Self-Flagellation
by David BirdI'm an idiot, idi-fool,
Idiot, idiot, idi-tool,
Idiot, idi-lump,
Idiot, idi-chump,
Idiot, idiot, most uncool.
I'm an idiot, idi-goon,
Idiot, idiot, idi-loon,
Idiot, idi-berk,
Idiot, idi-jerk,
Idiot, idiot; a buffoon.
I'm an idiot, idi-plum,
Idiot, idiot, and so dumb,
Idiot, idi-pratt,
Idiot, getting fat,
Idiot, idiot, feeling glum.
I was cross and I was ill, and it was half-five in the morning.

David Bird (1973 - Present) A completely un-poetry-educated cricket-loving moron. Who enjoys to rhyme in the limerick style - with more than a touch of the doggerel.

Love it David. Fabulous use of language. Masterly control of the pen. A true bard me thinks.

Oh god! I am in love with this. The title above the lines just makes me hoot. I can't stop laughing. This is sheer unalloyed genius! :)

Stone the crows. I clearly don't get poetry. Thank you so much. It's great to know I've made people laugh.
