RED LEATHER CHAIR

 

My earliest memory

Of Grandpa Henry

Is of him sat in his chair,

A red leather affair,

Reading a volume

Of prose in his room

He sat me on his knee

And then he read to me

And for an age, we pair

Sat in his red leather chair

Reading tales of daring

And in adventures sharing

I WAS ONCE A MEDICAL STUDENT # 5

 

I was once a medical student

But I didn’t really try

I was asked what “varicose” meant

And said it was nearby

I DON’T HAVE A SATNAV

 

I don’t have a Satnav

I don’t need one in my life

My Satnav is my wife

TO THOSE WHO LOOTED

 

To those who looted electrical goods during rioting,

A Police press conference announced today

Should be aware of the consequences so remember this

A FOREIGN STUDENT FROM CALCUTTA # 1

A foreign student from Calcutta

Accidentally snorted curry powder

Thinking it was cocaine the silly duffer

He survived but he’s still in a Korma 

A MAN RAN SCREAMING FROM A BUILDING

 

A man ran screaming from a building

"It’s a boy, I don't believe it, it’s a boy!"

Which would have been quite touching

Had he not been running from a house of joy
