A reading of a comic poem. Author unknown.
I SOMETIMES THINK
I sometimes think I’d rather crow
And be a rooster than to roost
And be a crow. But I dunno.
A rooster he can roost also,
Which don’t seem fair when crows can’t crow.
Which may help some. Still I dunno.
Crows should be glad of one thing, [...]

This is a reading of the poem “The Marrog” by R.C. Scriven
EXACTLY as it appears in the Kaye Webb-edited
“I Like This Poem”.
I have since found a variant version,
on the intyweb, that includes some excised rhymes.
I hope they were not stripped just to make the text fit.
That’s like Cinderella’s sisters hacking off [...]

Reading of Spike Milligan’s comic poem “Silly Old Baboon”.

Strapped to his arms,
He started his take-off run.
Mile after mile
He galloped in style
But never once left the ground.
“You’re running too slow”
Said a passing crow,
“Try reaching the [...]

A reading of A.A. Milne (creator of “Winnie the Pooh)’s poem
“Lines and Squares”
from the 1924 collection “
When We Were Very Young”.
Whenever I walk in a London street,
I’m ever so careful to watch my feet;
And I keep in the squares,
And the masses of bears,
Who wait at the corners all ready to eat
The [...]

There once was a car-thief from Leicester
Who stole, on parole, a Fiesta
If you’re going to steal
Stay AWAKE at the wheel
Don’t fall prey to impromptu siesta

He’s fit as a fiddle,
He’s fit as a flea,
He’s 85,000 times fitter than me,
He knows every muscle,
Each vein and corpuscle,
Is pulling TOGETHER
To gather the prize :
A shiney medallion,
That dazzles the eyes,
This sleek, swarthy stallion,
Will bare recognise,
From his podium-placing,
The pain I am facing,
Debasing !
I’m chasing not catching my breath.
Have I bungs in my lungs
