I never went to school,
I havn't read many books.
I don't try to be cool,
get lots of funny looks.
I love to write poetry,
but my grammer ain't so good.
I try to write with humor,
I think everybody should.
So I take pen to paper,
or fingers to the keys.
And write something funny,
for everyone to please.
Seldom, it comes out good,
most times it's really bad.
I never give up, and
by no way, am I ever sad.
Please read and enjoy,
every poem I deploy.
I am sure I will raise a smile,
as big as my poems in a pile.
Yes, indeed, your joie de vivre is contagious, Dave! Write on in happiness. Esther : ]

Dave, After I read your poem 'davetheleg', I wrote this, 'Just for you today' You made me smile and giggle... Not done, in Quite a while. you made some things even 'jiggle'.. ;) And for that today, I thank you Dave....smile :) Karen Summers
Even when 'your grammar ain't so good', you still make me smile.
Dave...We all (well, ok, most of us) , appreciate your poems and your sense of humour! I am so glad I read this one...yet again...I thought it was about something different...: -) Hugs, Dee
You always raise a smile and sometimes a downright good ole belly laugh. Thanks David.
David, you are a very modest sweet man and poet. All that other stuff, is a proof readers job for the more sensitive of us poetic souls who don't do spelling and punctuation too well. Someone has to give them a job! and it's the art that comes through, that is the important thing to remember. Not everyone can bring a smile, and no one quite like you. Keep up the grand work, Smiling at you, your cornland friend, Tai

Yes, you always raise a smile, Dave. But....why the strange title? I've heard of Jake the Peg but not your version. Love, Fran xx
