Silly Poems

attraction

by Andy Curtis

I can't believe how attractive you are.
From the outset, we just clung together
Like reunited lovers
There's always such a buzz when you're around
And what's that aroma?
It's strangely familiar.

You hold me - tighter, if anything,
And I simply can't let go.
You make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up
You make all the other ones stand up too
And you're hot - so amazingly hot!
I can't even manage to ask for what I really want -
Like, for the electric to be switched off.

the bruise

by Liz Curtis

I’ve got a big bruise on my bottom
I was just going to sit on my chair
Half way between sitting and standing
I realised the chair wasn’t there

I thrashed my arms round rather wildly
I started to panic and then
I felt a sharp pain on my bottom
And found I was sitting again

The furniture moved to allow me
To put my bum down on the floor
Thank goodness that nothing was broken
But I felt that my bum would be sore

I gingerly checked out my body
Unsteadily got to my feet
With the furniture rearranged neatly
I managed to sit on my seat

I’ve got a big bruise on my bottom
It must have received quite a whack
With slightly red bits round the edges
It’s coloured all purple and black

I’ve got a big bruise on my bottom
I don’t mean to show off or brag
But really it is very splendid
It should be in some bruised bum mag
