21st Century Nursery Rhymes #1


There was an old woman
Who lived in a shoe
She was a rough-sleeper
Her dog lived there too
The council can't help
She justs needs a bed
The dog turned on her
And now they're both dead.

CO-CODOMAL DREAMING (part 2)

I dreamt I drove a
Custard car
On a jelly track
I hit some cream
In this strange dream
I was a trifle slack.

Now Wash Your Hands
Now Wash Your Hands

Again!

ROUGH-SLEEPING FIGURES


The government may be lying to us
(Adjust your tin-foil hat)
It's all to do with Corona Virus
And simple cold-hard facts.

If numbers experts calculated
Are no more than fifteen
Why are people self-isolated
In shop doorways I have seen?


THE CONSTANT TRAVELLER

We are the constant travellers.
We are all sofa-surfing on the week.
The Landlord of Time is surely a Doctor Who villain.
I know I used to hide behind my sofa when the theme music started.
We all hide from the rent-man when he comes a-knocking.
He needs paying on time with time.
