FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
English is a funny language some would say it’s quite bizarre
Words can be masculine and feminine confusing what they are
The feminine of “Thingy” is any part under the bonnet of a car
While the masculine is that funny fastener on a woman's bra
For women Flatulence is an embarrassing by-product of digestion
While for men it’s a source of entertainment and even admiration
The Feminine of Commitment is a desire to marry and settle down
The Masculine: Not picking up other women while out on the town
Entertainment for a woman is a good DVD or a visit to a multiplex
For men it’s anything to do with drinking that then ends with sex
RETURN TO PALINDROME
So many dynamos
Some men interpret nine memos
Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas!
Sad, I'm Midas
Suneva, Nina is sure Russian in a Venus
Sums are not set as a test on Erasmus
OUT OF THE QUESTION
I have an observation
I would like to remark
When the stars are out
They are visibly stark
But when lights are out
You’re sat in the dark
PANGRAMS
Jump by vow of quick, lazy strength in Oxford
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
The Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz
And Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs
RETURN TO PALINDROME AGAIN
Madam, in Eden I'm Adam
May a moody baby doom a yam?
No, it never propagates if I set a gap or prevention
No trace; not one carton
Dammit, I'm mad!
Dairy myriad
Must sell at tallest sum
Murder for a jar of red rum
Too bad, I hid a boot
Too far, Edna, we wander afoot
Rats ailed, damn it, in mad Delia's tar!
Rats live on no evil star
Doom an evil deed, liven a mood
Do, O God, no evil deed, live on, do good
WINDING
Why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts to run
But whenever I wind up a conversation
Its over and done
