My good friend Dave 'Dodge' Palmer passed away 2 years ago, he and I used to write poetry together, he was a top bloke, I'm hoping to put together a book of his and my poetry for the Starthrowers charity later this year entitled 'A Dodgy Pair', there may even be a spoken word release on Rectum Records, home of Spewtum.

Poem - (this is) verbal diarrhoea

(this is) verbal diarrhoea

Allowing wordsmithery

The most valuable currency

That we use mostly fluently

Our words are our bonds

Enabling discourse

The formation of stories

Can tell of mans glories

With some verbal diarrhoea

We have words of honour

At our word sincere

Nos quod dicere

What we say we do

Not true

We wind and we weave

We lie and deceive

A great tapestry

for you and for me

in words their are truth

but we lie so much better

giving reign to imagination

the tales we unfetter

The child babbles

Become adults of babel

We live part in truth

Part our own fable
