National Poetry Day 2014

When we announced the imminent arrival
Of another,
Daughter wanted a sister, and son
A brother.
And little one wanted
A pig.

Baby was born, red, grunting and squeaking
And the cry went up "why does little one
Always get
His Own Way?"

j.e.j.

Why do people gather here
to air their woes and irks and fears..


(anyone want to write the next lines?)

we mop the brows and virtual tears
and jump around
to lose some pounds:j:j

Oh please Mr Cameron where are we going,
You promised i'd prosper,but the pound in my pocket isn't growing
You told me that we're all in this together,
But i'm here in rags, while Miss Whiplash dresses George in leather,
I understood when you said the Country needed to save,
But never thought it would mean i'd end living in this cave,
I loved my little house where i'd been for all my life,
But along came IDS and stuck in his knife.
He told me he was doing it for my own good,
At least Ben Turpin wore a hood.
Please someone explain to why life is so empty
When i see Bankers & Politicians with wallats a'plenty.
