"Albert, dear old chap,
You need directions for the races?
Turn left at Redwood Avenue,
Continue for eighty paces!"
So Albert set off on his journey,
He took some pounds to gamble,
But on his way he lost a glove,
His pants and then a sandal!
"A half-dressed man is not fit
To gamble with his meager cash,"
Down-trodden, Albert rubbed his eyes,
Due to this, he lost a lash

Yeah, I know this sucks a bit of ass but if the contest stays the way it is; I'm in the box-seat for a bronze!

nice harry. Your never fail to surprise me. I'm loving "the songs that have touched you" very amusing. I'm baack on all-poetry as you can see so drop me a line... -
Well I didn't think it was that bad, jst maybe a little short, why not try to build on what you have written so far? That bronze could turn gold.
But if no comments are made on the Albert tales on Oldpoetry, it would be disquailfide anyway.

So far, no luck needed,

What makes you say I have a lot of balls? I don't understand what's so edgy or controversial about the poem. But you're right; I'm certainly up shit creek if there does happen to be a fourth!

roflmao - you comments alone made me laugh out loud. In Queensland we would describe you as having a lot of 'balls' if you will excuse the expression - nothing offensive. I Love your optimism. what are you going to do IF we get a 4th entry?
thanks so much for the laugh -
