72 Miles From The Sea

Friday, 14 July 2023

The old ones are best:

What's orange and sounds like a

Parrot? A carrot

Finally, my tired mind was at peace

And my eyes closed, and I was able to dream

But after falling asleep it seemed

Like minutes, before the alarm began to scream

I just had a vegan pastie,

Which wasn’t bad at all,

It wasn’t Cornish though,

It was made in Quornwall

The man’s face was crimson red

And heavily pockmarked too

Like he recently been on fire

And put out with a Golf shoe

A relative of the Tyrannosaurus

With a complex vocabulary

They have named it Thesaurus

Anna Conda missed her best friends

And was sad and very lonely

They were at the exclusive snake club

Which was Mamba’s only

“Love doesn't make the world go round”

Elizabeth Barrett Browning said with a smile

Before she added by way of qualification

“Love is what makes the ride worthwhile”
