Nonsense Poem

Because it was Wednesday

Sydney went to see the Eiffel Tower.

The gendarme stuck his chocolate poker

In the cathedral,

And the sunflowers chased the mice away.

The rain took umbrage and went upwards;

Affronted, the clouds spat shooting stars.

Jenny raised a fist to the monkey

Who stole the shades from the hippopotamus –

He was sunbathing in porridge and blueberries at the time.

The politician took his mask off and sighed

As the DJ changed the record

From black to purple vinyl.

Fred stomped his feet

And Nancy did a pirouette;

Her proud mother rode

A shopping trolley to the launderette,

Posting her slippers on the way.
