Hairless John

I'm still exhausted from grappling with patterjack's astonishing quatrain of sestina's, so thought I would lower the tone today. Sorry!

Cheers!

Hairless John

This bandy-legged baldicoot
would barter his arse to be hirsute,
for other coots and their cootesses,
in evening and in mourning dresses,
laugh at him in his birthday suit.

Adorned in plumage now behold 
The baldicoot won’t feel the cold – 
But look at him! As bold as brass – 
He shows us all his downless head.

A pretty amusing piece, I liked this. My family's mixed in terms of keeping your hair or not, some uncles have got full heads of hair while others need to take longer to wash their faces in the morning! So I don't know which way I'm going to go lol! 
Anyway, nicely done, very funny

Bandy legs and bald, my you do know how to get the ladies excited, what with my small wonky breasts I feel a little GW procreation in order, I wonder how the offspring would turn out :p
Really Punchy?!

Are you suggesting recreational poetical GW procreation? 
 
Now there's a thought! 
 
And as for the virtual, malfigured, offspring? 
 
I feel something coming on . . .  
 
Ha! Phwaaaagh! 
 
Cheers!
