Silly poems for Brilliant BOOKhutters! By Anderson A. Anderson et al

I have spent literally moments on writing the following poems for you. (No - not YOU Finnegan Gimble! You can stand in the corner. And turn around - we are offended by your beard and all that is trapped in it!)

As such, I have changed my name temporarily to Anderson A. Anderson. Don’t ask me why! (I said DON’T ask me why, Finnegan. And you can turn around again!)

My first offering is this little sham number:

‘McGoven’s Revenge’ by Anderson A. Anderson  

Coco McGoven

was a pushin’ and a shovin’

in the queue for the loo

(which ‘the queue’ wasn’t lovin’)

so it weren’t surprising

when there was an uprising

and the queue pushed back

in a singular attack!

And Coco was ejected

he was down and rejected

BUT in fierce retaliation

he caused a mass sensation

as he pulled down his trousers

and the queue gasped ‘Yowsers!’

as he weed on them all

from the tallest to the small!

In confusion and disgust

all the queue began to rust

and his final parting shot

at this angry, sodden lot

was a revelation true -

that he didn’t need a poo!

This poem is bound to be shared in most boutiques up and down the land and scrawled in invisible ink on large billboards. My next journey into poetry is a much better piece - mainly because it’s not as long which has caused many to breath a sigh of relief after chugging through the last attempt:

The Double Booking - by Anderson A. Anderson

“What time’s the War?

Half past four!

Can we make it eight?

I’m going to be late!”

Short but oh-so-sweet! It won several awards in my own imagination and catapulted me into fame and fortune. And then I woke up. Sigh. But this next one is simply marvelous: 

 
The Self-Preservation Society - by Anderson A Anderson
“I am a fish with fingers,” said Fingers the fish.
“Don’t eat my hands with peas on a dish!”
Fin (Ha-Ha)
I must stop now as I have received 4 million complaints - all from my mother and several from myself. But before I go here’s another BOOKhut recommendation. It is of course ‘Silly Poems’ compiled by Paul Cookson. Packed with ridiculous riddles, loopy lists, tricky tongue twisters and nutty nonsense, it will tickle and inspire and become an instant favourite reading companion.
I am now off to write three more poems which I predict will be even worse than the three I have just written. Oh dear.
Speak soon BOOKhutters!

‘Peter Pan
Drove a van
Over Wendy
Now she’s bendy!’ - by Andrea Shavick from Silly Poems, compiled by Paul Cookson.
