72 Miles From The Sea

A number of Chemists were taken ill

And try as we might we couldn’t Helium

And because we were unable to Curium

The only thing we could do was Barium

Whatever the outcome of war

It leaves many people bereft

And doesn’t prove who is right,

But it certainly proves who is left

When I first got into athletics

A hurdle scared me a bit

But with dogged perseverance

I managed to get over it

If you really want to terrify

A confirmed batchelor?

Fill his pockets with confetti

While he’s passed out on the floor

There is only one thing that flies faster

Than stock off the shelves on Black Friday

And that is the endless flash of white

Of till receipt as the customers pay

He was a pessimist and no mistake

But he wasn’t a cup half empty kind of guy

He was very much worse than that

He didn’t even have a cup, that’s why

What do you call a chicken?

The question begs

If it wears a shell suit?

It’s obviously an Egg
