It was a funny old day yesterday. <br />The priest sent kids <br />Around his parish <br />To put stickers <br />On letterboxes saying <br />'Jehovah’s Witnesses <br />Please call.' <br /> <br />The graffiti artists <br />Painted <br />'Yes Islam' slogans <br />On watercolour <br />Backgrounds. <br /> <br />The Naziskins <br />Threw a welcoming party <br />For the <br />Illegal immigrants. <br /> <br />The politicians <br />Outlawed bureaucracy, <br />Reduced taxes <br />And gave themselves <br />A pay cut. <br /> <br />The trains <br />Ran on time. <br /> <br />Children everywhere <br />Ate their vegetables <br />And asked for more. <br /> <br />Husbands <br />Really listened <br />To their wives. <br /> <br />Women <br />Found burps and farts <br />Funny. <br /> <br />You read my poems <br />And I told you <br />I loved you <br />Yesterday. <br /> <br />Yes, it was a funny old day<br /><br />Sallie Howson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/yesterday-29/
