72 Miles From The Sea

Monday, 2 January 2023

When I first heard the name mentioned

I had a flash back to tell the truth

I was convinced that Candy Crush

Was a minor porn star from my youth

I am a quite remarkable person

And that’s a matter of fact

But the trouble with being fantastic

Is that Opposites attract

He was not blessed with looks

And had a look to be pitied

He had a face like a fit, but

You couldn’t tell what it fitted

His features were at odds

Individually each was a quirk

His face didn’t seem to understand

The value of teamwork

She was a good wife but was neglected

She had no marital attention paid

Her husband was always in the pub

Blowing the froth off another barmaid

Although I’m clearly not a girl I do

Understand the concept of a trainer bra

But if there are similar aims with trainer socks

Then I don’t know what they are

My next-door neighbour is fat and bald

And just sits around all day

He’s looks like the Buddha, but without

The enlightenment I’d say
