Jumble Jumblerhino and chimp in the knife and fork drawer
a baker baking bread on the ocean floor
jumble jumble
indoor shed
oh someone put the oak tree back to bed
daffodil and tulip in a coffee machine
big clown shoes on a beauty queen
jumble jumble
paper seat
oh someone poured the gravy on their auntie’s feet
gingerbread biscuit men launched into space
next door’s house...

there's only one winner-take-all there.
And I left it up to you to guess who....

I'm not even a poet, I'm a rhymerI'm not even a poet, I'm a rhymer.
When I start a new verse, first thing I do is grab for a timer.
And if the verse takes more than five minutes flat,
I say, "Okay, that's about enough of that!"
And then I go back to reading my "How to enjoy your retirement" primer....

Yeah, I know my poetic oeuvre contains a fair bit of junkYeah, I know my poetic oeuvre contains a fair bit of junk.

you can expect to find quite a few genuine stinkers ~
most art never attains great heights ~ most just immediately goes kerplunk.

I don't take myself too seriously.

afraid of my closetMy co-workers gave me money to buy clothes
I am speechless; they think I only own two shirts
They do not know I have a closet full of stuff
But that closet is bulging and there is a bogey man in it
That’s why I keep wearing these two shirts...

I will not make a left while drivingI will drive anywhere
If I don’t have to make a left
Unless it’s a driveway
and there are no other cars on the street
If it is an intersection without an arrow
I will drive twelve miles out of my way
And drive a box to come in on the other side
So, I can make a right...
