Keepitreal,   thank you I am glad some of the words resonate

You reminded me of the story embedded mid-way on Jethro Tull's 1973 album "A Passion Play". It's called "The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles", and animals (hare, owl, kangaroo, newt, bee) are used to depict how different personalities will apply themselves to fixing something without (a) knowing what they're doing, or (b) finding out if there's a problem that needs to be fixed!

IMHO, "Ninnyhammers" shall be quoted as one of the finest poems ever posted on Chordie.

Cheers Jim, That it is a good way to throw a subtle wobbly at your players without showing frustration or letting them know that you are calling them Wallys when rarking them up.     

Jim     

still funny and enjoyable. or as the romans said; may the forts be with you.     

Cheers Jim,   Ninnyhammer T shirts would look good on our political leaders from all around the world.

EB,   I hope it doesn’t go over peoples heads but I must admit it is a bit weird. Talking about heads I don’t know if people picked up  that Mutton Heads is a term for  idiots. Mutton heads is used as a double meaning and I doubt if a dish of Mutton Head could be made or even served up as a meal.  What I was trying to do is  take the proverbial pee out of human nature using gobbledygook as an idiom to describe differants groups of people and their hierarchies. It is easy to perceive those with a differant view point at times as idiots.

Cheers Phill,  Cocktail shakers is my word for snobs the ones who think their farts don't stink.  Some of my poem is  made up of words with double meaning and ambiguous phrases so hopefully people can bring their own interpretations to each sentence. I wont be turning it into a song as it hasnt got a musical flow. But maybe some of the words could work in a song like mutton heads, I have never seen Mutton Heads sold in a butcher shop or seen to be eaten. It is a bit of poetic licence, . Mutton head is slang for an idiot.

Although a lot of your poem goes right over my head, I can guess who you're referring to when you mention cocktail shakers? Mutton heads not so much (I can't eat lamb anyway) and I get difficulty with the meaning of words more than three syllables! More lol!!!
All in all a very interesting and educational read....what a piece of writing, brilliant. Are you going to put it to music?

                             Ninnyhammers
One of the infinite things in life is human stupidity.
Ninnyhammers abound everywhere.
In cold water mutton heads rise to the top.
Simmering resentments in the heat can make still water boil.
Chowderheads silenced by  the ice of those who don’t like their choice of words.
Making them silent wont stop the hidden heat.
A hidden fire under the pot not exposed is still there.
Adding energy to simmering resentment.
Hidden pressure lifts the lid.
Trying to please the cocktail shakers to get a press five star.
You took mutton heads off your menu.
Meanwhile in a back alley somewhere else mutton heads are waiting to be dished up.
Hidden from the cameras satisfied stomachs receive the mutton head fare.
Ashamed that their mutton head  nourishment has added to their health and good condition.
Chowderheads with their expensive cocktails on the main street show disdain.
For the Snobknows downing mutton head delights is now a secret indulgence.
Ninnyhammers strike again from the shallows
Trendy  charismatic  characters  lacking substance attract those wanting to be part of the in crowd.
Mutton heads exploding a tomfool theory with little foundation onto the subordinate.
Disciples now convinced of an imaginary threat caused by those back in the paddock waiting to head to the pot.
Good fodder.
Political sheepdogs rounding up their sheep.
All popular unproven portentousness placed on the innocent by pompous advocates.
Intellectual cocktail shakers can't stop the raising of fists and the shaking of heads.
In the middle of a storm is silence.
