A four line poem

vanpirequeen has got it right
We must have confidence
Our talents really are not slight
Accept those compliments!

Thank you Vampire Queen
For granted us such favours
Sadly in my case
I recommend Spec Savers

Our grandads are so handsome
Our grandmas are so pretty
And I am really glad to say
We're all immensely witty.

Right! Enough of being serious and wise,
And having the wool pulled over my eyes.
I'm going to be silly and drink lots of wine;
And think of mending this old hip of mine.

Click on the mouse if you dare!

Open your mind, your soul you can bare

Get ready for the friends you haven't yet met

Swing open the door come into, " GransNet "

Oh poor little children
No yard in which to play
Only classrooms springing up
To take the fun away.

or Oh even

O now look I'm back again
I said I wouldn't do it
I made a resolution
And then I went and blew it

Cameron thinks we all came down
In the latest shower,
But if he came here to our town,
I`d knock him off his tower.

Well, I`d like to, anyway!

Cameron refuses to debate
Is he just a coward?
Or is he really worried
He come across like Michael Howard?

Yes, littleflo, I do agree
I couldn't put it better
She captured all the little gripes
and is the new trend setter!

(Sorry VQ, referring to you as 'she' but Vampire queen didn't scan!!)

Oh Vampire Queen
When all is said
You've hit the nail
Right on the head

From the MiL of a teacher

Brilliant Vampirequeen - and, sadly, too true

Queen of poems, vampirequeen

Sorry more that four lines but one poem led into the next and became verses instead.

We're going to have a shortage
Of school places for our kids
Could this be cos free schools
Were allowed to put in bids

To put in for their funding?
It really wasn't hard
But now it seems that classrooms
Will be put up in the yards.

"It didn't hurt us," people say
"It really wasn't that bad,"
But don't we want our children
To have more chances than we had.

They have to learn far more than us
And quicker than us too
We can't just cram and cram them in
What are the schools to do?

The schools will try to help the kids
To learn all that they can
But when they fail their SATS
The sh*t will hit the fan.

The teachers will of course be blamed
For all this lack of learning
Well really all the children need
Is the space that they are yearning.

Children need room to move
And time to stand and gaze
Cramming them together
Is like lab rats in a maze.

They'll run around in circles
Get angry with each other
And lets be honest they can't all
Be contestants on Big Brother.

So we have a clean slate,
No fence, no donkey poo
So the next four line verse
Is strictly down to YOU!

The wind is blowing up a gale
And giving the fence a battering
Now the rain has turned to hail
And wheelie bin lids are clattering

We have got no fence at all
No dyke, no hedge, no garden wall
No donkey either, lord be praised
Or we'd soon get something raised.

Phew, we've got it clear then,
We had a dicky fence
But no donkey lives next door
He's got more bluuudy sense!

Oh dear he sounds so greedy
Not one of the group.
It wouldn't be too hard for him
To eat and then to poop

'Twas me with foresaid creature
Who lives just over fence
Whose greed is such a feature
But sadly has little sense

He loves to be fed plenty
Carrots, apples, pears
His tummy's never empty
MY plants are in his stare

He really isn't fussy
Veg, flowers, climbers, shrub
So just why doesn't he help me
By pooing in a tub?

I really wouldn't mind it
Browsing all the weeds
And leaving piles of fresh s..t
To nourish my growing seeds!

Oh dear, there is confusion
We've clearly lost the plot
Who is it has the donkey
That likes to watch their spot?

Wildlife can be such a faff
With all the things they do
It's sometimes gives us quite a laff
And causes a hullabaloo.

They'd munch on all your lettuce
And all your flowers too
They'd get a cabbage fettish
Use flowerbeds for their loo
