The manipulative tart

There was a lady who made people sore,
As around her they did more and more,
And all the while,
She’d just sit and smile,
That lazy manipulative whore.

Modern Medusa

There once was a medusa who could,
Turn a man into stone where he stood,
Nowadays cameras,
When pointed at actors,
Can turn some of them into wood.

When Aliens Land and Steal All The Men…

There will come a time soon I think when,
Some will take pity on us nagged ones and then,
Some kind beings benign,
Who will treat us quite fine,
Will come to Earth and rescue all of the men.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then ladies will have to open their own jars,
As we have fun up amongst all the stars,
You’ll be forgotten,
Missing us something rotten,
And you’ll then have to then park your own cars.

If Edward Lear had written Sonnets…

Instead of…

There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said ‘It is just as I feared! –
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!’

Maybe He would have wrote…

There was a Man with a very long beard,
That grew not only long but ever so bushy
Who said “It’s dreadful and just as I feared! –
My life is so annoying and not at all cushy
Two Tawny Owls and a Speckled Red Hen,
Nine Black Head Gulls and six little Sparrows
Four noisy Larks and a sweet little Wren,
Eight Canadian Geese and two tiny Swallows
And finallly a coinfident red chested robin
Have all come to stay and all built their nests
In my beard causing my chin to be throbbin’
They are really nasty annoying pests
So I will at last let my beard be shorn
Will sleep much better when its quiet at dawn

Which leads me to conclude…

There was an old man called Lear
Whose limericks some people hold dear
In the form of  a sonnet
The extra lines on it
Would make the rhyme sound somewhat queer

Taunton and Somerset People

There was a young man from Taunton,
Who was clever and witty and fun,
Thats what you get,
In green Somerset,
Inspiration within everyone.

Horses running around and jumping over things then doing it all over again for a second time unless they unseat their riders or break a leg and have to be put down aka The Grand National

So again it is Grand National day,
Soon the horses will be on their way,
Many will falter,
On the jumps and the water,
And gamblers will lose half their pay.

The Beatles, a scientific critique

Sung four young men from liverpool,
“All you need is love” and they were cool,
But there again,
Forgetting oxygen,
Would only be done by a fool.

Lazy Trees (Can’t be arsed to grow leaves. They stand around all naked in winter then stand around in the summer months, they should get a job)

In Toy Town there are many trees,
Its spring but they still have no leaves,
When I’m out for a walk,
If to these plants I would talk,
I’d tell them to grow green shoots please.

The Dodgy Smell at the Cricket

The Trescothick stand can sometimes be whiffy,
So sitting there is somewhat iffy,
But its a good view of the cricket,
Watching us take a wicket,
And cheering on someone called Stiffy.

My first trip to a 21st century doctor

Since the nineties I haven’t seen my GP,
And my doctor has not looked at me,
But today I felt ill,
So needed a pill,
To help my tender and sick left kidney.
