POKEs 8: POetic joKEs The eighth helping of David Nicoll's infamous POetic joKEs—short, sharp, and shamelessly funny!From blow-up dolls with extra features to seagulls sh*tting on Rabbie Burns, from mistaken bus cheers to midges that take no prisoners, these bite-sized poems deliver Glasgow grit, Scottish sarcasm, and a generous dash of innuendo.Whether it's a quick poke at modern life, a wink at human folly, or a full-on belly laugh at the everyday absurd, David Nicoll's verses hit like a well-timed punchline in the Scotia Bar.Warning: May cause snorting, snickering, or spontaneous outbreaks of "That's no right!" Proceed with a sense of humour (and perhaps a dram).If you've survived the previous seven POKEs, brace yourself—this one's got even more holes than a Gorgonzola cheese (ask the clothes moths).All illustrations by Grok AI Available now—laugh, review, repeat!www.davidnicoll.co.ukDavid Nicoll is a Scottish born poet, lyricist, and performer with a voice as distinctive as a drenching west-coast rain. Born in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis in 1954, he emigrated to South Africa in 1982, where he lived for over three decades, absorbing the rhythms of its people, wildlife, and history into his work.In 1997, he was inducted as an International Poet of Merit by the International Society of Poetry in America, and he reached the semi-finals of their global competition among 2,000 selected poets. His poetry has appeared in South African and international magazines and newspapers, and he was listed in the International Who’s Who of Poetry in 2012.David has self-published a prolific collection of poetry books—spanning Scottish reflections, Tenerife tales, body art observations, and more—alongside several CDs blending his lyrics with original music from collaborations in South Africa (notably with Mervyn Fuller and friends in the MAD project). His performances have lit up venues from the Scotia Bar in Glasgow to festivals and lounges across continents.Now back in Scotland, David continues to capture the absurd, the heartfelt, and the hilariously human in verse that's equal parts cheeky and charming.
