    I’ve got one

    There was this horse that was worth a punt
    But I wouldn’t back it
    Because the trainer’s a ****

    Roses are red
    Balls are turning blue
    Ed has the hots for Francesca
    But he doesn’t know what to do!

    Got a good one I wrote about when we had the Builders in but it’s not publishable. :whistle:

    I’m struggling too Jac.
    Not much interest in this by the looks of things
    Shall we let Clivex and Ghost duel it out and pull up stumps

    Little Miss Triptych
    sat on an ostrich
    pretending she was riding Frankel
    There came a late run from Nathan
    who thought that he was Cracksman
    but ended up spraining his ankle

    Compy’s

    Pick three horses to win
    easy, how hard can it be
    Krypton Factor has one hundred points
    and all I have is three

    Quarter finals Daylight Cup
    I think I’m going to win
    but Brenda scored fifty one
    just put me in the bin

    It’s Venture to Cognac’s Ten to follow
    make you picks, make one a star
    they end up either injured
    or retired and I don’t get very far

    Doughnuts, custard and cream
    oh what can it be
    Raymo has trumped his wife again
    and having cakes for tea

    It is time for Pats handicap
    and my crutches I can’t find
    I ain’t got a leg to stand on
    bottom again, please be kind

    It is fun though, these comps
    chin up, despite my inability
    just think how thin my wallet would be
    if punting my picks in reality

    :rose:

    LOL Ghost that’s cheered me up today :yahoo: It’s even funnier because our neighbour, over the road, who is into his rare chickens and peacocks for some reason, known only to himself, raised an Emu from an egg and she runs around in the garden (fenced of course) at great speed, I can see her from the bedroom window upstairs and I’ve often wondered what it must be like to sit on the back of something like that and take off… ;-)

    Nathan the best poem’s come from personal experience :good:

    Think that’s inspired me to try to think up something before it all closes, maybe when I’m at work tomorrow. :scratch:

    Off to have another go at posting up the Leaderboard in my comp, I’m going to do it all in Word and then save it before I copy/paste :yes: (should have done that in the first place..too keen to get out in the garden and top up the tan) B-) Jac x

    I’ve scraped one together last minute Nathan…

    Joni’s Nightmare

    When Galileo met with Kind
    They only had one thing in mind

    They wined and dined until quite late
    and when the Sun went down
    They lay together in the hay and thereon placed a Crown
    For on that night a Prince was made
    his story will unfurl….

    but what would Jonibake have done if Frankel had been a girl :scratch:

    Joni awoke in a cold sweat from his bed
    His nightmare had recurred
    but all was well on Frankel’s Thread
    He continues to Rule the World
    :yahoo:

    Frankel that is not Joni (well possibly…make your own mind up)

    I think Joni wet the bed again….. :whistle:

    The bookies have
    made us joint favs
    now Jac
    for our little poems
    Will Ghost
    post another one
    or sit there and
    twiddle his thumbs

    TRF Nursery Oddity

    Hey diddle diddle,
    Ghost’s on the fiddle,
    Sitting here twiddlin’ my thumbs;
    While Jac and Nath are teaming up
    as they sit on their lazy bums!

    So…

    Jac and Nath went up the the betting
    to win the ‘Poem of the Year’
    Jac broke down when she lost her crown
    and Nath shed many a tear!

    Up Jac got and home did trot
    like Quixall Crossett on steroids.
    While Nath still sat on his forlorn bum
    growing a party of hemorrhoids.

    Don’t worry Ghost Nathans got some special cream for that.
    As a treat he’s going to let you rub it in for him.
    :yes: ;-)

    I’m more worried about the worms
    and parasites that live
    in side my ar$e

    But when the Ghost
    rubbed on the cream
    he did it with
    so much class

    and gloves on and a smile on his face. :heart:
