POEMS BY AUSSIEJOHN



WORDS FOR AUGUST



"Icy"

My Girl works at the ice rink

but doesn't let cold faze her.

Whenever she is feeling chilly

She puts on her Blazer.


****************************************


"Wasting time "

If you'd like to waste some time,

then here's a way you can.

Tell a few hair raising stories

to a balding man


****************************************


"Shaggy dog Tail"

We called our dog "Concord"

'cos from the air lines

We've a letter.

That clearly states

their Stand-by rates

apply to our jet setter.


****************************************


"Boom"

A grenade on a kitchen floor

in france, I'm sure would start

explosive action leading to

Linoleum Blownapart"


****************************************


"Budjet"

If you can't pay your income tax

and there's no way to fudge it,

The reason you feel stuck with debt

is that you cannot budge it.


****************************************


"Locket"

I'm told I have a fatal flaw

an idiosyncrasy.

I'm often breaking into song

when I can't find the key.


****************************************


"Possesions"

Here's a statement

from the church most people wont contest,

If you dont pay your exorcist

then you'll be repossessed.


****************************************


"Members"

There's a sign on local church

that cuts you down to size.

"Members only in this place

Trespassers are baptized".


****************************************


" Unity "

In unity there seems to be

some things that are required.

A bicycle can't stand alone

because it is two-tyred .


****************************************


"Address '

Most women are quite lucky,

It's a fact of life I guess.

With every marriage they obtain

A new name and a dress.


****************************************


"Xmas"

There is a place that offers,

tranquility and such.

Pray inside a church today.

avoid the Christmas rush.


****************************************


"Way to go"

How will you spend eternity

and will you still rejoice?

Smoking or non smoking

appears to be the choice.


****************************************


"Willing"

In legal terminology

I think its safe to say

the defininition of a will

"It's a dead giveaway"


****************************************


"Nameless"

Viking sails his ship back home

and finds his name has gone.

His wife goes to the local mayor

and says "What's going on?"

Mayor apologises

then has the hide to say

"I must have taken Leif

Off my census yesterday".


****************************************


"Telling"

William Tell & family played

a good game of lawn bowls.

But all of the league records

were destroyed in days of old.

And even though the legend lives

It's true, or so we're told

we will never know for sure

"For whom the Tells bowled"
