Poems: Topical and Funny

Monday night
and cottage pie tea
now my evening's
chilling and free

I’ve hunted near, I’ve hunted far
I even looked inside my car.
I’ve lost my glasses, I’m in need,
To have them now so I can read.
I loudly swear and I curse
Did I leave them in my purse?
Are they behind the sofa, under the bed?
Oh there they are—on my head!

They have said
The north winds will bkow
and we shall have snow
What will we have to do then?

On Halloween night, when the moon does rise,
Fear abounds, it’s no surprise.
Ghosts and goblins roam the street,
With tricks and treats to compete.

Witches cackle as they brew their potions,
While skeletons dance in wild motions.
But amidst the fright and eerie sounds,
One thing is clear: fear truly astounds.

It's Bonfire Night
and I wonder why
no one still shouts
"Penny for thr Guy?"

I ate a chili pepper
One a lunch-time dare;
Sandy said I’d burn my mouth,
But I didn’t care.

I ate that chili pepper—
Left not a seed to waste—
And won that truly silly bet,
But lost my sense of taste.
