Couldn't resist. Mary, you need to find more of these for us to play with.


Sweetly sings the jelly in my socks
Of days when grass was red.
Never hear the stain of rocks
When almonds run to bed.

Arthur washed his heart in tea
To clear his bills and fungus.
Wrappers blow on eight trombones
To satisfy the righteous.

This isn't verse of any kind
To satisfy the ear.
There is no thought or reason
Why this should appear here.

Awash with brazen bastardry
This forum has become.
And all because of Witzl
Who wrote poetry for fun.

I am deeply moved, Phil. And not a little envious, too. 
 
Get rid of that last verse and I think you have a serious contender here.

I was wondering how long it would take you to cave and write one of these. Pretty bad. Well done.

Could you let me have the name of your dealer? 
This reminded me of an old beatles song, the name escapes me 
The ironic thing is the people who would probably win this contest wouldn't dream of entering it because they think their stuff is wonderful

Either "I Am the Walrus" or "Come Together" I'd think.

If it helps, I put them in my head, too. Though Beatles songs often are. Look what I picked for a username.

To rid yourself of wergles 
As they flomp across your grass - 
Just sprinkle them with seasalt 
Then put them in a glass.

..never. i have no idea why I didn't post a comment on this, because it was this poem that inspired me to write the appauling 'marinaters'. Well when I say inspired...I didn't actually get past reading the first line because I was too busy laughing. 
" Sweetly sings the jelly in my socks " 
 
Thank God it wasn't the jelly in your Y-fronts! 
 
Rancid of Romford.

I was wondering: is it toe-jelly in the U.K. or toe-jam? Whatever it is, that first line is just inspired.  
 
Anyway, jelly singing or jam humming, it's all poetry. Right?
