The Wondermentalist Cabaret last night at the Royal Seven Stars Totnes was a delight, though I say it as hosted it. HIghlights wil shortly be appearing on Traydio to prove it. I particularly urge you to listen to the Dead Poets' Slam, where Tessa Gleeson's anonymous Navajo was narrowly pipped by AF Harrold's selection from Robert Herrick, 17th century vicar of Dean Prior. Mr Harrold chose work from the smuttier end of his considerable range, and the audience's choice of theme for the collaborative poem - a niplet - was directly influenced by the last Herrick verse.
The poem was put together on the night by our own Liv Torc, whose performance last night I also urge you to listen to on Traydio, especially if you've read her Hunger Beast post.
Anyway, back to the niplet poem...
nibbling niplet, naughty nice niplet nibble
Both majestic and crestfallen in equal measures
The nectar of life flows from you
and with lipstick a scarlet starlet
you draw me like Michelangelo's ...pen ...cil
How small you are, without your bra
Pink and perfect
It glows like an ember in a hot blancmange
Like diamonds pulling your soft flesh to its sweetest point
natty nickel niblet shining like a giblet straight out of a chicken
niplet, tit bit - better nip it in the bud - nitwit!
I was born to be a triplet
nippy niplets, nipping their way through my top, naughty niplets
Hand cupped to catch the drip drip dripping - I had to drink it - didn't want to make a mess in an M & S changing room
Seven Stars with Shakespeare sonnet, Later to sleep in a pillow of vomit, and niplets
little yellow treats from the Green Giantess
Most prominent of pink parts, pleasing little point
Where the bee sucks there suck I
Nothing can be quite so glorious
I'd rather suck a niplet than a twiglet!
considering its male cousin is useless at best
my niplets don't like scratchy vests
shyly peeping, pretend sleeping, boom or bust
I jumped in the water, I caused quite a riplet, it wasn't my flat feet, it was my niplet
Nip - Nap - Nop - lets - lads- lots - Niplets
my girl's nipples look like dustbin lids
The beautiful bond, the closeness due to end
Niplets more and more and more
Oh let me nip
A non take away tit bit
Niplets - are they pointless?
A small point, nicely made
(Hmmm, maybe you had to be there)
