Ps Crazy sean from Bowerie Rd - walking to meet friends along the river - Hackney wick pub there.. Sean spottted a pair of old shoes in a bus stop ... He sized them up and took off his, put those on and said:"..They're a bit tight but they're newer than mine..." Sean also, he got married and and his parther got genetial piercings instead of wearing rings... Sean's Prince Albert got infected and he could not go on his own honeymoon in A'dam.. we all went and left him in the soggy bed... I wrote a poem about it which offened him. I called it "Down Around Vauxhall With Willy". 2 Blokes on the bridge talking..It goes "Aw Willy, what's that 'orrible smell?"

@tadpoles sometimes non rhyming , nonsensical works too...
‘Some people call me Maurice,
'Cause I speak of the pompatus of love.’
Inspired by the lines from the Medallions’1954 song The Letter:
‘Oh my darling, let me whisper
sweet words of pizmotality
and discuss the puppetutes of love.’ Vernon Green , who wrote it, said he coined the term puppetutes "to mean a secret paper-doll fantasy figure who would be my everything and bear my children". Okay that’s just fucked up.

Interestingly, Peggy Lee dropped part of the lyrics to "It aint' neccesarily so" - the last bit, about 900-year old Methuselah not being able to attract young girls. Maybe that was too sexist even for 1959.

“Bob Geldorf” was an Elfin minstrel in The Lord of the Rings. That may be where the confusion arose.

#Yeti Bob... yes I remember news items with Alice Cooper hanging out with Dali. I also think Dali would have liked Lady Gaga in her lobster .. meat dresses etc. Museum is in St. Petersburg though. Cheers.

Thanks @P-90 and @Joe McG! ! In South Africa Vista was part of the segregated higher edcation system... a distance learning university for black south africans introduced to meet demands for higher education whilst also keeping established universities white-only. Bad connotations in my mind!
