Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Colloquialisms - For Contest

Poor Humpty Dumpty was a numpty when he fell off the garden wall
His poor old ma went bananas, told me to buzz off when I call

Guess I better sit on the shelf otherwise I’ll go completely nuts
I ain’t gonna take no stick from that mangy old bunch of mutts

I’ll get myself a fix of chocolate cos I could do with a little lift
But I’ll end up with a spare tyre, that blubber I’m gonna have to shift

I’m feeling so blue and sad today the gremlins are in my life
Perhaps I better go for a stroll or I’ll get an ear bashing from the wife

Maybe I’ll see some dickie birds or a cute fluffy little bunny
If I see their lil’ bob tails, oh man they look so darn funny

Next I'll grab the old gal some chox and a nice bunch of flowers
She’ll be putting on her war paint, boy that can take some hours

Now I’m gonna sit on the fence and try and get a little rest
Got my best bib and tucker on - I’m dressed in my Sunday best

Maurice Rigoler July 20, 2015 at 11:33 AM How kind of you to think so, Jan. But the truth is every humorous journal I've submitted to has rejected my work as "not what we are looking for." Can't please everyone, I guess. But I'm not deterred. Enjoyed your colloquialisms. / M Jan Allison July 20, 2015 at 11:36 AM Guess I better not bother submitting any of my poems either then Maurice lol - gosh if we can't write with humour then we may as well give up now!
