What To Do While Bored: The Poetry Advice Edition

Posted on Apr 22, 2020 by TanGental

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 must release a fart,

Just not before the Queen.

…

When the urge for alfresco sex

Begins to fill your noggin,

Always choose a secluded spot

And 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.

    Funny. I can’t imagine you, with all your activities, actually being bored, Geoff.
