Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

Ate Ball

Ate Ball (An original poem based on an ancient joke)

Went to the docs with an ache in my gut
But all that he did was stand there and tut
He looked down his nose as though I was a sinner
Then asked what I ate and he queried my dinner.

I said I eat snooker balls, often a red
If I fancy a change, I'll try blue instead
But I'm quite a modern adventurous fellow
So sometimes I'll take me a bite from a yellow

And if I'm up late and I fancy a snack
I'll maybe partake of a white or a black
But if I go out for a film and a drink
I'll finish the night with a brown or a pink

The doctor just scratched his bald head then he said
Could it be proper food fills you with dread
You can't just eat snooker balls, not if it means
You just eat your favourites and don't eat your greens.
