Silly Poems

feelings

by Liz Marshall

When a feeling's stuck in
You can just do a grin
Pretending that it doesn't matter.
But to turn things about,
You may help it come out
By having a really good natter.

the cough

By Jason Thompson

I tried to work but had a cough,
Took the day off,
Splutter sniff cough.
At least now there's slightly less stuff in our lof
t.

broken mug

By Andy Curtis

The mug. It's broken.

Broken by me.

It bounced once, and was fine.

It gave me hope, but the second time

It smashed into many pieces...

- primarily three

But an abundance of shards

Smaller than a pea.

The mug. It's broken.

Broken by me.

Sorry.

bennifer fell

By Andy Curtis

Bennifer Fell

First 10 meters
Scary screaming
Downward streaming
No point preening

Bennifer Fell

Next 10 meters
Onward lunging
Darkness plunging
All expunging

Bennifer fell

Last 10 meters
Hope diminished
Undistinguished
Bennifer's finished

12th night

by Andy Curtis

The 12th night I engineered
a chance meeting with her I said
"I think I love you,
I can't get you out of my mind"
She kicked me and went to call the police
I was overjoyed
I'd never got that far with a woman before

offer of help

by Andy Curtis

"Is there anything else I can do for you?"
The receptionist was polite
My mind raced
"Yes. I want to make love with you"
Actually, I simply smiled and said
"No, that's everything. Thank you."

plan of action

by Andy Curtis

When all else fails
Fail yourself as well
...and call life's bluff

you saw me

by Andy Curtis

You saw me, the other night.
For the first time, you really saw me
Now I feel shy with you
And uncomfortable
I don't really know how to be
Because I didn't really see you

your coffee

by Andy Curtis

I spent a week without
your strong and heady brew,
Richly satisfying, ever sweet and never bitter,
I endured those days without much grace,
Subduing memories of your face,
And longing endlessly to place,
My lips upon your mug.
