Sometimes poetry comes in the form of good advice, and you wonder where from…
Never pick your nose in public
Or roll it in a ball
And if you must pee outdoors,
Just not against the wall.
…
Your zits are not for squeezing
In any public place
And if you have the urge to cough
Just not in someone’s face.
…
Ear wax is not a toffee-sub
However it might seem
And if you need to let off a fart,
Just not at tea with the Queen.
…
When the idea of some alfresco sex
Takes hold of your befuddled noggin,
By all means treat your good selves
Just don’t indulge in dogging…

About TanGental
My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published several books: a four book series following Harry Spittle as he grows from hapless student to hapless partner in a London law firm; four others in different genres; a book of poetry; four anthologies of short fiction; and a memoir of my mother. I have several more in the pipeline.
I have been blogging regularly since 2014, on topic as diverse as: poetry based on famous poems; memories from my life; my garden; my dog; a whole variety of short fiction; my attempts at baking and food; travel and the consequent disasters; theatre, film and book reviews; and the occasional thought piece. Mostly it is whatever takes my fancy.
I avoid politics, mostly, and religion, always. I don't mean to upset anyone but if I do, well, sorry and I suggest you go elsewhere.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.
Hilarious, Geoff. You’ve done it again.

I can only respond with a work of teh greatest of all poets A Nonymouse
I sat next to the duchess at tea,
It was just as I feared it would be,
Her rumblings abdominal
Were something phenomenal
And everyone thought it was me.
