Short Euros Poems

She queued for tickets
at the ticket booth
and paid in euros...
Her tickets were pear-shaped
for a film called "Pear".

She came pear-shaped to the matinée.

You knew I would say that,
or maybe the booth man told you
as she walked away...

Her heels clicked on the crazy path
and the man looked as long as dared.

And into his conservatory right onto the target, 
When he’s not training at Stoke Mandeville,

‘And ‘Cos he won the World Cup, he made Rio....

the dog followed them, leaving behind the castle,
the bed and a puzzled man....

Here we are at fair again,
but today is bleak and windy.
Various signs do shake
and the toffee man is here. 

Kids are having ice cream
and asking me for euros.
The neon lights do glare...
Should I order some fast food?

Now kids are on the fun slide
and the toffee man is smiling.
Toffee rhymes with coffee,
but I can't get in the mood.

Jonathan has been to three Paralympics, 
Beijing in China, London 2012 and Rio; 
He’s a Motherwell midfielder in the mix,

Three of them, and has an education, 
In sports coaching development, bevel....
