The Irish sentence

Post by Colm Roe » Fri Nov 06, 2020 7:29 pm

Must contain no more than 17 words, feck or fuck must be included, and arse at least once.

Was about to wipe me arse,
no toilet paper!
Ah feck it,
another 'one sock' walk home.

I keep learning how special being Irish is -- this poem is too funny.

No. And only rich Irish people can afford socks! I'd have to use a shoe, and it would have to have been a Sunday...because us poor people only wear shoes then. Not that they'd be much use...all they'd do is spread rather than absorb :shock:
However, if you were wearing brushed suede shoes.... Unfortunately brogues are highly polished :roll:

Should we start a Go Fund Me page for socks for Colm?

Not if he's just going to wipe his Irish arse with them ;-)

=====

As you all know I don't normally do 'form' poetry, but I'll make an effort at an Irish Sentence.

Well, feck my arse with a pineapple,
but not before I'm dead.
Until then,
go feck yourself.

I've been writing ever since I realised I could.  Storytelling since I started talking.  Poetry however comes and goes  ;-)

Funniest thread by far in a long time. :D :D :D

You Irish lads have a touch for this new poetic form.
