the ship

The Ship
by Pieter Jan Sanders
(Aged 13 at the time of writing)

The sky was as black as black can be,
the ship was tossed on a stormy sea,
the waves, they crashed against the rocks,
whilst the sailors cursed and washed their socks.

The ship did roll, the spray did fly,
the captain got some in his eye,
and each man was certain that he would die,
as he hung out his socks and left them to dry.

Then the ship it struck the rocks!
Then it began to sink!
The sailors died without their socks,
with their pants in a bowl in the sink.

Welcome to Silly Poems, Pieter - keep 'em coming!

how is leggy?

by Andy Curtis

Leggy is shitty
Hurty and dicky
Horrid and scabby
And rubbish and crap

Thanks for asking.

a wave

by Andy Curtis & Liz Marshall

A wave came up on the beach
I thought it was out of reach
But it covered my feet with water
'Cos I was standing where I didn't ought'a

marriage

by Andy Curtis


The day I got married
I didn't feel harried
I didn't feel worried
Or horrid at all.
It was a moment to savour
And I didn't once waver
For no-one could save her
From a lifetime with me
