The things we have to say on the phone

In conversing with folk in the town,

At the bus stop ,or when we sit down

Don’t   say “sempiternal”,

They’ll think it’s internal,

Then give you an unpleasant frown.

 

As for vulva,they’ll think it’s a car.

And the word is  too impolite by far.

Yet  when I phone the switchboard

Vulval Clinic ,I  must roar.

It’s  invisible ; there’s no need  to stare.

 

I wonder what corresponds in the male?

Nuts  or Balls  may not be very hale.

Testicular Clinic

Sounds like Examinations,innit?

If my face were less red,I’d be pale.

 

When I was a child  in the NW terrain

We  were always reserved without shame.

We had little choice

As such words were unvoiced.

So we   enjoyed fun and  games with no blame.

 

 

Now everything’s  right in your face.

No sweetness  can be gently embraced

It’s f*ck,sh*t and pee…

Not “may I have my  tea?”

On the phone we  hear,I’m just touching base.

 

 

Well ,base our society ‘s become,

Which takes away most of the fun.

We have no rules to break;

A mere  climax to fake.

Which is tough if you’ve  never    enjoyed  even one.

 

So  we seek a refuge in our pleasures.

And even now we can find  our own treasures

A  kiss on the ear

A hand which can steer.

It’s all sort of measure for measure.

 

My verbiage is getting  more rude.

As I aged I became rather crude

My modesty’s   still here

But the end is quite near

I guess it is time something brewed.

 

My teapot got drastically changed.

By chance,it was not pre -arranged.

It fell on the floor

and bent  its top door.

It ‘s so  post modern,I’m  unflutterly deranged.

 

Ah,now I am watching TV.

They are cooking an omelette for me.

But how can it travel

From here to West Babel?

I’ll   ask the police what may be .
