Description: Part 4

Well, we've all predicted a shit 2012, so we definately need a pick me up thread to compensate

In the last part, Ian Dury suggested the following

Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed

Reasons to be cheerful part 3

1 2 3

Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley and nanny goats

18-wheeler Scammels, Domenecker camels
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly, and porridge oats

A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it - yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on 40 - no electric shocks

The juice of the carrot, the smile of the parrot
A little drop of claret - anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, days when I ain't spotty,
Sitting on the potty - curing smallpox

Reasons to be cheerful part 3

1 2 3

Health service glasses
Gigolos and brasses
round or skinny bottoms

Take your mum to Paris
lighting up the chalice
Wee Willy Harris

Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
Harpo, Groucho, Chico

Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motorsickle
Slap and tickle
Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
balabalabala and Volare

Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
Saying hokey-dokey, Sing Along With Smokey
Coming out of chokey

John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celentano
Bonar Colleano

I don't know anyone who puts peaches on their cornflakes either ;)

I can't rhyme like Ian D (RIP) but whatever

Iggy prowling the stage with the Stooges
Elvis flexing his pelvis on the TV
Lou Reed and the Velvets
a little cha cha with Mark E

A cat purring beside me, getting clean and tidy
feet up on the sofa after a long day
A smile from a barmaid, being skint then getting paid
when you're down a friend asking if you're okay

Finishing early on a Friday
Sunshine in the morning and a warm cup of tea
thick socks in the winter
and Reasons to be Cheerful Part 3

might have to work a bit harder but that's what came to mind anyway.

Blimey, well done.

I was hoping for some clever rhyming couplets at best, or some rubbish ones:

No matter how bleak things look
You can always get your head in a book

or

If you're feeling fucked off
Pop into the FOF

or

Going nowhere, haven't a clue?
Enrol in MIU

I challenge anyone to do worse!!!

The poetry you write
Is really fucking shite.

'Tis the middle of night by the castle clock,
And the owls have awakened the crowing cock,"
Tu--whit!--Tu--whoo!
And hark, again! the crowing cock,
How drowsily it crew.

Rainmaster; the busdriver,
Hath a toothless mouth, which
From it's gaping hole
Says fuck off to the clock,
Four for the quarters, and twelve for the hour;
Ever and aye, by shine and shower,
Sixteen short howls, not over loud;
Rainmaster says "Fuck off, I'm not getting up"

Raindrops on roses
Whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles
Warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with string
Cream colored ponies
Crisp apple strudels
Doorbells
Sleigh bells
Schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eye lashes
Silver white winters that melt into spring

These are a few...

TW going berserk,
just because someone mentions Kraftwerk....

Snowy's on a witch hunt....

































I think I'll take a punt....




































That he's just kidding.

Spunkdrops on roses
Whiskers made of kittens
Bright copper kettles
Warm woolen mittens
Drown them.
Brown labrador puppies tied up with string
Cream colored ponies
Let them swing
Crisp apple strudels
Doorbells
Sleigh bells
No idea where this is going.
Hitler with noodles
Poodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Spunkflakes that stay on my nose and eye lashes
Silver white winters that melt into spring
These are a few of my favourite not things.

Santa came
And then he went
He always was
a wayward gent.

I had this piece of dental floss stuck between two of my teeth for, like, three days and it just worked itself out. :)

Snowy - January 1, 2012 11:46 PM (GMT)
And then it became repeat
Time to shift to something upbeat
Get a Summer song goin'!
Get a Summer song goin'!

And air-drumming Keith Moon's effort in Who Are You at a volume the whole street can hear.
