The Best Toyshop In The World by Jo Dearden

Jack McGill’s has thrills ’n’ spills
for every boy and girl
​So if you want to play
come and spend the day
at the best toyshop in the world

There’s… hoops with sticks, and lost magic tricks
and spooky crystal balls
Doves and cats and rabbits in hats 
and masks that hang from the walls

Toyshop poem from the funeverse by Jo Dearden, illustration by Nick Butterworth

Mr Muscle by Jo Dearden

Our Dad was on a mission
to get the housework done
He said he’d do a proper job…
…much better than our Mum

He chose his weapons wisely
Some Cif and Toilet Duck
They’d come in very handy for 
a one man war on muck

He fought the fusty front room
with a cloud of scented spray
And ran around in just his vest
and yelled, “Yippee Ki Yay!”
Funny housework poem from the funeverse by Jo Dearden

The Witches' Ball by Jo Dearden

Once a year, on All Saint's Eve
the witches all convene 
to throw the strangest party 
that the world has ever seen

They take their cauldrons off the boil
They hang up cloaks and hats
Then show each other YouTube clips 
of durpy dancing cats

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.

Might shave my head, might pierce my nose

It’s no big deal – skin heals, hair grows

Sitting pretty seems absurd
I think I should be seen AND heard

The Lady of Shallot by Jo Dearden

Perhaps you didn’t hear me
or maybe you forgot
But I’m not the Onion Fairy
I’m the Lady of Shallot


Shallots are small and round and sweet
(folk say I’m good enough to eat)

Sleep beneath the moon tree
and rest your weary head
with fallen leaves for blankets
and soft moss for your bed

Have you seen this creature?
He might be after you
He's fast and fierce and on the loose
He's pretty hungry too.

The Bad Hair Fairy by Jo Dearden

I don’t have a wand – I don’t sparkle
And I won’t swap a coin for your tooth
I’m always suspicious of granting three wishes
OK. Here it comes. Here’s the truth.

We all loved the fact that Jo submitted not one but THREE poems in response to Katherine Lynas's images. That was above and beyond our requirements but showed that she was willing to go the extra mile to join the funeverse. How could we resist?

Slugs and snails

I really don’t think you should eat me
I’m stringy and gristly and tough
You said it yourself when you saw me
I’m scrawny – I’m ‘not fat enough’
