There was this bird in my street
Everyone knew she was a right little slag
And when her hubby (some moronic soldier)
Got his bollocks shot off in Iraq
And he came home a total fucking cripple,
I knew she would be desperate for a bit of knob
And I was totally right on that score.
One night she took on the entire football team
From the local infirmary, two at a time,
Occasionally three when she knew they were infertile
And guess what, she managed to sell the films
To Channel 5 as a documentary.
She spread for bread in her crippled hubby's bed.
Nice one, darlin'.

hehe, it is a different take on it i have to admit, but i liked it,
-
Oh wot poetry - hehe!
Yeah I loved ure "everyday language" in this poem, it read very flowery and made me laugh out loud! Of course you make a very serious point about meeting the sexual needs of soldiers wives, which is just one more reason (as if we need one) to not become a soldier!

When people listen to that good old country song "RUBY" they go ooh aaahh isn't it a lovely song?
And they all know the tune and hum along to it.
So what is so different about this?
We all of us have to earn a living!
Not every one is entiteled to £750 a week benefits or £1500 a month rent rebates. -
Disqualified. Learn some respect for the people who are fighting to keep your right to write this.

You have to be mad. Why should I respect common murderous thugs aka soldiers? They deserve to be shot. Each time one dies I celebrate.
-

A total work of genius. "She spread for bread in her crippled hubby's bed" is terrific. I can identify with this as soldiers' whores are always worth a poke.
-
Wow...very nice.
-
-
You have excellent taste n giving me the gold - bravo - you are on my faves now.

This was exactly what I was looking for, though I didn't know it
Thanks for entering it so I could read it

I am totally against the war in Irak and I hate American imperialism, but...!! Don't you see that your hatefulness and grotesque rudeness are just as evil as shooting a gun? In fact, your attitude is war-sparking material.
So...what's the difference between you and the moronic soldier? -
There will always be users
This broke my heart to know there are those out there who would do this knowing the cituation and its sick it really is . I do hope this is just a poem and doesnt have truth to it .Not one who took her would ever lift a finger to help heal this nation just rip it further apart .And are the ones who trash this nation for their own sick minds . I think you need help I really do. Please tell me this is just a write tell me it isnt true -

I hope it's true.

"She spread for bread in her crippled hubby's bed.
Nice one, darlin'."
I fucking love that more than I can possibly say, the way you word your pieces puts a smile on my face. Not entirely sure that you care, but I thought this was wonderful. x
-
well... it is little and mean consider the source.
Only in America can trash be printed like this... I say our soldiers must be doing everything right!!!
As for the Soldier's wife oh do not judge her by your own standards she is way way above those.God Bless your small small hearts... For give them Father even though they know what they are doing!!
I will give you points for the right to say what I have said here and thanks so much for the forumn.

Your comment is ignorant trash.
-
-
a story about a soldier injured in war, wife goes cheating. A biting satire or tasteless ridicule i really cant tell i agreed to comment so on two levels: as satire it is to my tastes not well done, not enough to make me laugh, if not satire then it is sad and makes me wonder; if fiction then i simply have nothing else to say...PK
-
The soldier is risking his life so you have freedom say and put us this stupid crap. I am sorry this poem really pisses me off!
-
-
I am delighted you dislike it as I loathe the fascist thugs of US soldiers who bomb, murder and rape in Iraq. Every bodybag is a piece of good news.
-
-
Applaud....H*** NO!
Oh geez.... and moronic soldier... no absolutely not he is honorable for what he did. I am usually easy to get along with... but I really did not like this poem at all and I am unsure why you featured it. The female sounds like a complete B****. Don't know if this story was made up or not... -
Oh good grief, Charlie Brown.
-
Hrm...typical occurance..so the topic is fairly true to life yes...as for the write itself...just couldn't get in to it..as for the moronic soldier...I felt that was quite tacky..and had to hope it was meant he was moronic for marrying her..and not for defending his country..
-
-
No. I meant he was a total moron for joining the army together with all the other murderous retards. He deserved all he got. And now he is a physical cripple as well as a mental one. Good fun.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
interesting piece... kinda sad, kinda erotic...
One night she took on the entire football team
From the local infirmary, two at a time,
Occasionally three when she knew they were infertile
And guess what, she managed to sell the films
To Channel 5 as a documentary. Nice one, darlin'.
why couldn't i be a member of the football team??? roflmao!
mike, aka jonathan wikkins -
Delightful. Sad, as well, in a sad sort of way. Thank you for entering this into my contest. Would you like me to dedicate one of my poems to you? Let me know where you live and if one of my relatives got killed there I can write a poem about that sad event.
-
I think it was funny
if it's not true anywasy.lol. NICE WRITE
-
if it is true what is the name of the documentary? she sounds a bit like charlotte from macc you can read about her on my authorpage list
-
you are one of those hold my nose lol
-
Ok, not real sure how to take this read. I don't know if this is to be sarcasm or what. I think it may make some a little upset, but still your work and your opinion of what ever you are trying to make a point about.
Jen -
Okay this was total inapproriate.. sorry I have to remove you from the contest. I guess you did not read the rules..
-
-
Guess what, I guess you guessed wrongly. Who's the baldy with you?
