Tom McB Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Lorca- anyone who can write, in connection with shagging, Her thighs escaped me like surprised fish,Half filled with embers, half filled with ice. That night I ran—best runner of all the roads, Mounted on a pearly steed, neither saddle nor bridle. deserves to be here Betjeman- much better than most think- "The death of King George V" is a cracking poem Burns- of course A nice wee ditty on our royal family Wilf Owen and finally feckit there's too many cracking poets to confine it to 5 and I'd just change my mind in 5 minutes.

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Bitchface lets him off the leash, To enjoy a “small†libation, On the Jaybees bus all over the land, And enchant the Saint Murn nation The Buds & wrestling, punk & Rush, These are his greatest pleasures, But got huckled by the fashion cops, For wearing pish-soaked made-to-measures My top five:- 1. Rabbie 2. Banjo Paterson 3. John Hegley 4. Phil Lynott 5. Neil Peart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
