A Smack In Time Tingles Fine

Smacking was a subject close to his heart
Then Yenti, came in to let the fun start
Little Serendipity as a child had suffered so
But grew up and just wouldn't let it go

I was told by friends that knew these folks
It would just go beyond the odd friendly poke
It disturbed our Yenti that as he was old
It was construed as being lewd and much too bold

Come on now give us older folks a break,
Our memories are good, though our hands still do shake
Do you know that our long term ones are the thing
With the shaking we are good at many things

For beating eggs and stirring thick gravy
But there are other things but on site it's a maybe
I shall have to close, I ripped my tissue while wiping my nose
Can't type with sticky fingers that shake you know.

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction): 
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Last few words: 
Must finish this one day lol

It lifted you to a laughter so it was good, this is a shady subject so I thought I would only write about the bones of it LOL.
You have a great evening and look after you,
Yours Ian .T x

Whenever you refer the an elf, it means me, but I am not a great elf, I am a seriously flawed elf, with some good good qualities.Nonetheless I enjoyed the poem and thank you.The first stanza seemed to me to be a way of pulling me down from my cruelty and arrogance into my kindness and caringness. Thanks again.

The rest was interesting about how you relate to Aussies like me and Jayne Chloe, we do have a different perpspective on the world.

cheers,
Jess
