoluting the order to suit my own nefarious purposes.

Cheers, Aitch. :-)

um, I hesitated (-: ergo, lost ;-) 'cuz I wasn't "here" for the event
previous, and I'm /still/ not sure of all the details, BUT :-) if you
were to split The Master List in half, and, say, Julie were to make
of herself a resource :-), you, Horatio, could participate in Julie's
List whilst she played along in yours, in, like, theory. :-) ;-) :-)

***BUT*** 8^D as the saying goes, "There's always [a] next time". ;-)

See, there'd still be the matter of picking a starter-poem for Julie,
since [iirc] that was a detail in which she declared non-interest. I
don't know what the selection criteria are, but I havva Norton's! :-)

And such are the extents of my ~helpfulness~. :-) :-| :-)

Thourm, Cynthia (and anyone else that did not get to participate):  I set
the cut-off (in advance) to keep this from getting unmanageable and to give
everyone a starting pointing (including myself).  Please do not feel
slighted in the least.  Hopefully, if everything goes nicely, we will be
able to do this again and I look forward to both your contributions.

The Tragedy Of Retail Rods


I purchased my new penis on Visa credit
And proudly screwed it on up in the loft
But to my dismay, that very minute
A neighbor peeked and named me "Microsoft"

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
I abhor
That brand new Organ Store
It sold my wife a puss
That looked more like a noose
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
I despise
The way my new "thing" lies
Limply, squat and flat
I did not expect that

Oh the tragedy of Retail Rods
A gloryhole scented like a cod
A strangely tortured former member
Now lies upon the dying embers
And I am starting to doubt there is a god

The tragedy of Retail Rods

My wife now calls me No Bulge, just for fun
But I suppose it's better gone than it is sported
Lying now outside there neath the sun
Someone biking by said I must be thwarted

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
I abhor
That brand new Organ Store
It sold my wife a puss
That looked more like a noose
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
I despise
The way my new "thing" lies
Limply, squat and flat
I did not expect that

Oh the tragedy of Retail Rods
A gloryhole scented like a cod
A strangely tortured former member
Now lies upon the dying embers
And I am starting to doubt there is a god

The tragedy of Retail Rods

just noticed (remembered) I'd changed my e-mail to dodge spam-

I've no filters fitted, but something like TELEPHONE GAME AAPC, big and loud
would be a help in distinguishing it from letters suggesting I should remedy
inadequacies in my manhood or people kindly wanting to bank £Millions in my
account.
