72 Miles From The Sea

Are you wearing it for a laugh?

It’s overly sweet in fact it’s cloying

I know it’s supposed to be funny

But to me it’s just annoying

Roses are russet,

Violets are Sienna

I guess I must be

Colourblind then

Roses are grey,

Violets are bleak

I found out I was

Colorblind last week

My sister would only work on one animal

So all the local farmers mocked her

And upset her, but I soon cheered her up

When I pointed out that she was a Doctor

When I said I would make a bike out of spaghetti,

I was greeted by the sound of my wife’s laughter

Well she was laughing on the other side of her face

On that wonderful day when I rode straight pasta

My next-door neighbour is a mathematician

He’s a seriously clever bloke is Graham

But he’s scared to death of negative numbers

And he'll stop at nothing to avoid them

I forgot my online banking password again

So I know what needs to be done about that

And I know the importance of security but I wonder

Exactly how many times I can rename my cat?
