LUCY LLAMA WAS HAPPILY SURPRISED

 

Lucy Llama was happily surprised

With a weekend break by her stag

So she rewarded him with a kiss

And in a fluster said Alpaca bag

POPULAR CULTURE IS VERY INFLUENTIAL

 

Popular culture is very influential

And I think it’s brilliant, in my view

How the Chinese made a language

Entirely out of pretentious tattoos

POETRY IS REMARKABLE

 

Poetry is remarkable for

The amount of joy it brings

But please poets, we do get it,

Things are like other things

PICKUP # 17

 

When you’re on the pull

If you want to break the ice

Say something funny

Or say something nice

Be devastatingly witty

Or say something clever

Be complimentary

Or just lie in your endeavour

“Wow are you a computer whiz?”

You can enquire of her

“Because it seems you know how

To turn my software to hardware”

PUT DOWN # 65

 

Put downs work the best

For deflecting unwanted attention

But try to be amusing

As this relieves the tension

If he says “hey a thought just crossed my mind”

Give him a measured look and say

“So, a thought crossed your mind?

Well it must have been a long and lonely journey”.

I GOT THE SACK

 

I got the sack, to my sorrow

But I still have to go in tomorrow

All though I don’t want to enter

I did work at the Job Center

THE HALF A CHICKEN CROSSED THE ROAD

 

The half a chicken crossed the road

Because he had no one beside

So, the reason it crossed the road

Was to get to its other side
