Wilfred & The Shell-Shocked
This is a corner for poetry, rap and almost any nonsense wot rhymes.
There once was a man called Batutta
who regularly travell’d the route A-
berdeen to Belize
Back & forth without cease
And who thought the whole thing was a hooter.

01/03/09 The Muse (not sure which one) visited me again last night. I was remembering how much I liked Cairo, where I spent three very happy weeks far, far too long ago. This came out. Sorry, Salim…
A sultan called Salim the Grim
Cut off his long hair on a whim
‘Forsooth!’ said his mother
Much less of a bother.
Next time you’ll need only a trim’
20/09/09 Whilst listening to some beeb soi-dissant pundit interviewing that man everybody (except me) seems to want to sleep with, these sad, sad days, this came into my head. Yes, I know…
A smart-alec MP called Vince Cable
Of the New and Improved Lib-Dem stable
Said: “With my wonderful grasp of finance
I will lead you such a merry dance
That your brains will spill over the table”
07/10/09. And here’s the latest blossom from my garden of Hell. And I don’t give a toss, either, if folks don’t agree with it (or vice versa…)
Said a Hamas leader, one Khaled Meshal:
“I know our methods are not too halal.
But they could be much improved
If Netanyahu were removed
And with him the Psychotic Cabal”
22/01/10 The Mad Muse Strikes Again (alas…) Semi-sincere apologies (for the massacre) and many thanks (for the “loan”) to Don Jose de Esproceda.
Con diez jamones por banda,
viento en popa, a toda mecha,
abre en el mar una brecha
un velero bergantin.
Bajel pirata que llaman,
por caradura, El Refusenik.
Desde Santurce hasta Grosznik
esparce pavor sin fin.
Next stanza…well not any time soon, mercifully.

Escribiría alguna cosa en plan literario, pero no se me ocurre nada, ni ahora ni nunca, lo siento.
pero puedo criticar la tira todo lo que escriben los demás, ea !
Acabo de leer : Mendez Alberto – Los Girasoles Ciegos, esplendido libro, no digo más, se ha de leer.
Lastima y tristeza pero por 3 motivos:
- las historias contadas seguro que NO superan la realidad
- es el unico libro publicado por Alberto Mendez
- Alberto Mendez…..se ha muerto hace unos años…..païs!

A queen of the gorgans, Dolores,
Put her trust in good wine and calories.
When invited to diet,
She said “will you be quiet”,
I seek not life’s privations, but glories.

Reg, me dear, you’re a good man! I’m so thrilled by the fact that ANYONE at all has bothered to check this section of my site! And I do love your limmerick. In fact, I am a devoted limmerick fan myself. Me and my mate Mick, whenever we get together, spend hours of our valuable time (for life is so short, innit?) concocting some of the silliest examples of that much maligned genre. You bring much needed life to Wilfred and his chums. Do stay tuned and in touch. We silly, contrary people must stick together.
I’ve had a quick shufti at your blog, but it was a very superficial one, as I’m totally poopped and my attention span’s beginning to desintegrate. But, like the Terminator,…I’ll be back.
As for you being “visually challenged” (oh, that political correctness, that political correctness…), it doesn’t seem to stop you from being massively (and fiercely!) adventurous and appreciating stroppy Gorgon’s rants. Not many people do, don’t you know… But, how do you know I’m fat and that’s because I like me calories? You cunning devil!
Be excellent!

Thanks for being generous and funny.
As to that poor blog of mine, I post too sporadically because people close to me keep sending me distracting and fascinating information, which I should use as something to blog about, rather than as an excuse for not doing it.
Mea Maxima Culpa.
A good Saturday to one and all.
Reg
Oh and, as for “that political correctness”, this is an impulse to be resisted at all costs in my view. We shouldn’t need a user manual to tell us how to talk to one another. “Blind” is a good word, for someone like me addicted to poly-sylables. It’s just one sylable, and it describes me accurately, or an aspect of this particular Brit git anyway.
