How's this for a lunch, then? Parma ham with home-grown tomatoes and then stewed rhubarb and apple (home-grown again) with vanilla custard and then polish of the rest of the carton of custard on its own. I was going to have cockles with the Parma but I thought that might be a step too far !

[HK phooey]

Yuk Cubie, stewed rhubarb, are you mental?

[Now that's the trouble today isn't it we can't use the word gay in its true sense and it's such an easy word to rhyme with that's why I used it

I'm with you on that one, Jan. It's such a lovely, descriptive word, but then it was hi-jacked and everyone is terrified to use it for fear of being accused of descrimination.

In its current, common usage, it's actually an acronym - Good As You.

Apart from the oxalic acid making your teeth all furry, absolutely nothing !

[HK phooey]

My mum used to make that as a punishment

Well, the way to deal with that is to have a good level of pastry/crumble around/over the rhubarb and lashings of custard

[Silver_Shiney]

My mum used to make that as a punishment

We will remember that....

[qbman1]

Now I have visions of her being given a good thrashing with a stick of wet rhubarb. I won't sleep tonight !

It can't be that much different from the wet celery you usually use!

[HK phooey]

Weirdos. Where's my poem Notso, don't make me hand you over to Tinks too.

[qbman1]

You think we're wierd - just a normal use of surplus fruit and veg !

What about your obsession with banal poems ? Now that's seriously wierd

[Not so ancient mariner]

Weirdos. Where's my poem Notso, don't make me hand you over to Tinks too.

Some of us have to work you know............!

(and I expect you want something worthwhile )

[qbman1]

You'll be burning the midnight oil, penning an ode to joy then AM ?

To HK perhaps, but I don't know anybody called Joy.....

[qbman1]

She's unconfined !

[Dark Knight]

evening nutters and that now includes you Jan

today I have been mostly working with a bout of stuffing my face around 1.00 ish

Notso the poems are a figment of a drug addled lifestyle, old HK thinks I send em all the time, poor old trout

[Silver_Shiney]

Dear HK

I can't do you a poem but, as a penance for my teasing elsewhere today, here's a song for you:

Oh my girl loves surprises
So I bought a pair of tickets
And we went to see the greatest show on earth
Where everybody comes to have a really good time
Underneath the big top
Oh she seemed so delighted with the lions and the tigers
And the men on the flying trapeze
Oh, but when the clowns come around
She clinches her fists
She looks as if she's catching a disease

Baby hates clowns and the tricks they do
Baby hates clowns in their great big shoes
Baby hates clowns with their polka dot clothes
Baby hates clowns with their big red nose
Now I get a little nervous every time that the circus comes to town
I don't know why baby hates clowns

Well, I gingerly suggested she was over-caffeinated
Or perhaps she had a simple case of nerves
She said as she glared at me with eyes like knives
You gotta a lot to learn, boy
So, I quickly dropped the subject like a flaming hot potato
But it didn't bring her any relief
Oh and it's so hard to pretend everything is just swell
When she's muttering and grinding her teeth

Baby hates clowns with their stubby cigars
Baby hates clowns in their little toy cars
Baby hates clowns when they tumble and they flip
Baby hates clowns with their painted on lips
Now it's no exaggeration and there's not an explanation I have found
I don't know why baby hates clowns

She gets so traumatized
And I feel paralyzed
In the midst of her psycho drama
I don't know what to do
It's such a mystery
All this hostility
I tell her she should lighten up
But all she does is tighten up and come unglued
It's so unsettling

My girl loves surprises but I never realized she was vexed with a complicated mind
And I'm not sure whether it's a colorful quirk or some flavor of dementia
How I wish I could say there was a moral to the story
Something cute about venting her angst
Oh, but let the truth be known, I'm in the twilight zone
Some guy dressed up like bozo gets the thanks

Baby hates clowns, it's truly bizarre
Baby hates clowns, just the way they are
Baby hates clowns, man it's making me nuts
Baby hates clowns, she hates their guts
Now I get a little nervous every time that the circus
I get a little nervous every time that the circus
Get a little nervous every time the circus comes to town
I don't know why baby hates clowns

Hi everyone - seeing NOtso has not been able to write you a poem yet - would you like me to write you one HK?
