The things she sees
She saw a chicken on a motorbike,
and spat at snakes that were about to strike,
she sees a lot of things she doesn't like:
once, it was Hitler standing in the room,
a monkey paragliding to its doom,
a glowing spectre creeping from a tomb,
an ugly man who turned and dropped his pants,
a horse and camel ate up all the plants,
a legless cat and tortoise couldn't dance,
a crocodile who smirked and smoked a pipe,
a skinny dog in glasses tried to type -
and now a row of butts that need a wipe
and queen Victoria has come to tea!
...but on the best of days she knows I'm me...
