Points of Law and Laundry M’Lud

When the cream of society act like rednecks

Men and women of the jury

A call for justice we pursue

We trust that you will listen well

Give your balanced point of view

In a case of grudge and bickering

Begging fairness and support

So clearly wrong it took so long

To bring such matters to the court

There is a serious job to do

On the merits of the case

The points are what it’s all about

Not revenge or loss of face

Awhile Away



Amid the hustlings and bustlings
We escape to Friday nights
To congregate in wine bars
Nibbling ever so light bites

Gratefully we celebrate
Another week complete
Toil and grind to put behind
Friday's haven warm and sweet

The world of Mondays far away
From Saturday's abstractions
To not be prone to Sunday's groan
Or next weeks due transactions

Acronyms and Backronyms

Wordplay in disguise

Port Out then Starboard Home

All at sea it just won't wash

A retrospective backronym

A first class state of POSH

Self Contained when Underwater

Breathing Apparatus most required

A SCUBA submersed tuba

An air of precious joy desired

The acronym of easy speak

Of light resource the LASER

Light Amplified Emitting Radiation
a sort of atmospheric razor

Then there's the QUANGO chat room

Quasi yet Autonomous

Non-Governmental Organisation

Nowhere-groups who seem anonymous

Finally the OED reminded us of POGs

A kid's thirst option to the java

With a cardboard disc collectible
From the Passion-fruit Orange Guava

Cool Cat Chat

Fancy that my talking cat

Truly does know where it’s at

The pitch and tone of each meow
Demands response from me 'right now'

Conversationally the cat is slick

Knows how to get reaction quick

Won’t accept that furrowed brow

Will use the 'loop-replay' meow

You need to know the law of cool

The cat won’t let you act the fool

So listen up if the cat has spoken

Or much meow like a record broken

A Twist in the Tail

Story Link 'Click Here' 👉 Chubby Checker-lawsuit 

Hewlett Packard may have got it wrong

When sizing up to Chubby

Their Miss-App hasn't made the grade

Not a favourite tool for Hubby

There hasn't been much interest

In this modern Chubby Checker

Not too many downloads

To twist and shout about ones pecker

Five hundred million dollar suit

To Hewlett Packard that's a bummer

Though it pleases 'Chubby Checker'

Who'd like to bring it home next summer

So stack or twist that is the grist

For those preoccupied with size

Most unlikely record payouts

For a stubby Chubby prize

The Alien Myriads (Byre Beware)

So many of us littleuns

who haven't got a clue

too obviously available 

to relentless points of view

Messages proliferate

quoting wisdom of the wise

a standalone survival thread

a logic rational surprise

Teasing taunts of multitude

a swarming static shower

bestowed on all who scatter roam

the wasteland network tower

A wilderness of interface

stalkers hidden in the horde

removing jewels from lonely fools

unaware of being bored

Already there are rumblings

trails of ‘Twitter’ wildebeest

with no life outside the following

a helter-skelter hyper feast

Flush With Success

Thank you Thomas Crapper

for convenience and style

your pioneering plumbing

a flushing winner by a mile

Unsung hero of the closet

pride of place with apt reserve

a bathroom for the one and all

such engineering verve

Thank you for the throne room

wasteless comfort innovation

whether King or Queen or President

we share the contemplative station

Unintended Consequence

I've had a silly moment

feeling rather daft

my lines in muddy water

In a whirlpool on my raft

The river pulling rapid

overwhelming waves to fight

this raft too rudimentary

when one's landing's out of sight

Not coping with the eddy's

undercurrents knock my wood

my momentary upper hand

no longer feels too good
