I thought we already had one of these, but I couldn't find one searching for either poem or poetry, so I've started a new one
Here's a halloween poem from Brian Bilston.
THE HEEBIE BEEGEES
He danced
like a man possessed
one fevered Saturday night.
He gave me
the heebie beegees
and so I left the floor in fright.
Some blamed it
on the Boogieman
but it was a John Travoltageist.

Here's another from Brian which features the word 'lollygag' one I first heard here today on the Mundane Thread via Lizzie W.
TO DO LIST
1. Delay with an urgent hesitation.
2. Be unwavering in vacillation.
3. Embrace the art of equivocation.
4. Read a book on procrastination.
5. Dilly-dally; dither; be dilatory.
6. Drink tea through the day continually.
7. Look up ‘avoidance’ in the dictionary.
8. Ignore all forms of worthwhile industry.
9. Break for lunch
10. Ponder the intrinsic nature of work.
11. Re-prioritise which tasks to shirk.
12. Allow three hours to hem and haw.
13. Lollygag; chew my jaw.
14. Stroke the cat; lose my pen.
15. Re-do tasks from one to ten
16. Lurch and flounder; loll and wallow.
17. Write To Do list for tomorrow.

Help is not perhaps the word, but poets must be encouraged

It's at the Hunter Centre further up the Haslemere Road. They were calling everyone yesterday to confirm the change of venue.
