The Medium Sized Spoon
Spoons come in all shapes and sizes
But you’ll never guess which size mine is
We looked for medium but they were rare
You might think that we don’t care
How mistaken you may be
We label ours A.. B.. C
It seems that only you have two
What can we say, shame on you
If you would like to rearrange your drawer
Pay a visit to the nearest store
There’s local places, there aplenty
5.. 10.. 15.. maybe 20
Ripon, Richmond, there are more
Or await Spoon Salesmen at your door

The Tri-Eyed Tribe
In a small wood Far, far, away
In an undiscovered part
Of this big wide world
Lived a very strange race of people
Their average height was only two foot six inches
Which is rather short But not strange
They spoke by making curious clicking noises
Maybe unusual But again, not strange
They were strict vegans
The idea of eating meat of any kind
They found totally repugnant
Yet again, nothing strange in that
What was strange
Was that they all possessed a third eye
Two of which Were exactly in the place
You'd...

Sticking My Neck Out
When i was just a child
A parent told me
When i grow up
It's a good idea
To be a little rational
Being regularly lost in myriad thoughts
And daydreams
I only heard
What to me
Sounded like
Be a little rash
So to impress my parents
I decided to go beyond
Their limited expectations of me
So i became very rash
On a lighter note
Such as falling out of trees
Over the top of bicycle handlebars
Building underground tunnels
That could of caved in at any time
Anyway
I only remember this moment in...

Olarf The Reindeer
Olarf hadn't quite made the grade
To qualify as one of Santas reindeer
He was ill disciplined, mischievous, and cheeky
But not to any extremes
His sense of fun
Was just a little over the top
Such as the time he put custard in Santas boots
Or the time he put a whoopie cushion
On Mis Christnas's chair
Even Santa was seen to let out a small yo ho
And even if he'd only done these things
Just a few times a year
It wouldn't be so bad
But it was nearly every day
That he was pranking
In fact, only yesterday
He took all...

A Wizard In A Blizzard
You'll never find a wizard
In a blizzard
They're far to wise for that
If you did find a wizard
In a blizzard
He'd be sure to be wearing a hat
Also if you did find a wizard
In a blizzard
He'd be sure to be wearing a cloak
If he wasn't
Then he can't be a wizard
In a blizzard
But just a dim-witted bloke!

The Silly Prince
The curious case of the farting witches
Who could only cast a spell
When they cast a smell
They cast horrible smells
On everyone they meet
Including
The king, queen, and their beautiful daughter
Who although the princess was very beautiful indeed
But because of the smell spell
No handsome prince
Would marry her
One prince did try
He even designed a special gas mask
Unfortunately
He kept fainting
As he'd forgotten
To put some way of breathing on his design
Silly prince.......

Should I Stay, Or Should I Go?
Here i am
As here i'm stood
Next to the door
Made of wood
What i'm doing
I don't quite know
Perhaps it's time
For me to go
But do i go in
Or do i come out
Do i knock
Or should i shout
There's no bell
Nor a thing to knock
There's no window either
But there is a lock
Yet no key
The door is open wide
Do i go in
Or stay outside?

Crossing The Threshhold
Feeling a little harried
Coz you're getting married
Who's to be carried
Across the threshhold
A bit of a ballyhoo
When you both say "i do"
So nervous you could poo
Across the threshhold
When walking down the aisle
It will seem like a mile
As you try to do it in style
Across the threshhold
Or a registry office is no better
The groom is going to get her
When he produces a french letter
Across the threshhold
But it could be a curse
If the french letter burst
Not sure who...

Miss Formalde Hyde
Doctor Jeckle
Once transmogrified
Into Hyde
Ventured into wedlock
(so i heard, or imagined)
And within a space
Of just two years
Mrs Hyde
Gave birth to a healthy baby girl
They (Mister & Mrs Hyde)
Named her Formalde
And despite of
Or maybe because of
Formaldes' interest in pickled things
Caused her to develop a problem
With a particularly pungent wind problem
Her persona was as grey, as the clothes she wore
She developed an interest
In at first pickling
But later preserving things
Initially...

Movie Night
Movie Night
“Well, we got out of the store without doing more than the necessary damage to your billfold.”
“I needed a woman to divert me from my path to dietary apocalypse.”
“You need only omit one word, that being ‘woman’. Anyone with even rudimentary knowledge of nutrition would know that day-old pizza is unacceptable.”
“The surgeon general would concur I am sure.”
“Then why do I have to tell you what is obvious?”
“Perhaps because I am part of the unwashed gender.”
“Well even though...

Focusing
Chocolate
Helps me focus
When i eat chocolate
I'm focused
On how much more
Chocolate
I can eat
It's like
A self fulfilling
Chocolate prophecy
