Triple Twenty
No-one knew
Or possibly didn't care
Or wonder
Why this particular dragonfly
Had no tail, or much body
And that's why
It had no control
On how it could fly
Oft seen
Crashing into trees, hedges,
And other dragonflies
Who often mistook this dragonfly
As a helicopter seed
As it crashed chaotically to the ground
This was not good for the dragonflies' morale
He soon took to wearing
A false torso
Which kind of gave him better balance
And in time
Was able to fly again
Although he came to a tragic end ...

DEER
He was walking ever so
carefully down the winding
road
The most alluring of milky scents
wafted through the crisp
air
A blue roaring beast slowed
to a full stop with light brighter than
day
Now he could only smell
the rough choke of
diesel
He didn't even bother to
leap away as he was
disappointed
There was no collision and
he'd rather die than lose scent of
rose-milk

A Fishy Limerick
There once was a lady of
Hastings
Who was busy with her much time
wastings
When lost down a
twitten
She was immediately
smitten
With her fish, and chip supper
and mushy pea tastings
by Jemia

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

Losing my marbles
I’m trapped inside the ceiling
I’m trapped inside the wall
I’m trapped inside the windows
I’m trapped inside the floor
Can you hear me screaming?
Can you hear my moan?
I’m crying out for assistance
But no-one hears my call!
I’m trapped inside the mirror
I’m trapped inside the hall
I’m trapped inside the table
I’m trapped inside the door
I don’t know where I’m going
I don’t know where I am
I have lost all of my marbles
Then found them all again!

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 ...

Cocooned In Silk
One wild and wintry winter
He ventured to the wood
Guided only by the eerie moonlight
As he reached the spot,where a monster once stood
He called out "Oh monster!"
"Come to me forthwith"
"I wish to make a deal with you"
"That one day you may'st forgive"
He waited upon a mossy bank
Surrounded by frozen leaves
And within a moment of minutes
A loud crunching could be perceived
As he beckoned it even closer
He began to perceive its size
As wide as a felled oak tree ...

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...

The Avenging Ghost
"Why did you run me over?"
But you say nothing as You examine my broken body
Lying on the lonely road
The driver speaks to the passenger Who is still in the car
He laughs like a man possessed "It's alright" he shouts
"Another victim to add to my list!" He laughs again
As he returns to his car, and drives off
I'm barely alive I somehow manage to cross the road
Towards the woods To hide, just in case he comes back
But i knew i was dying
My last living thoughts Who would look after my children?
I left...

Flaunting around…
I’m as astute as a flute
I’m as aware as a flare
I’m as obnoxious as a goat
Just to keep the world afloat!
I’m as bored as a bat
I’m filled with tat like your cat
And for a fact, I like rats
For their ticks, and their tacks
I’m as numb as a nun
I’m your chum, we have fun
I’m tweedle-dee
And you’re tweedle-dumb
I’m as aware as a flare
I’m as obnoxious as a goat
Just to keep the world afloat!
I’m as bored as a bat
I’m filled with tat like your cat
And for a fact, I like rats
For their ticks, and their tacks
I’m as numb as a nun
I’m your chum, we have fun
I’m tweedle-dee
And you’re tweedle-dumb
