    “I got quite sad when gobjob got eaten by Chezza and went to the great biscuit tin in the sky Ghost.”

    Not as sad as Chezza was when Jac’s otherwise excellent poem ended up leaving Chezza on a diet of horse food!

    Yes it was quite sad Chezza, not least because it blew any chances of mine
    (let’s be honest it had a snowball’s anyway) getting anywhere. I wouldn’t
    know a good rhyme, if it rhymed with rhyme.

    Sorry my poem made you sad Chezza it was just meant to be a cautionary tale as those hob nobs were well out of date… ;-)

    No such thing as “out of date” in “The Wonderful World Of Chezza” – Chezza’s got an iron stomach!

    Some interesting new selections
    from the gifted Marginally sectioned and the dirty ol’Ghost who going way below the belt, may, and true to his name, have robbed me of favoritism.

    I must say Ghost, Daavid and I have been at each other’s throats all year for the highest perch in this ultimately destined for extinction godforsaken fly pit, but you come along with your Gromit inspired eloquence and actually enter the crumb infested Waitrose eviscerating crumbly pit he calls a throat.

    I give it foive for ingenuity and invention, but it just failed to reach perfection as it breached the water biscuit mark and little children were sent hurriedly to bed and hungry, for enjoying the opening two forbidden satanic verses.

    Moving on…

    Sir Cherrypop writes…

    ” Chezza’s been wanting to invoice gamble for Chezza’s Psychiatric Services ever since, but once you’ve written off five figures on private detectives trying to find an invoice address there reaches a stage where you give up on it.”

    If that is the case Doctor of too many words, it is then ultimately you, who are responsible for the sock man entering Bonkerdom three years ago and kept like a nutjob in solitary confinement, in the underwear and footwear department of a man of some years and in possession of the finest sartorial and mental perfection of a level unknown to your poor self, who now, through your medical negligence, has been forced to walk the side streets after dark, degrading his refinement in a pair of leathery open topped Jesus creepers.

    Tippi..

    gamble’s offering is more offensive than Ghost’s and if not thoroughly washed, will never see the light of day.
    I think my Haiku is of outstanding merit and this was written by me and not him and will ultimately claim first prize. We’ll see 🙈

    This relative youngster proves an oldee sage will win this, and nothing fairer than that, and don’t forget the Scarborough scar was my invention.

    Apologies Chezza, I didn’t want to reach Chezza saturation point with two weeks still to go in the contest! It might even be dangerous at such an early stage.

    I will retreat and ruminate on some hobnobs for further inspiration.

    “I didn’t want to reach Chezza saturation point”

    There is no such thing as “Chezza saturation point” – there can never be too much Chezza!

    Sorry your poem was deleted before it hit the page Gamble..your Haiku is indeed worthy of gaining many votes but feel Ghost may have stolen the show with Chezza’s little friend gobjob.
    Plans to flood the market with promotional merchandise are in hand and will be available on all your favourite shopping channels 2 minutes after the final vote is cast. Ghost, Chezza and gobjob plan to tour the world and are even planning a Netflix series and high profile interviews with Oprah Winfrey and CBS news in order to win the hearts of the Nations biscuit lovers. B-)

    I deleted the post Tippi and wrote the explanation. It was not a poem but a rant about the misjustice of posters being deleted for ever, and that they, and the effort of their thousands of posts should not be drained away in perpuity for a moment of madness, unless of course, guilty of serial offences. A political point and not a poem.
    I agree with you that Ghost has written out of his ectoplasm and created a poem that catches the public mood, and is a cut above, with a good story attached as yours was. Life is uncertain and so too who the fat lady finally sings out.

    With so many budding poets in TRF I’m thinking of having two semi finals or 3 heats with the top 3 or 4 in each making the final poll

    Chezza Hates Hughesey

    Hughesey beats him in
    the popularity polls
    Hughsey beats him in
    the tipping competitions

    Chezza hates Hughesey
    Chezza hates Hughesey

    Hughesey beats him on
    the comedy side
    Hughsey beats him on
    literally every score

    Chezza hates Hughesey
    Chezza hates Hughesey

    “Ah, it’s hatred,” said Mickey Rourke in Barfly upon hearing yet another domestic row next door through the thin walls of his crummy dead-beat drunk’s apartment block.

    Hatred is, for sure, one of the purest of emotions.

    Chezza expects this to be the winning poem, but has this sneaking fear it’ll be runner up – to Hughesey! – again!

    How many hurdles must Constitution Hill jump
    Before you call him the best?
    How many champions must Constitution Hill beat
    Before he’s the undisputed king?
    Yes, and how many times must he win at Cheltenham
    Before they name a race after him?

    The answer my friend, is blowin in the wind
    The answer is blowin in the wind.
