Great way to make each line ironic and self-contradicting on your sample.? It adds to the readability.

Thanks for your support MC. I'm afraid you're on your own, so we should go hand in hand and face the silence.
I feel I have let myself down, but what the hell, nobody's perfect (especially Yorkshiremen).

Joe, all us eggs of the world
Are rejoicing you've remembered us here
Where most people just simply eat us
With, or without having beer ?

Now Trevor why on earth did you pick
An egg which was just a tad over
The poor hen had obviously not connected right
When trying to mate with her lover
The moral to my tale in future Trevor
If you want an egg all shippy shape
Is to watch from a carefully discrete distance
To make sure the connection's not rape
(Getting bit carried away here....think I'd better stop.....it's getting into eggmestic violence ? )

Golly gosh Joe I've gone done forgot
That today it was World Eggie Day
My day has just ended, while yours just begun
So I can't catch up, sorry, no way

In prep for World Egg Day next year
So all our little chooks here downunder
Can lay eggs while I watch, with a beer...
What a useless bit of nonsense...who let him in WOL? ?

A cracker Joe! perfect for Egg Day.
Coincidently, I've recently been playing with Limericks. Why are they always humorous do you think? They represent quite a challenge if done seriously.

A new product has come on the market
To make all dog lovers go shout "hooray"
It's called, yes, the Doggie Doo Dissolver
Sprayed on doggies drop, poof, goes away
Now you ask me how does this stuff work then?
How can it do 'way with dog's doo?
It dissolves it in minutes with enzymes
When sprayed on the doo, watched by you
There's now no need to carry a doo scoop
Around with you following your pup
Just carry some Doggie Doo Dissolver
And watch as it's doo dissolves all up ?

John,
At a first glance this poem comes across as being depressive yet on closer inspection the words speak the truth of our reality. Rich in imagery it stimulates the mind to find parallels in our experience of life. The words concerning the rich wanting more and bodies being cast into ditches leapt from the page.
The words, ¨we who are left to grow old ¨come to mind as age induces these thoughts about life and its apparent futility. This poem would make an excellent collage.
A good poem Jon. One which to meditate on.
Thank you
Keith

Thanks Nigel, it was such a great night I thought it deserved a write up... and I must be getting better at hiding the nerves because they were most definitely present. It's always good to have a friendly face smiling back at you whilst you read though - helps a lot, which is also why I love how our group turn up and support each other at events like this. We are part of a very special "gaggle" of poets. I'm sure Dorinda has a more appropriate collective name for us!

Whether full translation or simply inspired by, this piece has shown its colors well.
Illustrated (figuratively speaking) with lush imagery fit for a painting, and very relatable quotes of wisdom line its innards.
Loved this piece, John.

Some nice internal rhymes
To trumpet in the cheese
Which never did arrive
So therefore I must cease ?
Where are my coloured faces gone?
They've turned all black and white
Maybe they're missing cheese too
And want some, for to bite
Hello? They've turned up...must've found some cheese
Huh? Cheese run away?...Wot's going on? WOL's smiley face workers gone on strike?...
