Have you ever seen AI cry? I have. Typed it in a search bar and it gave me enough salt water to fill an ocean. Women Men Girls Boys Dogs Cats All bawling their eyes out All staring at me All saying “THIS IS YOUR FAULT. HUMAN”

Memorial benches are getting out of hand. People who are alive will sneak their names on them like, WE WILL MISS YOU MUM FROM DEREK, PAULA, STEVEN, SARAH, AND FIDO XXX If you’re alive you should be executed for the audacity of joining the dead early, you haven’t earned that view.

The smell of a midnight piss is like nothing else, the urea has mellowed and barrel aged. I use the sound hitting the bowl to make sure my aim is true, better not piss straight in the water or you’ll wake the whole house up. I’d turn on the light, But where’s the thrill in that?

Was in Manchester for the rugby, heard someone say: "I walked in a bar in Wales and they all started talking Welsh." I thought that was a joke us Welsh people told eachother, didn't think people seriously thought it lol.

it's vampire night We’ve just smelt the first rain for a month and now all the midges are out. I saw their silhouettes in the sunset In the streetlight. I ate a whole clove of garlic before rolling the bins out, the cunts still bled me dry.

Apparently running clubs are where people speed date now. #runningclub #poem


I found my love at the running club

There’s a new fad in my local park
that’s given dogging the snub,
a 5k, speed date, galloping lark
I found my love at the running club.

Between the high-end sneakers
and the fancy running gear,
Between the naturist streakers
Cupid strikes his spear,

Between the pros who come out swinging
and the ones gasping out their arse,
Is it love or a heart attack giving
Palpitations in my heart?

Between the beer bellies beating
Between the limb skin flapping
Between knees which are weakening
Between the lungs collapsing
Between the feet rubbing,
       bubbling,
             pussing,
and blistering up,
I found my love at the running club.

The storms never stop in Wales, so here's a poem about it. #poem #britishweather

They never lost Atlantis; they Just renamed it Wales.

They never lost Atlantis, they just renamed it Wales
The land of song, and wind, and rain, and biting Baltic gales.

They never lost Atlantis, you can travel there by train
Or canoe when tracks are flooded, which is every other day

They never lost Atlantis, it drifts south of the Isle of Man
The land bereft of vitamin D, but abundant in fake tans

They never lost Atlantis, they took the black gold and ran
Every time it thunders, rumbles fears of Aberfan

They never lost Atlantis, they just renamed it Wales
The farmers don’t rear cattle there,
           they shepherd Welsh Blue Whales.

Today’s poem is called ‘Needles’.
This poem, entitled 'Needles' is presented in the form of a Christmas tree. These words form the shape of the tree:
 
I
wrote
a poem
in the shape
of a Christmas
tree but then forgot
to water it and only a few

days
later
there

And these words are distributed around the base of my poem 'tree' as if they've fallen off it:

were
words
all
over
the                                                      carpet

Gemma Evans lost a tooth to get Wales into Euro 2025, so I wrote a poem about the team of legends!

Gemma Evans lost a tooth at the Wales V Ireland match last night to secure us getting into Euro 2025, so I wrote a poem about that legendary win

Toothless in defence

They say Welsh people are a bit dense
Often they laugh at our expense
Fairplay,
   only in Wales does this sentence make sense
‘How good was our toothless defence?’

In Ireland’s grass there lays a Welsh tooth
Which will sprout and spread its roots
Trees will grow from its shoots
And fill the next Jess Fishlock’s boots

So, next time you hear someone call us toothless
Say ‘we speak a little different here’
Tell them in Welsh it translates to ruthless
As you neck an Alpine beer
