Tattoo Poem
64
Snippett
So they piled him in the panda
car and drove him from the scene.
He was peaceable and wearier
than lately he had been
through indulging in a potion
to inhibit neural motion
which was wholly understanda-
ble in someone whose posterior
had borne the ministration
of a tyro in tattoo.
His instruction had been simple -
'On the left, in navy blue,
Angelina, and above it
coupled hearts (I think she'll love it
for its bold and inspiration-
al enhancing of a dimple)'.
But the over-eager Eddy
in a bid to make his name
added anchors and an anvil
and an unadorned dame,
seven pheasants and a weevil
(that looked hideously evil)
and to crown it, an incredi-
ble attempt at Rupert Granville.

shay - Thank you for your eloquent response.
Paraglider,
This poem is pure gold. I loved it!
I like it! Very entertaining :)
I don't think you need help at all! Priceless poem!
GG, UW,mr - Thanks for the vote of confidence. Maybe I'll defer therapy for a week or two ;)
How about for a year or two?
;)
If all goes to plan :)
I actually enjoyed it.. I agree, it was very creative and entertaining. Good job!
Thanks DK - just a bit of fun :)
Paraglider - the words just roll off your keyboard so effortlessly, don't they?
Years ago, I would try to 'loosen' my tongue like Enid Blyton's character Fatty - didn't get me beyond gibberish and I realised that kind of talent is only given to a fortunate few!
Hi Shalina - I'd forgotten about Fatty. He was one of the Secret Seven, wasn't he?
No - the Five Findouters :)
and dog, of course!
I love the Poet in you! You know I am one of your BIGGEST FANS!!

Thanks Carol and brandonfan too :)
Blame the single-malt scotch...I wonder what it would feel like to have such inspiration peering into the loo's watery surface..? There must be a strong inclination to wear a thong at the beach...such art must out !!! And such art you have given us with this little ditty...wonderfully crafted with a bell-like resonance that sings...Thanks Dave, I really enjoyed this...
Happy holidays to you and yours, Larry
Hi Larry - it was a couple of years ago, so whether it was a malt or a grain poem, I can't quite recall!
Have a great Christmas - I'm flying home to the cold tomorrow :)
Very interesting and funny, though full of wisdom. A wonderful poem Paraglider.
Aeriel_ALN - thank you :)
Paraglider - Dear Friend - Your poem is so very funny, and it had the kind of rythm and rhyme that should be in all of the textbooks (worthless things that those textbooks may be...) I apologize for being so late to the table, but, PG, the food was still so very tasty. Thank you.
Gus :-)))
Hi Gus - always welcome, late or early. If you like this quirky form with the hyphenated word in the second last line, you might like my only other attempt at it, here: http://dave-mcclure.blogspot.com/2008/02/ramble.ht
