So it is about time we had a competition to see who can best complete this poem.

SHE'S AN EASY LOVER

Bollocky Jill went up the hill
To fetch a bucket of water
Jack was all more trumpety trump
Circus bound with his daughter

So while Jill had gone a bit trig points and crampons
Daughter trapezed on Dad's bazooka
Luckily no Nellie ever turned up for tampons
But Jill's balls spunked into her veruca

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way.....

...Do the next two lines as best as you can : the winner will receive a prize.

Up above the world you fly,
Like a tea tray in the sky.

ok
I'll try and think of my own......................um..........

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way..

Like the winter's sun on a chilly day
Silhouetting dredgers on the Tyne.

John - yours is really good. I like the way you went to a less than obvious 1 and 4 rhyme and a 2 and 3 rhyme and especially your reference to the great North East. You are definitely in with a chance. I am also having a few internet auction bids in. Mostly they are total rubbish but I did enjoy this one from what will be one of your competitors, a Mr Phil Gabriel:

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way.....
Yer sledgehammer may have been chucked down a local mine
But against all odds, how can I just let you - or indeed it - walk away?

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way..

Aaron, Aaron......this looks suspiciously like an advert!

He's been closed down anyway,his nuts were too salty.

This time, I genuinely think I have improved.

There's definitely a natural poet laureate level talent here that is finally flourishing..

My October Lament

It's a God awful petrol dispute
I'm sitting here in a tin can with my mother, my dog and clowns
And none of them can get to hospital for their necessary operations
And I want a pet snake or my teddy bear

Let's dance, they say, as Igloo goes bust
I'm with Octopus myself or am I but they are all linked in with fracking
Rich boys keep swinging around tax in the British Virgin Islands
And I want a pet snake called Nigel or my teddy bear

Facebook's gone down, down deeper and down
Everyone is under pressure now - even Cressida Dick what with the rapists
All we wanted from the police was fame and for them to let the children boogie
And now I need a pet snake called anything and my teddy bear whose name is Bernard

I feel tragic like a Marlon Brando without my China girl
But she got Covid-19, TVC 15, Blink 182 and UB 40
I've got the fish war with France on 24/7, it's my sound and vision
When I all I demand is a pet snake called Bernard and a teddy bear called Nigel

Is there life?
