I tried to toss a pancake once,
But found it quite impossible.
Now, maybe I am just a dunce,
But IS a pancake tossable?

Well, it was nice, after a difficult day, to come home from work last week and find that the poetry book I won had arrived. #poetry Thank you, Children’s Literature Festivals and @colinwest.bsky.social. Don’t Look in the Mirror, Maud has made me laugh for days.

@punchbooks.bsky.social Currently on sale on ebay. It is of course, an original Sprod! Do you think maybe from one of those one-man double spreads?

When Noah crammed the final beast
Into his ark to ferry ‘em
To higher ground, he sighed, “At least
No need for an aquarium.”
I submitted this poem some time ago for a space anthology. It didn’t make the cut, but I thought I’d illustrate some of the verses anyway. Sorry for the wonky type, just a rough paste-up!

It struck me that this drawing would be right for the Ogden Nash rhyme 😊

I buzzed my own buzzer, I wanted to know
Who lived in a flat just like my one, and so
I answered my buzzer when I heard it buzz,
And found out the sort of a person who does.
A little more Nonsense …

There once was a girl, namely Goldilocks,
Who couldn’t unlock some old moldilocks,
For Daddy Bear’s door
Has padlocks galore,
Which every night I am toldilocks.
Versifying for Marc Chagall …

I wandered lonely as a cloud,
Just like old Willie Wordsworth,
And saw some golden daffodillies
Though not so numerous as Willie’s,
But maybe just a third’s worth.
Some Nonsense for the weekend …
