Let me tell you about Melanie Bott
Who's five foot three, built like a rock
I loved her so much I should be shot
For ever leaving Melanie Bott
Melanie Bott
Melanie Bott
Returned from the world after seeing what's what
With my clothes in patches, my boots in hock
And even now I can't find a good job
Or a girl that comes like Melanie Bott
Bit of bad luck since my return to the flock
My cat's had kittens; the dog's caught pox
My car hit the trees when I hit the rocks
Now it’s in pieces and I'm in shock
Melanie Bott
Melanie Bott
You're driving me to drink believe it or not
Last night I was blind on whisky shots
This morning I sneezed my head fell off
I'm all hung-over for Melanie Bott
The clock on my wall goes tic-toc
As times rips by at a rate of knots
I held its hands and told it to stop
Now time keeps moving but not my clock
Melanie Bott
Melanie Bott
I left you once but what did it cost
A broken nose and a busted crotch
Though I've got your ring and polka dot sock
I would much rather be having Melanie Bott

this is really cool. a great laugh.
Bit of bad luck since my return to the flock

........that part made me laugh. i've been in a few
car accidents so it was kinda humourous reading it.

hahaha, this is quite humorous to me. maybe it's the rhyme scheme, it seems so childlike and innocent yet it really isn't at all. Strangely enough my friend is going through something quite similar, and he complained to me about it for hours today, and then he called her up and it simply made things worse. I suppose, now that I've rambled on and on, I should tell you that I do, indeed, enjoy this poem greatly, and that I would let you know. Because anyone can simply say, "Hey, awesome poem!" and be on their way... but it's always nice to know, in my opinion, what makes the poem I've written so special to them... because then I know that they really did enjoy it, and that they're not just commenting to get points. very good job again, have a wonderful evening.

This not only comes across as a very cute poem, but its really meaningful.
'The clock on my wall goes tic-toc

A absolutely love that stanza. It definitely makes you think.
Overall, this poem flowed great, the rhyme wasn't forced, it meant something, but it also had some humor, which keeps the reader interested. I know I was. Amazing write, I loved it.

Okay, I'm laughing now but three hours from now when I'm walking around with this still stuck in my head I'll want to choke you. Just kidding, Melanie Bott, not. Great write. I needed a laugh today. good luck in the contest. -
Thank you for entering my contest! This is a very interesting write...I like how you put a comical spin on it. I love the rhyming scheme and format, too. Is this a true poem? Is there really a Melanie Bott who got away? Good luck.
-

This was a great story , and i couldnt help but laugh. Often i would say some parts seemed forced but it suited the mood of this poem , made it flow easier. My favourite line was "I'm all hung-over for Melanie Bott". Something i think most of us could say has happened to us is feeling a hangover encouraged by a woman.
-
just wondering if she is real, great poem though
-
This reminds me of that old Yosemite Sam cartoon where he goes into the galley of a ship thinking an old girlfriend named Emma is down there but it's really full of gun powder that Bugs Bunny, of course, lit the fuse to. It explodes and Yosemite comes staggering out with powder burns all over him saying, "Same old Emma. What a night!" Come to think of it, that was probably the dirtiest line ever uttered in a WB cartoon. lol
You should send this to Bob Dylan. It would make a great folk ballad.

I had no idea what to expect when I clicked on this. It could have been a religious loony item or porn - it's quite an amusing piece and well written, like a little lyric. Well done. -
Hi David, thanks for giving me a laugh, I needed a poem like this today, you slaughtered me, I think this is great, we need more fun poems around , too much gloom and doom, great made me chuckle like a good one, all the best, how about a few more like this, hugs Di
-
i loved it! This is so very clever. I love the personalization of it. It is so quirky and fun even though it is sad. Good write
-
This is sad and sweet. You must miss her alot. I feel your pain and if you need to talk please feel free to leave me a message. It is hard to lose a girl with polka dot socks.
Mary -
LOL! This is a funny and cute way of showing emotion! Good luck and thanks for entering!

This one definitely made a smile appear

luck!

David, I envy your humor. You are one of a rare breed that can put a grin on my face with no working at it, especially when I am not in the mood to have one. I totally loved the last lines reflecting on the broken nose and busted crotch. I don’t know why, but that just made me laugh even harder the second time reading it. Thanks for the smile on my face.
-
this is so funny and catchy with the rhythm melanie bott has got the lot it seems
-
LOL @ zara2 for asking precisely what I was about to ask!! Do you never run out?! This is hilarious - but I wonder whether or not it is hilarity derived of seriousness of the situation
Too much to think about at 8:48am!! Honestly I should be working! Still had to have a snoop about though - great write yet again! Thanks
LLL

I see you're still up to your usual tricks. Whenever I need a shot of good ribald humour, with a bounce and a rhyme, I know I can turn to you. Do you never run out?
Bravo. -
LOL! Missing Miss Melanie Bott sounds like just what you have got.
Catchy, humorous and well done! Is this one of those famous Australian pub songs?
