Piccadilly-Pick-pocket!
ASSAULT + FLATTERY.
Daisy Dippy
on the 'dilly
kissed my lips
and touched
my willy
must've thought that
I was silly.
When she said
she liked
Big Ben!
I didn't know
she meant
my ten...
quid that
she slid
into her pocket
that she dipped
from my
sky rocket!

Have you read my poem Polyamourosity yet?
Look on the bright side - it could just have easily been Donald, on the 'dilly.
ReplyDeleteHi Stan, you need to stay away from the meat rack!
ReplyDeleteNow that was fun - although I thought you might be going overboard when I read 'ten'. But you offered a reality check in the next line :-)
ReplyDeleteQuick and interesting word play. I like this.
ReplyDeleteLaughing - love the hoopla here!
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute one. I like the rhythm.
ReplyDeleteHi Anthony, these things are always fun to write - after the event!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole, I try to make these things reflect real time but they do happen so fast.
Thanks Sue at Tumblewords, I like leading people 'up the garden path' sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeeves, I just read your taxi driver story - dead good - economic breakdown!
Absolutely delightful! I love British slang, I listen to a lot of Eddie Izzard and watch a lot of British flicks so I got most of the slang. A great, great piece!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Jane Doe, you make it all worth while!
ReplyDeleteThis cracked me up! Fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, it's funny now but I was mad at losing £10 at the time.
ReplyDeleteThis is a classic! If I didn't live a couple of hundred miles away I'd buy you pint!
ReplyDeleteLOL Very clever!
ReplyDeleteCheers Keith, I might take you up on that offer one day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy!
Definitely fun and clever -- word twisting is such great fun, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, thanks, I like a little twist now and then - it sure is fun!
ReplyDeleteis this also your 'brag' for SS... ;)
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun read with some witty turns of phrase.
Hi Rob, glad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteMy SS entry is actually the post above this one and it's called 'Confessional' I did make a mistake and post the permalink to the wrong poem at first but I re-entered later with the correct one.
Hahaha, this one had me laughing for an ill minute.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. You're very good at this. It runs with an easy rhythm; I caught myself singing along with it, every one of the 3 times I read it over.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
Hi M. Morris Gaman,I like to build it up and let it down, sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHi Aareet, thanks for reading this so many times, I hope It didn't shock you!
