Quiet !

Post by Bob Pacey » Mon Mar 28, 2016 9:18 am

Nothing is moving the forums so quiet
I'm thinking they all might be dead.
Perhaps I'm the one who just has no life
so I think I'll go fishing instead.

I check every day to see whats been done
but there was only posts by Cath yesterday.
Perhaps they are all pigging out on chocolates
I got none so what can I say.


Bob
The purpose in life is to have fun.
After you grasp that everything else seems insignificant !!!

Well if you must know young Robert, I've been doing just that,
Trying to catch myself tea,
It meant travelling and camping which I surely don't mind,
Just me old fishing buddy and me.
We landed a few, they're all cleaned in the fridge,
I smoked some as well just for fun,
I have packed up my gear and done a few jobs,
So I might rip the lid offa one!

Great stuff and I enjoyed both poems but Ross you have missed one of the rare opportunities to use off and of in the same line:So I might rip the lid off a one! Might have been, "So I might rip the lid off of one!"
Before you say anything.... I think it is called being pedantic.
