Retired Pirate at Rest, by Laura Louise Stewart

1/8/2016

My whole life we'd kept a wild secret
Our very own fam'ly black sheep
See Dad's Dad was Cap'n Jack Scurvy
Marauder of oceans so deep

When Grandpa moved into our spare room
Imagine the poor neighbours shock
But scoundrels get older too, says Jack
An' weigh down their anchors at dock

I dinnae like the countryside
I cannae stand the trees,
An’ when I meet a person here
He stops an’ stares an’ flees.

I’m the leader of the space race. 
I’m a primate in his prime.

I’m taking one small step for me,
one giant leap for chimpkind.

​My dear it seems you are confused,
as everybody knows,
you never, ever put your feet,
near someone else's nose.

It's Only a Boring Old Book by Kathryn Evans

15/7/2016

What’s that you’ve got?
A book? Oh that’s boring.
All those words on a page,
They just leave me snoring.
Everyone knows it,
It’s pure common knowledge,
A dusty old book’s
Like a bowl of cold porridge.

The Moody Mardy Minotaur by Mo O'Hara

5/7/2016

0 Comments

 
​A moody mardy Minotaur still walks the mountain way.
Calumphing 'cross the corpses he encounters day by day.
Don’t ask him why he does it - that’s a dangerous game to play.
And many men have tried and failed (NOT lived to rue the day).

Peer into my telescope.
Look closely at those shapes.
Can you believe it? I’ve just found…
the Planet of the Apes!

We Don't Eat Mortals, Son ... by Lesley Moss

19/6/2016

When you said: Son, we don’t eat mortals.
Ever. It’s against the rules - 

I disbelieved you, disrespected you,
now it seems I was the fool.

 
​I didn’t understand, I didn’t know,

so I crunched on skulls and bones.
Mortal morsels were so tasty, I didn’t want to misplace any, waste any.
Now I want to go back home but I’m stuck here all alone
in a maze of ice and stone.

The Ballad Of The Watcher, by Lesley Moss

Illustration © 2016 Chris Riddell funny poems on the funeverseIllustration © 2016 Chris Riddell
The Watcher sat and waited as the storm raged fierce and strong,
The sea slapped waves against the rock he’d sat upon so long,
The moon made trails of silver that led to the lighthouse stair
As the Watcher sat and waited,
Waited – watched and waited –
The Watcher sat and waited, though nobody else was there.

​“Don’t worry,” said Iguanodon,

“No need to look so woebegone.
I’m sure that thing that’s in the sky
Will soon have gone and passed us by.”

Parrot fish, angel fish,
Jellyfish, and clam,
Panic when they see me,
They swim away, they scram.

The Fairy Tale Forest by Dom Conlon

There might be ghosts in spooky fogs.
There might be snarling, snapping dogs.

If I am brave, I’ll be ok.

There might be witches on the breeze.
There might be spiders in the trees.

​I want to eat my cake now,

I’ve eaten all my cabbage.

I’ve eaten all my peas.

UNDERWATER BLISS by Rebecca Colby

A shark was out hunting and spied a wee fish,  
‘I’ll have her for dinner. She’ll make a nice dish.’
But as he gave chase, he felt an emotion--
stronger than hunger--it was love and devotion.
