Maslows slippery slope.

Desire-
is a plump
fickle comely
wench; Want- is but
a breakfast in bed, Need-
is a dump a pee and a trump
and a bint with a bodkin and thread.

how I see this one:

Desire-
is a plump
fickle, comely
wench; Want is but
a breakfast in bed, Need-
is a dump, a pee and a trump
and a bint [what is a bint?] with a bodkin and thread.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

..but a "trump" although "pump" would work okay for me in it's place.
Your entertaining rhyme is kind of like a limerick and has a similar bounce. Is there a name for the form?

...so like my lost dreams...the flood

Hiya chaps,
geez, a "bint" is British slang for woman,,, (not a nice word really).

Trisk. perhaps "pump" would work better, thanks for that.

The form was originally a pyramid to echo the work of (psycobabbylist) Maslow's hierarchy of needs, represented as a pyramid with the more basic needs at the bottom, though, the forum won't let me post it that way, so, slippery slope it is!

Cheers lads. Obi.

Quench your thirst

settle your stomach 'next

will revert gradually
BUT SLOWLY

take it easy
