THE MISTER CLUB

There are loads of Mister Men from Cool to Rude to Strong
From Tickle to Forgetful, the list is very long
There’s Mister Topsy-Turvy and Uppity and Bump
A Quiet and a Greedy, though there’s no Mr Thump
And then there’s one more Mister that we really can’t ignore
A title lacking gravitas, it’s really rather poor
A person in [...]

IF AT FIRST ….

I do my best, I’m up for the new
I’ve even made sculptures with elephant poo
I’ve climbed up a hill clutching some brie
To see if I could manage to get down to the sea
And with abacus, ink and a very large hook
I’ve even attempted to write a great book
None of it’s worked or been a success
So [...]

NOSE VERSUS HAIR

When finding the way I follow my nose
If it runs so do I
It makes sense I suppose
But the girl in the piccy uses her head
Til the parting of ways
When she loses the thread
So I think my way’s best, I hope you agree
And I don’t need a mirror
I’m completely hands free
Which allows me to hold thermos [...]

BUTCH RHAPSODY

The story of my life marks my face like a slap
I really had no idea I’d suffered so much crap.
[Actually, I suspect it’s got more to do with gravity and the lack of a moisturising regime but that doesn’t sound nearly as interesting or manly]

WARNING – BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU GOOGLE

What the ……!!!?!
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked,
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?
Or possibly
I am not the pheasant plucker,
I’m the pheasant plucker’s mate.
I am only plucking pheasants
Because the pheasant plucker’s late.
If anyone can provide another explanation [...]

I’M ON HOLIDAY

The palm trees sway or is it me?
I’ve had a brandy or is it three?
I should have stuck to Earl Grey tea
Gotta go I need to pee.

YOU JUST HAVE TO LIVE THERE TO LOOK INBRED

There was a young man of Cabril
Whose brain was the size of a pill
His eyes they were wonky
He looked like a donkey
And people who met him felt ill.

VIRTUAL VERSUS REAL

I’ve stapled a copy of this piccy to my forehead to try and stop Lo, she is a terrible Goddess and Tiggz making fun of me when I play Angry Birds on the iPod Touch. It hasn’t worked.
Angry Birds
Angry Birds don’t do turds
Virtual poo is just absurd
Unless you count the words of nerds
So I am [...]

WHAT A RELIEF

The seat is lifted
My position shifted
My mind not drifted
Ahhhhhhhhh ……
Put it away
Hip hip hooray
Oh no, halfway
Bahhhhhhhh!
.
(A little more concentration would help. Lo,TGEd)

CRUMBS

Biscuit crumbs get everywhere
(Unless consumed with wary care).
“NOT IN BED”
It is said,
With force and such a weary glare.
[I’ve just read this out to Lo, she is a terrible Goddess who proceeded to demonstrate that particular look. I’m now in a state of abject fear and cannot continue. This is probably just as well as I [...]
