Memoirs.....Of A Cunning Linguist Poem by James B. Earley

Memoirs.....Of A Cunning Linguist

Rating: 5.0


...Some wizened poets gathered
For a challenge thought absurd
'Compose a poem of driven passion
...Using only a single word'

Amongst the crowd sat a gent
….A smile…upon his face
Memories of yesteryear…
Another time…another place

The old codger rose..and made his way
To the podium....painfully slow
..'Hell..I have two damn poems for ya
Cunnilingus......and Fellatio'

I love this. I live with a man of seventy seven whose interest in 'driven passion' remains as strong as when he was a nip. This is such a clever, naughty little read. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I say good for the old codger, he has not forgotten, passion still exists within his thoughts, he may be old but still stands erect, at least erect enough to make it up to the podium at least. Excellent James, good one. Melvina

An old codger with a great sense of humour, I think when we get older we can say anything we like, and why not? Great writing James, I loved it, Lynda x

Very clever and amusing write, James. Thirty or forty years ago, mentioning such words would have gotten you in hot water! Nowadays, it's so common friends tell me it's not even a successful first date without one or the other or both! Most often, the young fellas tell me it's both! Carl.

That poem would be a great way to start a church sermon. It would definitely get everybody's attention!
