Poems Section?

129 replies

Davros · 18/08/2004 22:23

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to have a Poems section. Don't laugh, listen!
In the SN world there are a lot of "inspirational" poems around. However, I find them rather distressing and don't want to come across them in the day-to-day threads but don't want to prevent someone who might like them from seeing them. My idea is that we could post a separate conversation per poem with the title of the poem and (SN) in brackets. There would also be other poems, such as ones for teachers, nannies, grandparents etc so it wouldn't just be SN.
I'd be happy to start it off if it appears as I've got lots of these poems and don't mind spending a bit of time posting them.

There was a young lady from Manc
Whose hygiene, was frankly quite skank
She put on clean knickers
To shag some fruit pickers
But the pickers said, no love, you're rank

There once was a dong from Dumfries,
Who was always so eager to please.
He'd stand straight and tall
But had no luck at all
Cos his helmet was covered in cheese.

NottsMum · 20/08/2004 14:13

Bloody hell! I'm away for a morning and find this..... FILTH...... great! I was rather surprised to find my poems thread had spawned such a huge interest. I only know one limerick well, I often quote it, and its not dirty...

There was a man from Huddersfield
Who had a cow that would not yield
The reason that it would not yield
Its didn't like its udder feeled

That should say udderS feeled of course.

What about the one that was in the Bridget Jones film?

There was a young lady from Ealing
Who had a peculiar feeling
She lay on her back and opened her crack
And pissed all over the ceiling

Ah but davros, ours are all originals, well mine and sm's were, assume others were too! We had great fun mulling them over

coppertop · 20/08/2004 18:55

Mine were original too. Dirty limericks are about the only 'poems' I can write.

I suspect they won't be mentioned in the next MN book though.

lou33 · 20/08/2004 19:03

Why doesn't that surprise me CT

Actually I think mn should do a "mums on dirty limericks" book.

I nominate Lou (got a mind like a loo!) and Spacey (what planet is she from?!) as Mumsnet Laureates. I'm sure they will take commissions for poems to put in cards to MILs!

Am honoured (i think) !

OMG - have just sat here pissing myself at these. Lou33 aren't you supposed to be a moderator saving us from such filth .

lou33 · 20/08/2004 22:43

Ah but technically I am the special needs mod

I would of course come down harshly on those who offended if I had a complaint (mod hat off, back to thinking up limericks...)

coppertop · 20/08/2004 22:50

Moderator indeed! And I can't help wondering whether Tech is reading Tech2's filth and sniggering too.

lou33 · 20/08/2004 22:55

I should be afraid CT, tech2 is the only one in charge next week!

lou33 · 20/08/2004 22:55

Lets start a limerick for spacemonkey.

There was a young man called saul.......

coppertop · 20/08/2004 23:00

Who had just one hair on each ball.

(The limerick - not Tech )

whizzz · 20/08/2004 23:00

Who was incredibly tall

whizzz · 20/08/2004 23:02

Sorry, I'm just not rude enough for this thread - sheltered life you see !!!

Miaou · 20/08/2004 23:03

There was a young man called Saul
Who had to paint spacemonkey's wall
He used up the blue
So added pink too
Now spacemonkey has a mauve hall

lou33 · 20/08/2004 23:03

There was a young man called saul
Alas he had only one ball
For having one plum
Made him feel oh so glum
Til his girl gave him one in the hall

lou33 · 20/08/2004 23:04

Don't bank on it ct

She will kill me when she sees this!

Miaou · 20/08/2004 23:07

Makes my version look rather innocent, Lou!!
