AN INTERESTING HOBBY
Since I’ve reached a certain age
and don’t chase women any more
I’ve developed quite an interest
in my Black and Decker saw
I’ve joined the Saffron Walden branch
of the national power saw club
and we as a weekly meeting
and its always in the pub
We av’e races cutting chip board
which we then turn into stools
then we all sits round a table
and polish up our tools
We don’t always wear our anoraks
sometimes we dress up posh
and invite along a speaker
from Philips or from bosh
you can always tell our members
cos they’ve got some fingers short
and were trying to get jig saw driving
as a new Olympic sport
We av’e in depth conversations
about the merits of each blade
and marvel at the engineering
of ow each machine is made
Since I joined the circular saw club
my wife’s gone soft in the ‘ed
she keep ranting and winging and raging
about the saw dust she finds in the bed.
She say it’s quite unnatural
to be so obsessed with our tools
and refers to the other members
as that bunch of sad old fools.
she say I love my saw more
than I ever did ‘er
and it’s time for me to choose
which one I prefer.
Well my saw can’t cook me dinner
iron my shirts darn my socks or stitch,
but at least I can stop it’s constant wine
with a flick of the on off switch.

Man, you put Shakespeare to shame. Well done!
At our rugby football stadium our keenest supporter climbs aboard a high crane and with a gigantic power saw he gives the opposition great blasts of distracting NOISE!
| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-14 @ 10:09 |

Wonderful poetry from the master himself!
| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-14 @ 10:11 |
thanks nanny you are far too kind
2007-01-14 @ 12:11
Oh your new interest sounds like so much fun ! Good on ya. I think your only problem is your wife's ranting about the sawdust in your bed, which doesn't seem to bother you , but it does her. So, simple - avoid sawdust in bed - shower or vacuum yourself maticulously before bed and all will be well ! You enjoy yourself .
LOVED the poem tóo.
Keep on writing and delighting .. yeahhhhhhhhh !Mad Poet rocks !
| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-14 @ 12:21 |
thank you for youre nice words you are too kind.I will take youre advice and try to avoid sawdust in bed but i find rubing down a chair legg or somthing with sand paper helps me fall asleep.
2007-01-15 @ 00:06
brilliant.....you make it seem so easy....as if it just flows out of you with perfect ease and little struggle...wonderful...I do understand about the sawdust in the bed....I have wood chips in mine....
| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-15 @ 00:21 |

 | FunkyFarmer [Member] 2007-01-15 @ 22:39 |
Very clever though painfully true LOL I have very recently cut the tips of my fingers Not sure if I should laugh or cry.
| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-16 @ 14:09 |
crying usualy works for me but laughfing is more dignified
2007-01-16 @ 12:00
That`s my favourite one yet M.P! Wish hubby was a member of that club.... i`m still waiting for them damn shelves!

| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-16 @ 14:10 |

2007-01-16 @ 15:02
Shucks! You`ve sussed me again!
Happy birthday by the way, never have guessed a cheeky chappie like you was 59!

| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-16 @ 22:43 |

2007-01-16 @ 19:49
it's true isn't it men? that the worst thing, the most annoying - is a nagging wife
2007-01-17 @ 20:03
do you?
| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-17 @ 21:03 |
definatly not ,though i am quite an annoying person to live with so i can take a bit of nagging as it is usualy deserved
2007-01-18 @ 13:26
i appreciate a humble man
| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-18 @ 21:39 |
in the presents of a beutifull woman moste men are humble
2007-01-19 @ 10:42
u use the wrong word there i'm afraid - not humble - pathetic more like it
| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-19 @ 14:01 |
O.K. lets setle pathetic mistress youre wish is my----oh sorry wrong blog
2007-01-19 @ 14:56
i don't like to see a broken man - it's very sad
| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-19 @ 15:12 |
no woman likes to see a broken man, so why do some women spend so much time trying to break them
2007-01-19 @ 15:16
i dont think that women try to break men - if you're referring to the nagging issue again, you can hardly call that 'breaking a man' - a broken man is a broken spirit - destroyed - no woman wants to do that to the man she loves - it's just ludicrous - but she might want him to be considerate and appreciative, kind and gentle, respecting and loyal - i hardly call that 'breaking a man' - do you?
| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-19 @ 15:26 |
of course you are rite but why do many women fall for a man mary him then try to change him
2007-01-19 @ 15:57
because the change takes place by the man first - he stops treating her the way he did when she fell in love with him - as soon as the man knows he has his mate, she becomes more of a door mat to him and by him - and all she wants from him, is the man she met and fell in love with - not the man who now takes her for granted in every respect
| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-19 @ 16:25 |
hm you have obviously had diferent exsperiances to me.but i can see both sides so i will be beaten into agreement
2007-01-19 @ 19:38
u're mistaken
| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-19 @ 19:47 |
ok sorry i think iv lost track of what we started to talk about
2007-01-19 @ 21:44
well, there you go, you've just proved my point and found the answers you were looking for - let's hope you've learnt something eh?!
| mad-poet [Member] 2007-01-19 @ 23:43 |
some people never learn and i am some people
2007-01-20 @ 15:13
i stand corrected - you just rammed me in to a situation i'd rather forget - so yes, i stand corrected
