Wham bam thanks ma'am spam.
By patterjack
10 October 2007
As levity seems to be in vogue at the moment, and to fulfill a request, I offer the verse below, amended and added to from when it was written some years ago.

Note, please, verse, not poetry.

Since I got broadband, my offers of chemical assistance and also the company of young ladies has increased manyfold.

The verse generally follows a pattern set by Archy the cockroach .


Wham bam  thanks ma'am spam.

If  the spam about lengthening that I receive
could be taken for granted as the literal truth
my member could then stretch, would you believe,
from my city of Sydney to  that place called Duluth,
Minnesota.

But because then its use would become such a strain
I could carefully call on the aid of  Viagra ;
but then faint from the loss of all blood to the brain  
as it flooded below like the falls of Niagara
Ontario, Canada.

And so at my age I find it quite tricky
(because I've a heart that's gone under the knife)
using drugs that would make its chances quite dicky
and most likely shorten the span of my life
here on earth.

I intend not to fall for this internet con
so my attitude hence will remain fairly quizzical
and before I permit myself to be put upon
I'll eschew those delights that are no more than physical
here in bed.

Indeed I  am  old , though not all  that wise
and would love to discover a fountain of youth.
But the internet whores seeking males of great size
only get the answer from this person uncouth
Give over. *

I never thought I'd see you write about such subjects Brian! You've astounded us all! I'm afraid that the internet brings you more than you bargain for, but don't believe everything on offer. My poor husband could have women queueing from here to London and back if only he would say "yes". ha ha - (but I keep him busy with his little jobs instead, which are better for him).

I too receive such importunings. Since I don't have the physical wherewithal to improve upon, I am more than a little troubled, dear Uncle Brian, and wonder why young ladies offer me their attentions. 
 
Very much enjoyed the final lines to each stanza .. particularly the asterisked last one. So restrained of you :grin

I thought you showed remarkable restraint throughout. I don't know what's wrong with me, I receive no offers of any kind. 
 
Enjoyed this, but glad to note you remain at least 'quizzical.'

I always enjoy the result when you turn your attentions to us poor plebs and throw us a little morsel to chew on. 
It may just be dogg- not wait, I got that wrong last time. It may just be verse but it was done with such skill and grace and showed the others how. [if they had the wit to learn] It was still the real McCoy. 
Don't they have security firewalls in Oz or would that be considered too elitist and snobby.?We have McAfee security suite so don't any of that; mind you it does bring a whole new set of problems with it. It can isolate the whole system.  
Raised a smile and that is a rare occurrence in the poetry forum.
