72 Miles From The Sea

Friday, 13 January 2023

At work it was the birthday

Of a colleague that no one can abide

The card we got was perfect for her

Because it was blank inside

Every child will at some time

Threaten to run away

And that hope keeps parents

Going day to day

I haven’t been able to find prawn bread

I have searched from coast to coast

So, what I really want to know now is

How on earth do they make prawn toast

Sometimes I think I’ll be a male stripper

Be bold and take a chance

But then I remember I’m really fat

And I can’t actually dance

She went to the doctors with a lettuce leaf

Poking out of her knickers which was quite absurd

And it looked a really nasty sight in truth

But it turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg

Doctor Foster

Went to Gloucester,

Because he liked a rhyme

We had to line up outside

To catch the sightseeing boat

And there was no air-conditioning

Not even when we got afloat
