Neville we seem to have hijacked you thread sorry mate did not intend this to happen.

Dave.

Don't you just love it when the doctor asks " Now whats wrong with you today "

Thats why I'm here doc I don't know.

Neville I think what you have there is a hidden rhyme ?

Ahh Manfred, Heather....you win

Thanks for the replies folks. I've got a verbal blockage at the moment. Just trying to think of anything..anything...to get some words going.

I've never heard of that word Dave. Where did you find that ?

I heard a poetry writer interviewed on the radio, he said that he composes his verse while walking around the room. He bangs his feet on the floor to see if the stresses of the words fall in sync with the sound of his footfalls.

Thanks Bob,
Or the old joke where you describe symptoms to the Doctor who has no diagnosis, but he, very puzzled says " Have you had this before "" Yes" you say. " Ah yes, " he says triumphantly " You've got it again "

Neville page 1096 of my Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary or you can go to you tube and find a blonde girl who will tell you how to pronounce Floccinaucinihilipilification. And what it means you tube nearly as good as Google.

Hope you can keep your head above water up there. Brisbane is in the flood zone now.


This is a true story.

There was this young cop in a country location who was asked to take a measuring stick and check the rise of the river. He came back in an hour and told them the river had risen a metre in the last hour... hmmm. He came back in another hour and told them the river had risen a further two metres ooooh. He came back in another hour and told them the river had risen a further three metres WHAT ! panic. Someone decided to watch his measuring process, he was laying the measuring rod on the slope of the bank intead of holding it vertically .

No it was not me but I bet they all could think of a one word poem to go with that.

James Fenton, the English poet. He was professor of poetry at Oxford from 1994 to 1999.
