72 Miles From The Sea

Friday, 26 August 2022

Joshua did his multiplication

Homework on the kitchen floor

Because he was apparently

Told not to use tables anymore

They just keep on talking

Long after people are

No longer interested

So we should pity the teacher

Some people need to extract

Their finger out of their butt again

To get some much needed

Oxygen to their brain

There was a man in Thessaly,

And he was wondrous wise,

He helped us and we wouldn’t have found

That sports bar otherwise

Are you wearing that for a reason?

That most revealing spray on dress

I can see everything you’ve got

There is no need for me to guess

A pensioner’s bedtime

In retirement is quite informal

Two hours after dozing off

In front of the TV is normal

How many pensioners does it take?

To change a light bulb that’s blown

Only one, but it might take all day

To get around to it on their own
