They flew on a moonbeam <br />and danced on the stars <br />the giraffe looked at the kangaroo <br />and said how do you do. <br />Old Mother Hubbard got into the act <br />when she went to the cupboard and found it bare. <br />“Sorry guys there is no food in there.” <br />Tom Thumb jumped up, said I’ll play mum, <br />and with that pulled out a plum. <br />They sat round the table <br />the giraffe, the kangaroo, <br />and the giraffe asked what you eating roo? <br />Caterpillar stew because wise guy <br />I hate to see butter fly. <br />Pinocchio stuck is nose in <br />like he likes to do <br />when suddenly it grew and grew. <br />A passing elephant looked in, <br />“Hey Pinocchio can you play a tune on that like I can do? ” Therefore, the nonsense band was born. <br />They played all night causing a bit of a storm, <br />the candles for miles all went plop, <br />and I’m glad to say this is nearly your lot. <br />All those who read this I hope get a smile <br />or at least a kick in the pants. <br />Because watch behind you there is an angry mule. <br />You’ve been framed <br />That’s the name of the game. <br />Now there is just one last thing to say <br />I’m removing the vote counter before I go away <br />because I know that some jolly prankster <br />will read this silly thing <br />and only leave me a one. <br />Now that’s all folks <br />as the loony toons might say <br />just enjoy yourself for the rest of the day. <br /> <br />& September 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-silly-poem-3/
