Question For Buenchico About Poem

[MissLead]

Many thanks for the poem "The old man's Autumn". I enjoyed reading it, although it may be too close for comfort for our poetry group, given that we are all of a certain age!
Do you know who wrote it, as I couldn't find out from a google search.
(Or maybe YOU are the poet and I didn't know it?).

I'm pretty sure that was Chris's own poem Miss Lead.

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry - Chris = Buenchico.

[MissLead]

Thanks, I'm well-impressed.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes I liked it when I read it too, am sure he'll confirm when he sees this.

I missed it, would love it if Chris would post it again please?

[Buenchico]

Yes, it was one of my own (and written in well under ten minutes, by the way!).

I deliberately chose not to mention that fact, so that it could be viewed without any bias.

I'd love you to use it at your poetry group, as I'd be deeply honoured for my humble scribblings to be heard alongside the works of Keats, Auden, etc ;-)
(After all, you did write that you'd like something 'quirky', didn't you?)

I love poems by unrecognized poets, this is a good one for you poetry society;

Bloody Orkney

This bloody town's a bloody cuss
No bloody trains, no bloody bus,
And no one cares for bloody us
In bloody Orkney.

The bloody roads are bloody bad,
The bloody folks are bloody mad,
They'd make the brightest bloody sad,
In bloody Orkney.

All bloody clouds, and bloody rains,
No bloody kerbs, no bloody drains,
The Council's got no bloody brains,
In bloody Orkney.

Everything's so bloody dear,
A bloody bob, for bloody beer,
And is it good? - no bloody fear,
In bloody Orkney.

The bloody 'flicks' are bloody old,
The bloody seats are bloody cold,
You can't get in for bloody gold
In bloody Orkney.

The bloody dances make you smile,
The bloody band is bloody vile,
It only cramps your bloody style,
In bloody Orkney.

No bloody sport, no bloody games,
No bloody fun, the bloody dames
Won't even give their bloody names
In bloody Orkney.

Best bloody place is bloody bed,
With bloody ice on bloody head,
You might as well be bloody dead,
In bloody Orkney

Bloody Nora!
Thanks, Khandro, that's certainly quirky.
