The Prize Bully
By Talisker
29 January 2007
Someone hereon accused me of being a bully. 

I can only answer absurdity with an absurd ditty.


Ah! You missed the black friend,
went straight in the red!
You know there’s nowt in this game
For two in a bed!

Relax! you still have time,
for the board to revolve.
And it would be a crime,
if you lost your resolve

The cash you won for charity,
is here and it’s safe,
Try to aim towards the board,
there’s no need to strafe.

If you miss with this dart,
it’s the bus fare home,
But if you land iiiiiin one!
it’s a garden g-nome.

Hard lines! You missed mate,
look what you could’ve won!
What d’ya mean a motorboat’s
no good in Bolton?

Too bad, it’s bendy Bullys,
a tankard and some darts,
Your missus loved the caravan,
you’ve broken her heart.

Can’t beat a bit of Bully,
on a Sunday afternoon,
To appreciate it fully,
we need that famous tune…

DA DA, DA DA DADA DADA, DA DA, DADA

Talisker, You can be a bully and how. 
I can take anything that's thrown at me but there are many writers who would be intimidated by your reviews. 
You are recognised as being one of the best.  
Be constructive in your critic. 
IT IS NOT WORTHY OF A WRITER OF YOUR STATURE TO BE SUCH A BULLY.

Evening Oli, been poking wasps nests again? Storm in a teacup about bugger all if you ask me. Still, you do have a certain talent.  
 
I think I'd better review your poem. 
Wonderfull memories of Sunday tea times in student halls. The corridors would echo with cries of, ' And Bully's special prize,' etc. 
Plenty of lakes and reservoirs in Bolton Coosh - all that rain. 
 
Enjoyed. 
 
Phil.

A very good summary of what was presented in this popular programme. 
The imagery had to be good to relay the format and play of this game. 
I have a photographic mind and so was able to translate those images of that show from the work.

The poems are coming thick and fast today I nearly missed this. You just can't win with the monstrous regiment can you? You get nagged at from me and accused of bullying from another it's enough to drive you to poetry,poor lad. A well judged response. You seem to be able to knock them out at will 
cheers
