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!

  3. Now 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 :-)

  7. Hi Anthony, these things are always fun to write - after the event!

    Thanks Nicole, I try to make these things reflect real time but they do happen so fast.

  9. 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!

  17. Hi Rob, glad you liked it.

    My 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.

  18. Hahaha, this one had me laughing for an ill minute.

  19. Hahaha. 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.
    Great job!
