Never mind.
Scenes Of Moderate Violence is the stunning debut collection from award-winning poet John Moynes (top).
Written between 2013 and 2016 it depicts a world recovering from economic turmoil and then collapsing into fear and despair. There is also “a bit about a time travelling cowboy who can recite two poems at once”.
Hairy, windswept and interesting, John is crowdfunding for the printing of the collection and is reaching out to followers of his cherished Limerick A Day slot on the ‘sheet, which has made him the most frequently read living poet in Ireland.
A small pledge here will get you the buke and the priceless gift of of long-form Moynes.

A hirsute young fellow not from Cork
Went on the ‘Sheet to flog his life’s work
No thanks cried the massive
Shove it up your back passage
We prefer you as an unpublished dork
utter fool
Ouch. I’m so hurt.
Why didn’t you put in some dig there about “the homeless”?
utter fool
and you lack sympathy for the homeless
how’s that?
Yes Donal would take a photo of the poet with some boxes of Rice Krispies he himself had put there wouldn’t he?
You’ve moved from stupid comments to nonsensical comments. Stupid was marginally better; go back that way if you can.
Was it Cheerios then? sugar puffs?
Have a lie down there love
I know I should just ignore you but you’re fupping annoying
guessing you get told that a lot
+1
Was it for this the wild geese spread
a jar of nutella across the wall
and, wrapped in prison blankets, said
“we can’t be having this at all”?
I don’t understand what I read
The thoughts of it fill me with dread.
You know I’m not Gay
So why did you say
I’ll get ‘access to the shed(?
Probably one of them men’s sheds I do be hearing about
We don’t all move in your circles, so eh, thanks for that.
The one I see you knocking the chaps off your aul lad in ? No thanks mate, we are OK.
Have you no one else to troll? That was watery
I am the doing the world a service. Irritating the troll.
How are the lads down the shed ?
You are not too big a man to troll someone on the internet no? Didn’t think so
You are the biggest troll I have ever come across. The ultimate bully….. and I HATE bullies.
Poor quality trolling. Soz.
LOL, the irony. The truth hurts…… as you were.
Good luck with the book, Moynesie!

Absolutely. Go Moynesie!
These are cool..i like um a luut.
The Limericks don’t half capture the talent in fairness.
Imposters
I once gave myself to Failure
To her kiss, her skin, her hair,
And I always will love Failure
I’m just having an affair.
You know that sometimes fools like me
Let lust disolve our continence
But never fear a fool like me
Just trust in my incompetence.
For sometimes in my line of work
The best laid plans blow up
I did my normal kind of work
And saw Success show up.
So just for now I love her
This sexy, sacred cow
But I will not always love her
Or forget my sacred vow.
That I gave myself to Failure
To her kiss, her skin, her hair,
That I always will love Failure
I’m just having an affair.
“This book is also a useful tool when evaluating a potential suitor. If they laugh at the funny bits and nod sagely at the profound sections then they are clearly a person of intelligence and compassion. If at any point they become aroused you should notify the authorities.”
