someone should put them in their place
i found three of them hiding at
the end of this sentence...
Do you think shaggy cried when scooby died?
Would a red smurf suffer from racism?
Does it bother god his name spelled backwards is Dog?
What if darkness is afraid of light?
Do tears every cry?
Why is captain caveman a captain?
Why is there no black teletubbies?
Why is it easier to hurt than help?
And finally why are we here?
Is it just to die?
Or just to live?
The distance between here and there,
A lifetime measured in klicks;
And I guess to be fair,
I should mention some of the dicks.
For travelled along the way,
On this winding path up and down,
Interspersed I have to say
A few dicks I surely found.
But I ask myself; why go there?
When the dicks I have left behind;
Retirement man, I've got to share,
Nary a dick am I to find.
And maybe that's the best thing of all,
Looking back between here and there;
As old age I forestall,
Not one dick story have I to share.
Life is a learning process
Each day a useful test
But some people, you’ll agree
They are born with a degree
Of self delusion
They’re the ones who know it best.

Placed 3rd
There once was a gardener called Dick
Whilst in his garden he thought he was slick
When in the shrubs he poses
He's so stupid, their Roses
And now he's starting to feel a slight prick
