'Love is Skin Creep'

All the best,

'Love is Skin Creep'
 ---------------------
She was terribly disgusted and called it a sin,
My 'morbid fixation' with picking her skin.
Viruses, fungi, infections and bugs,
Wildly scoffed her epithelium drugs.
The body amazed me - a living Noah's Ark.
A 24 hour skin safari park.

I needed more time and there was much left to peel,
But every time I touched her she'd let out a squeal.
In this state of upset,
she would never have complied,
But three whacks with a mallet and she'd certainly abide.

The silence turned thick like the scent of a grave,
Now I could work for days upon days,
I'll keep going at it, as long as it takes,
to alphabetise and name all of her flakes.

Brand New Rhyme

Here's another hot new rhyme. I've yet to pick the title, as I don't want to give the actual premise of the rhyme away just yet. See if you can guess what it is ;)


Untitled #2
-----------

Your static state drives me insane,
As I wipe dead flies from your cold, battered frame.
Such a beautiful fresh model – once lustered and noted
Will anyone love you now that you’re totalled?
Oh, don’t you worry, you’ll find me quite doting
Just please don’t seize up as I prise you wide open.

I can feel there’s little room to manoeuvre inside,
And your injuries make for a precarious ride.
But it’s not your fault and you needn't despair
For I find it more fun when you’re in disrepair.

New Rhyme about a Creepy Old Guy.


It's fresh and hot off the .DOC! We don't have a name for it yet, so we're letting you guys come up with a title. Email across your ideas and suggestions. The chosen one will win a wee prize.

This is no country for old men
I’m sure you will agree
When I’m at the Students' Union
At the age of thirty three.

Regardless, I soldier on
With two £1 pound vodkas in my hands,
My body a boozed up vehicle,
Driven fervidly by my glans.

They direct me towards a girl,
Buried deep inside her phone,
I pinball through the freshers
To where she stands alone.

My banter is outrageous
The most desperate of rhetoric
She looks straight on past me,
Her answers - monosyllabic.

They say God loves a trier,
We’ll he’d bloody well love me.
I even opened up the convo with
'comment vas-tu aujourd'hui?'

But I’ve exhausted all the cliches,
And my pick-up lines have fallen short,
So it’s time to roll that five pound note
Then cut some lines to snort.

Things are a Happening!

That's right, people - we're almost a fifth of the way there. We have 4 weeks left to make the golden amount of £2,000. All the folk who have got us this far - we can't thank you enough. If you could continue to help us spread the word it would help us out immensely. Also, if you're an illustrator or a graphic designer interested in the project then drop us a message and we'll follow your blog. We'll be announcing the official call for illustrators soon.
