Ponderings

Can puppets have sex

with no strings attached?

Should one sit on a plan

that needs to be hatched?

How come fluff in one’s navel

is all naval grey?

Can a chocolate confection

aid work, rest and play?

Why is there no other word

for “thesaurus”?

How would a steak taste,

of fresh Brontosaurus?

Can love be unmade

like a bed in the morning?

Should all condoms come,

with a three minute warning?

Why are new CDs

so hard to unwrap?

Why do these MPs

only talk crap?

Why is this poem,

fast disappearing?

Is it because

my bedtime

is nearing?

Raised a smile with each question. Interestingly (or not) my navel fluff is always red. 
Enjoyed.

An inspired beginning! I love it...nice idea and there are a couple of real gems in here...not so sure about the brontosaurus steak mind

Thought this was great Oli. Light-hearted without sacrificing good form and rhythm :)
