I like to write daft little verses like these. As you can see I don't take it all too seriously!















Apart from my other work, I like to write daft little snippets like these!



























1.    
Spiky seas came rushing in on corrugated sand.
Clouds and foam were smacked apart by Nature's mighty hand.
My head thrown back I cried to God, 'Should I live or die?'
When a seagull gave a gift to me, right in my bloody eye!

2.
I used to be thin and now I'm fat,
'Oh, I can be thin agin', I cried,
But when I tried, I knew I'd lied,
So I'm still fat, and that's that!

3.
If a man was any good at sex,
he'd never have to buy it.
The girls would line up, two by two,
Begging just to try it!

4.
If on your fortieth birthday,
you looked in the mirror and cried,
remember a glowing ember burns
long after the sweet young flames have died!


PS: I do know how to spell 'again', but 'agin' fits the verse

Loved these Audrie - particularly #3. I think you might have be starting something here.  
 
More doodles to follow?

... Ogden Nash ! 
And perhaps , as Phil intimated , you might have to step smartly aside to avoid being trampled in the rush of those joining in . Fun bits . ( But why only two at a time ? )

Hi Audrie, 
I'm with the others, I think these are great, especially #2. Looking forward to more similar from you ,but I shall resist the temptation to inflict my feeble efforts on you all.

I think #3 is the mantra Ann Summers employees chant every morning before starting work. Delightful bits of nonense, audrie - I have a suspicion you may have a few more of these up your sleeve...

Wow! Thank you all. I see you share my sense of the ridiculous! 
 
You asked for more - so I've done Snippets 2. But don't encourage me, you'll get the real poets in a 'tiz! 
 
I'll put in another one, Teacups and Spoons, which I wrote after visiting Canada and staying in the forest and seeing all the delightful animals.
