So, I thought it’d be fun to share some of my poems. Would be grateful for any kind of feedback. More poems are coming!
The Unfortunate Prospector
A young prospector Swung his metal detector Patiently over the ground Listening for any good sound But no signal was ringing So he kept on swinging
An older detectorist Got a really sore wrist Two years of searching had hurt his arm But he knew the old saying:“Third Time’s a charm” The third year passed, but the detector wasn’t singing Disappointed he kept on swinging
Time went past and the man got old There was yet no sight of gold Not even a bottle top What a flop! Then one day it suddenly hit the prospector He’d forgotten to turn on the detector That’d explain why the detector didn’t bark And why the screen was so dark

Pull Tab
He must have been an evil man He who invented the beverage can Or more specifically that thing on the top If only someone had made him stop You see, I hate nails and aluminum foil But pull tabs really make my blood boil They’re so annoying to find Can make any treasure hunter lose his mind So many holes dug in vein And we’re all too familiar with the pain Of thinking you’ve finally found the stash But all you find is modern trash
Yesss wellll - I would LOVE some TURKISH DELIGHT! Darker skin, flashing eyes but the only thing is it might increase the population of wee Turkeys - nothing wrong with a bit of Turkish delight.
Brazillian eating a brazillian…
Having trouble getting my ASD brain around the concept of eating something whose creation involves the removal of material. I guess a brazillian is an example of subrractive technology, as opposed to 3D printing. So wouldnt you therefore be eating the abasinthe of something, rather than the thing itself. Would it result in you being hungrier than when you started? Would it work as a weight loss stragedy ?
And squeaking of a Swede eating a swede and becoming a canonball…
The man at the circus who gets shot out of the canon was injured and will be off work for some time.
The circus is looking for a temporary replacement but they are having trouble finding a man of the right caliber.
Dont praise him up - he might come back! Hi Elias - the only member here who sent me a burpday card. I never forget kindnesses. He came to meet me with a very good friend of mine and we took him to a secret spot up in Central Otago and later he came back for a second holiday with us.
Elias is one of the few who are welcome any time and yes he will be back just like the subject of this video - The Cat Came Back He Couldn't Stay Away - YouTube - except in Elias’s case he will always be welcome.
I took him of guard by talking Swedish to him down 12 mile creek in Queenstown .
He lives not too far from where I grew up, so was great to catch up with for some local news.
Stayed the night at my place and he promptly went back to 12 mile and found a 3 gram nugget the day after unfortunately I was on my way to work in Aussie otherwise would have spent more time with this great honest young guy and yes he’s planning another tour of the Goldfields …
