Long Chuffed Poems

Rum felt a chill which he couldn’t explain
Had mum left the freezer door open again?
He went to the kitchen and muttered, “Aha!”
The freezer door was just a little ajar

Inquisitive kittens, as everyone knows
Would not simply...

Lost Soul

We’ve gathered here to say goodbye
to yet another boring guy,
kept on yelling for attention
till it gave him hypertension.
Now in the box beneath the shroud
he’s got the eye of all the crowd,
best leading role he...

If not for that, I will ask for a millennia

I will make our love awestruck for your progeny
And posterity will make us a...

To be fed facile fantasy, a script he held 
Stowed in  boyhood through decades
Recessed where sweating shame dwelled 
Invisible while he achieved accolades 
Gridiron big man outperform boastful

To the skies...cries of have we sinned..the seasons spinned...winter grinned as before it’s really beginned...spring’s been sneakily binned..

That bitter wind does cheekily blow...delivers tingling..slivers of mulled wine mingling shivers..oh and..shed loads of snow..

You know it...

OH to be 21


Your 21st has finally come,

And now your journey has begun,

To say I’m proud is simply not enough,

Of the incredibly intelligent, independent,

Wonderful, wise women you’ve become,

My descendant, I’m just so chuffed,

Academically you’ve excelled...

There’s an ostrich in my porridge
There’s a shrew in my canoe
There’s...

But it seems we getting some where
Even if it turns not to be a causality
Then our friendship type...

Still freestyle, she secured a warm silver fold,

REFLECTED IMAGE

I looked into a mirror
and then I smiled to see
A pleasant smiling image
reflecting back at me.

When I'd taken a closer look
my skin seemed young and clear,
not a blemish was in sight,
starting my day with...

named a North York’s town
while taking a sip of his beer 
and eying the company round.
We knew there was a story coming.
We could tell by the look...

their cute ears stick out from under blue hats.
She dresses them in brightly colored plastic suits,
and on their paws they wear red wellington boots.

What is happening in the world today?
I really wish my life would change
Everyday’s exactly the same
Nothing differs in a good way
And I got no’ one else to blame
It’s like a picture in a frame

Burn the walls, build the bridges, 
For the gap is wide asunder; 
Destroy the hedge of bitterness, 
And remove the big barrier.

A person sits in the nook, 
Alone and lonely in ages; 
For he makes...

Go away, Today,
You have overstayed your stay.
You think you're tough,
We've had enough it's been rough,
It's time to go.
Go now,
We can't allow
This bedlam to last,
You've had your day,
Just vanish, we say
Be a memory of our past.
