72 Miles From The Sea

Friday, 27 August 2021

I spend half an hour searching

for my glasses beside the bed

Only to discover find that they

were on the top of my head

Something has happened

That I don’t think is nice

Because my poetic license

Has been revoked, Twice

In their great dominion

And the favourite delicacy

Among them is pickled minions

I Googled my symptoms

As I had an irritated eye

And found Conjunctivitis.com

That’s a site for sore eyes

My granddad has

The heart of a Lion

And a lifetime ban

From Woburn

Why did the chicken go to the séance?

Rather than stay where he resides

The reason he went to the séance

Was so he could reach the other side

My cross eyed teacher was dismissed

The governors have no scruples

They said it wasn’t her disability

But that she couldn't control her pupils
