Today's poet

[Harry H Howgill]

weeks and weeks? Stuff that! Bored with it already. Allendale Challenge on Saturday is the goal.
I note the top quality sympathetic messages from the male forumites! Cheers DT, Merry and Harry. Proof - if ever needed of the point made in poem #3!
No doubt the girls are searching the on-line rhyme generator for words to go with 'pull yourself together' 'get a grip' and 'soft as shite'!

They've never had man flu so they just wouldn't understand!

[Harry H Howgill]

A butterfly's kiss.
Fleetingly she gives life to
The rooted flower.

[Stef F]

Eternal love/life.

Everything goes back to dust,
To be consumed by a dying star,
Billions of years of almost immortality,
You comfort yourself,
Knowing your love came from the stars,
And will return to give life and light,
To the black void,
To begin the eternal circle of life,
Once more.

By Herakles.

This is lovely Herakles

Oh now there's a challenge if ever there was one

There once was a fell runner called Old Whippet
Who caught the deadly man flu poor poppet
He took to his bed
like a bear with a sore head
and moaned like a grumpy old whatsit

Now of course we all know
the suffering you guys go through
when struck with a case of the flu
So take from me a big dose of sympathy
and stay in that bed 'till you glow

P.s.

Pull yourself together you whimp
get a grip you pathetic shrimp
you're soft as shite
like a dog with no bite
it's just a bad cold
you must be getting old
get your lazy arse out
or you'll next catch the gout!!!

Hope you feel better soon OW

Tough love - iron fist
in a velvet glove - ensures
gout prophelaxis

I don't think I can better Stef's retort nice one stef! but here goes....

Poor little poppett
with his fevered brow
a dry nose, limp paws
and head all a cowed

Here is an elvin tincture
made up of secret spells
a recipe for a super speedy
(in time for allendale) get well

If that doesn't work
there's no need to fret
A traditional geordie slap on the heed
will sort you our dear pet

Meanwhile another Tyneside "grafter"
is developing a corking migraine
triggered by extensive conjecture
about the human brain

So never mind yer man flu
Yer big soft geordie shite
Hot bath! hot curry! whiskey!
and a gentle "tuck in" for the night

You'll wake up back to normal.
Well as normal as only you can be.
And if you damn lucky,
You might be in receipt of elvin tea.

Get well soon dear Old hound
