Sir_Nigel Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 If we were to arrange to meet, one afternoon under a station clock, you would recognise me by my Come-to-bed eyes, my Get-a-load-of-this-baby nose, my Right-you–knickers-off-now mouth, my Hey-pretty-lady-you-wan’-jig-a-jig? moustache, and my Why- Contessa – you-appear-to-be-wearing-nothing-but-my-finest-cologne earlobes. And, just in case, the crimson carnation pinned to my anorak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantaspook Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 The start of this poem gave me trepidations, But it wasn't the trains or the crimson carnations, That almost caused my heart to stop. It was the line that might follow the one with the clock. Thank goodness! It's one of those poems that don't rhyme. Oh what a relief! Exquisite, sublime. Then, as the heartbeat, subsides in my ticker, He has to bring up the plural of knicker. The poet seems charming and full of panache, Especially when mentioning his jig-a-jig moustache. But his anorak, (The uniform of the train spotter) Singles him out as a bit of a nutter. Let's face it; He's not here to meet a young maiden, The timetable says that the train to Newhaven Is leaving at half past from platform 4B. And the girl by the clock Would just spoil his daft hobby.

Sir_Nigel Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks for taking the time To compose a little rhyme Even though it doesn’t I’m not sure I concur with what you have concluded He isn’t quite as sad as that He’s just a little deluded.

Tallyman Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 No, not a nutter neath nasty anorak But a tender trainspotter in love with the track. Adorned with carnation, he's a damn dapper dresser And enough of a charmer to pull a Contessa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
