Archives – Poem of the Day

Airy the fairy has armpits so hairy
Strands get in the way of his wings
They flap in his face when he tries to embrace
And they tickle his throat when he sings

Vera bought some talking ointment
’Cos the silent tub was dearer
She thought it was a gimmick
So she screamed when it said, “ ’Allo Vera!”

The hedgehogs have a soccer team,
I was surprised to hear,
A pretty useful one that won
The forest league last year

While trotting round the neighbourhood,
I contemplated horses
Though saddled with a nagging wife,
There’s no equine divorces
