Mum Knows Best

On 29/05/2024 By Peter's ponderingIn childhood, creativity, fun, humour, Mums, Poetry, Silly slices of my mind, trees30 Comments

Hey diddle dee I’m stuck up a tree

With my trousers all shredded and torn

I should be more wary, avoid such things scary

Not climbing huge trees in a storm

My Mum sure knew best when she said “Wear a vest

You know how your chest is so weak”

But I thought I knew better until I got wetter

Caught the ‘flu and no longer could speak

The moral is clear you should never have fear

And remain in good cheer, never glum

But whatever you do remember this clue

You should always listen to Mum!

Oblique Thunking

I thought a thunk

it went kerplunk

and fell onto the floor.

I picked it up

and supped a cup

then thought a little more.

This thought was bland,

quite out of hand,

of little consequence;

It had no bulk

and made me sulk

it really made no sense.

I often think

that there’s a kink

within my thinking works

it shows my mind

to be some kind

of prittle prattle quirks

Some say it’s really obvious,

as plain as day to see,

but really it is complicad

and that’s because it’s me!

Seven Deadly Sins

On 06/05/2024 By Peter's ponderingIn accountability, death, getting older, humour, nonsense, Poetry, sin31 Comments

I died. I did, I really did; I died and went to heaven.

St Peter asked if I had sinned. I said “Oh, just the seven!”

I had to tell each sorry tale; you’d think they’d know already.

I asked him for a whisky sour to keep my nerves more steady.

So off we go with avarice, the toad depicts this sin.

Followed close by envy and a snake with deadly grin.

The wrath of lion and sloth of snail with gluttony of pig

Then lust of goat and peacock’s pride but no sin very big.

However, deadly sins they were, and those are never spent.

No matter I was sorry or how much I’d repent.

They listened most intently as each sin I’d retell,

Then closed the gates and waved me off as I went on to hell!

Fickle Tickles

Each one surmises Devizes wins prizes
but wise is the man who surprises his wife
I am the wise man whose size can surprise man
But you’d be surprised how my life’s full of strife
You may think this nonsense but not in this one sense
It makes perfect sense when it’s sent to the moon
And surely it’s common when wearing a sporran
To find fickle tickles arising too soon
I’m sure that the pure will arrive before long
And the wanton waifs will not be waiting behind
It seems to be safe that a poor wanton waif
Will be seen as a factual figment of mind
Concluding conundrums can only be right
I’m sure you’ll agree with this fact
When closely examined and with second sight
It is true that life’s simply an act!
