Guest Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) It's not very good but it was inspired by something I said to poachedegg and I just knocked it out in a few minutes, hope it makes you smile! I'd better get on with some housework! I’m cultivating cobwebs Collecting lint and dust Only doing housework When I absolutely must You see I have a reason For this excess of refuse It’s not a very valid one Just some fowl excuse There are chickens in my garden I got them just to lay Now I find I’m captivated Just watching them all day!!!! So fair warning if you’re pondering And trying to bribe the spouse You may find yourself on telly On ‘How Clean is Your House?”! **edit** slight edit to first line of poem **edit** edited verse 2 **edit** to say I've edited it! **edit** to verse 3 editing, the poets' curse!

Guest Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 thanks I can see where it needs editing already, like removing the word 'slowly' form the first line and verse 3 doesn't scan as I would like but hey, it was just for fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milly Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I think this could be called the Song of the Omleteers Chickens are more intersting than housework any day (actually, anything is more interesting than housework!) Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faye&Ant Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Fab poem - glad to know its not just me. They are such a good excuse to get out of the boring house chores.

Keanie Bean Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Great poem poet. It's that omlet effect at work again I think. I managed to get the kitchen done today, but it has just made everywhere else look disgraceful Sarah.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
