The Knocking Shop
A bloody great big Knocking shop has opened down our street, A place where all the visitors like to go to meet,
It used to be a guesthouse with lots of different rooms, I've never been in myself it's just something one assumes.
Mary from the dairy's there so is Li-lo Lill, They supply the condoms as they're not on the pill.
Big Bertha fills the window a rather frightful sight, and she shows her full moon at 10 pm each night.
Titillating Tina also does her bit standing at the front door with her ciggy lit.
The local bobby often calls for a cup of tea; I think he gets some extras, But he won't tell me. The parish priest and vicar too have called to say hello from what they've both been up to there's a dent in their halo.
The girls get paid a lot of cash it's just their way of life, I've just knocked and asked about a job there for the wife. (Hope she doesn't read this) |
very funny Written by kevinrobson73 (441 comments posted) 13th May 2005 | | a lot of mileage with this one | hehe Written by nascent (106 comments posted) 14th May 2005 | yes, I agree with Kevin, you could keep going and even set it to music for a bit of fun. Just a little thing but Mary from the dairy's there (not their) and there's a dent in their halo (not there) cheers nascent | Funny you should mention that... Written by Ostara (61 comments posted) 14th May 2005 | Haha, I did laugh Oxy, as it brought back memories for me No I didn't work in one... I used to have a lady live in the flat above me who 'entertained' regularly. She liked to play 'Rawhide' a lot!! Anyway, the simplicity of the format goes well with the cheekyness of the language, although I would possibly have a rethink on some of the lines to get the syllables a bit more even (e.g. the last line has one to many - pehaps 'a job there for the wife' might fit better? The length is good, not too long for the subject matter, and the ending was funny too well done! | I like it Written by The-Joker (2 comments posted) 18th May 2005 | I enjoyed this one I must say!!!!! The ending was excellent! Good poem, a thumbs up from me! | Written by oxy (28 comments posted) 19th May 2005 | | Thanks for the kind words and advice, I will try a follow up shorty. | The Knocking Shop Written by maipenrai (784 comments posted) 5th June 2005 | Ha,this made me smile,a good write but please forgive me I think you could take this a little further, you have a great Story line here Bernie | The Knocking Shop Written by maipenrai (784 comments posted) 5th June 2005 | Ha,this made me smile,a good write but please forgive me I think you could take this a little further, you have a great Story line here Bernie | Made me laugh Written by Leigh (254 comments posted) 19th April 2006 | I see you posted this quite some time ago, but I've only just discovered it in the 'Work awaiting review section' so thought I'd add my comment. Very cheeky little piece, saucy postcard-ish. The references to the policeman and vicar made me chuckle in particular! Yeah, you could make a whole story out of this (in rhyming couplets!) - there's so much potential. |
