72 Miles From The Sea

Wednesday, 8 March 2023

The structure that tops the list,

By a distance or a smidge

For creating the most tension

Is clearly a suspension bridge

From what can you take away

The whole and still have some?

Is an interesting riddle isn’t it

And the answer is wholesome

A flirt dresses to kill

In her desire to impress

A butcher on the other hand

Kills to dress

The child that's born on the Sabbath day

Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay

(my wife is Sundays child, so I would have to dissagree)

Are you wearing slacks?

Oh I hate to call them that

They’re only trousers really

Unless you’re a pretentious twat

I am doubly handicapped

Which has scuppered my plans

I am illiterate and ambidextrous

So I can’t write with both hands

The girl in the crinoline gown

Danced like in a dream

While moving in unfashionable

Circles it would seem
