Less is More
Less is more, more or less,
Particularly when applied to a dress:
The less there is, the more they stare,
Her less is most when she’s quite bare.
Boredom
I am bored; soon I’ll be lodging,
Bed is hard and breakfast stodging,
No hot water, no soft soap,
No hard luck stories about the time you were taken in by a travelling acrobat and felt such a dope.
Poison
Poison pens his puerile pent-up passion,
Forsaken flow feels foul in foolish fashion,
Silly sods slip sideways on soft soap,
Cans of clearest claret cannot cope.
Doing Bigs in the Tinkle Potty
In my youth I used a ducky pot,
Sat there straining, gave it all I'd got,
Knew the job would only take a while,
Now I can't sit down upon my pile.
Ghost
Which ghost do you love the most?
I like the one that brings me toast,
or roast goose, or a moose in a flavoursome sauce,
Of course.
Grunts
I make grunts like litters make runts,
My noise is all mistaken,
I wear my shoes upon my head
And wrap my feet in bacon.
Dorothy
Dorothy was a horrid girl,
She made her points intensely,
She joined the silly table round
And flirted with Robert Benchley.
Sharks
Sharks so rarely sing in the night,
Their toenails are too pointy,
They like to give those fishes a fright
And smoke a little jointy.
Boredom Revisited
I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored,
I fall upon my sward, freshly moan,
Until I come to thee, oh Lord,
When you will hear me groan:
I'm bored, I'm bored...
(repeat ad infinitum)

I liked your poems very much Mister Skunk, particularly all of them. You must have been very bored indeed. I envy you. Whenever I get a good boredom going, somebody interesting always comes along to spoil it. Maybe that's why I'm not a poet. Or it could be the wooden leg.

Why, thank you for your wonderful comment Skunk, if I may call you that. I always enjoy it when somebody comments on my poems, even somebody as interesting as you. Yes, I do cultivate boredom and 98.2% of my success is due to this very simple formula, which can also be used to compute the area of a cheese sandwich.

Think nothing of it Mister Skunk. I have always enjoyed commenting on mighty works. It makes me feel important. I have an allotment.

Ointment, my dear Skunk, will suffice. Spread it thinly but confidently. You will gain the respect of your peers and many edible roots from fellow allotmenteers.

Bored? I think you, like the famous Mr Pop, are the Chairman of the Bored.

And this appears to be much more than less. Rather like my own logorrhoea-ic output.

Heigh ho, heigh ho
Snow White just had to go
with a bonus or two
the dwarves went too
Heigh ho, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho
I owe, I owe
I have nowhere to go
the rent is spent
he rest is lent
I owe, I owe...
Meanwhile the gnome
in his Zurick home
disney where to find them
and Obama's not sure
if he should endure
or tax what's left behind them
