Modern Art ... I just don't get it.

Modern art ... I just don't get it.

My uncle went to an art gallery last week, I don't want to publicize where exactly; but let's say hypothetically it was the Tate Modern, at the Albert Dock in Liverpool, postcode L 3, 4 B B.

What the fuckity fuck is this all about? We've got 2 bits of wood; one a long plank and the other a short post joined together to make the letter Y.

So far so good, but then .. and I kid you not ... it had some of the artist's own hair stapled on at the end. WHAT THE ****? It's meant to symbolize the rural Scottish economy or something. But .. it's just two bits of wood with some hair on it, not a fucking Michelangelo.

[Fuck me ragged - this is it]

It set me thinking that I should reinvent myself ... ergo I am no longer Benny, a Terrier with Tourettes. From now on I wish to be called the Artist Known as Poohgle. The 'enfant terrible' of the art world as one critic called me.

I don't want to boast or anything but my work has been compared favourably to that of Jackson Pollock. Last week I did a very runny poo on the lino and left it there overnight. As soon as me Mum saw it she pointed her finger straight at it and shouted "Pollocks" !!

At least I think that's what she said, mind you I'm just a terrier with selective hearing.


This work called Excrement Number 1 exhibits the free form expressionism, so characteristic of my work. It captures both the light, and the shade of the piece. What I'm saying is ... modern art is shit, but I'm saying it metaphorically as well as literally. I've suffered for my arse ... sorry, I mean art.

Gotta go now Tracy Emin's on the phone, and the Tate Modern wants to stage a retrospective of my early works. I can feel a trip to Jacob Smith's Park coming on. A bit of rabbit poo should get my creative juices flowing - KERCHING.

My Mate Frank

Is a sheepdog and his two-legged is a farmer. Frank was out with him in the tractor drilling wheat last autumn and they unearthed a rusty old lamp. So the farmer hopped out of the cab to have a closer look at it and gave it a little rub on his jacket, as you do, and was amazed to see a genie appear and offer to grant him any wish he wanted. Well the farmer thought for a moment and then said "I'd like the price of wheat to go to £200/tonne!" So the genie sighed but said "OK, I'll sort that out for you then, you greedy bastard" and popped back into his bottle. And the farmer casually tossed the lamp into the back of his cab and got on with his drilling. Well they were out again this morning putting a bit of nitrogen on, Frank and the farmer, and the farmer spotted the lamp and gave it a little rub again, just on the off chance, and you'll never guess what happened, the genie popped out again, and said that he'd grant the farmer one more wish. So the fa...

RIP Frank Carson

It's a little known fact that Frank Carson actually got into comedy purely by chance. When he was a young man, he was a church bell-ringer in Northern Ireland, but he was so bad at it that every time he rang the bells, everyone immediately burst out laughing. It was the way he tolled them. Pooh count: two, and one of them a cracker that has your name on it Frankie. You can pick it up from Pearly Gates reception on your way in.
