"Hey! Mr Poet."

Yes?

I'm small, I'm thin
I've the looks of a
rubbish bin, no hair,
my brain is like an empty drain.

I'm in despair, my legs
look like a chicken's pair,
Rudolph's nose, twelve toes,
everyone laughs wherever I goes
Hey! You're the poet!"

Yes, I know it.

"I want a better writer
if this is the best you can do."

Hmmm, what would you rather me do?

"I want you to write me, big and strong,
Have all the girls swoon and throng."

Hmm ok, have it your way.

"I'm big! I'm tall! With these looks
I can't go wrong, I look so cool.
You rotten bugger, you're far too cruel!
gosh damn it where's my wedding tool?"

Well if you were polite
I'd have written you an
enjoyable wedding night.

"Ok, ok let's not fight
but what you've done
will give the girls a fright."

Right

"WHAT! now I'm a transvestite!"

Goodnight.

Oh, Andy! You are so funny...and good. But most of all it is wonderful to have you back on AD. (I'm a wee bit late on the Welcome Back [where you belong], but having medical problems for too long a while...'tho still trying to kick!)

VERY good, Andy... competition stuff, I'd say, and the rhythms and rhymes almost perfect... just the poet's responses seem not quite to fit somehow, in terms of rhyme-pattern - but maybe that's intended as part of the joke because the "subject" is more the "rhyming poet" in this instance than the poet himself, if you get what i mean! :))

anyways, you know i only say ANYTHING of this ilk cos you want my absolute, down-the-line thoughts on what you do writ xxx enjoyed, fankoo xx

She chuckles...What fun! And what a unique point-of-view to write from, Andy. Yes, it was best to stop at "transvestite". Heaven knows where the argument would have led to, LOL. You nut...

'Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head/Found my way downstairs and drank a cup and looking up, I noticed I was late/Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat/Found my way upstairs and had a smoke, then somebody spoke and I went into a dream...' Sorry, but the title...
