A man of many parts.

[harry hayes]

Wrote this a couple of weeks ago. Might just appeal to any umpteenager on here. Contains some small amount of poetic licence.

 

My birth certificate says 78 today,

I'll call it seventy two;

A lot you see, isn't really me,

Some parts are fairly new.

 

The Lord decreed three score and ten,

I'm out of gurantee;

Replacements keep me going -

Plus an annual M.O.T.

 

The tooth fairy took all my teeth,

Outlook pretty Grimm;

I keep the replacements in a glass,

Fairies fly - but never swim.

 

Without specs I'd need a guide dog,

Have a four wheeled walking frame;

Beethoven type of deafness,

Pre hearing aid, the same.

 

Yes, I've falsies in my chest,

But they're tiny bye-pass tubes;

Wrong what you were thinking,

Au naturel - men's boobs!

 

Silicone though, is in my knees,

New hips? - I'll soon apply;

Then to chase the girls again,

Please remind me as to why.

 

Hoping soon, my years are up,

And no, I don't mean heaven;

Thinking forward to the day,

Seven and eight is eight and seven.

Nice one Harry.

[Wingnut]

I read the poem and thought, yeah that's good I like it. Then I started to read it again, trying to work out who it was by. then I realised it was you yourself Harry. One word, three syllables, BRI...LLI...ANT.

[harry hayes]

Thank you gentlemen, most kind.

 

Happy days

[Dizzy]

As already said... it's BRILLIANT Harry

 

I'm glad I had a look in the poety topic now as it's not a place I usually frequent I must come here more often

 

Will point my dad in the direction as that will apeal to his sense of humour (and his age)

[harry hayes]

Many thanks Dizzy for those kind words. Much appreciated.

 

Happy days

[Jerry]

Way to go Harry! Well said, well scanned, well written. I'm envious of your skill. Admirer of your philosophy.

[harry hayes]

You're back in the will, Jerry.

 

Best wishes Happy days
