THERE IS KNOWLEDGE I NEED TO KNOW # 9

There is knowledge I need to know

Which will put me in the box seat

Such as, if vegetarians eat vegetables,

What on earth do humanitarians eat

VEGAN PASTIE

 

I just had a vegan pastie,

Which wasn’t bad at all,

It wasn’t Cornish though,

It was made in Quornwall

RHETORICAL WAY

 

There is a rhetorical question

That gives me indigestion

How come Hawaii at any rate

Does not have an interstate

HIDDEN DEPTHS

 

You should never try to find

How deep

The water might possibly be

With both feet

WHAT CAR?

 

When I was buying

My very first car

The adverts really

Read quite bizarre

It’s all coming back

It’s fun to reminisce

The adverts read

Something like this

“Only used on Sunday”

“Corners like its on rails”

“One previous owner”

And similar details

“Never raced or rallied”

“Only used for shopping”

“Three months mot”

“Will need taxing”

“Genuine low mileage”

“A good little runner”

“A bargain at fifty quid”

“Or nearest offer”

Two tone blue and rust

Sounded a bit tinny

I bought the car

A sixty-five mini

FOUL PLAY

 

Governments and big corporations

Pollute our water for drinking

Fill our food with chemicals

And pollute the very air we’re breathing

With poisons and carcinogens

And they manage this beyond all belief

By blaming all the worlds ills

On the innocent looking tobacco leaf

HELLO

On the omnibus or railway train

Sea going vessels or airplanes

Sat dining with friends in bistros

Or dancing in the dark at discos

No matter where you might be

Just remember this and mark me

Whether peaceful recreations

Or in a theatre for renditions

The mood is suddenly shattered

Silent thoughts are scattered

By a myriad of ringing tones

Of the annoying mobile phones
