MY DUCKS ARE MOST DEFINITELY NOT IN A ROW

 

My ducks are most definitely not in a row

The whereabouts of some of them I do not know

And I’m almost certain one of them is a crow

THE OLD CHICKEN STOPPED LAYING EGGS

 

The old chicken stopped laying eggs

And when investigating the cause

The local vet soon discovered that she

Was going through the henopause

I DECIDED TO DO AN EVENING CLASS

 

I decided to do an evening class

And I chose the Carpenters one

We haven’t made anything yet

Because “We’ve only just begun”

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 443

Mary wore a little skirt

With splits right up the sides

And everywhere Mary went

Boys could feast their eyes

I WAS READY, WITHOUT A DOUBT

 

I was ready, without a doubt

Ready for the one

I was set on the start line

Heart beating at the run

Then bang!

Went loves starting gun

SHE’S TICKING ALL THE BOXES

 

“She’s ticking all the boxes”

I thought to myself

When I first laid eyes on her

But of course she wasn’t perfect

That would have been a claim too far

Then when we spoke, at length

More boxes were checked

But again she fell short of the summit

But then who wants perfection

Which is in reality subjective

I have met girls in my life

Slightly more than ordinary

But thought themselves perfect 

And others nearly perfect

And thought themselves ordinary

This girl was as close to it

As I had ever come

Or wanted to come

For if she was to be flawless

That would be unnatural

As well as undesirable

For it’s in the imperfections

Where character lies

OH WIND OF LOVE

 

Oh wind of love,

Blow my way

Have influence over me

Like the moon does the tides

Bring music into the silence

And shine your light

Into every darkened corner

And fill my world with love
