Tennis in Eastbourne is a family affair,
At which nobody knows quite what to wear.
Cold, windy or warm?
Or, perhaps, a thunderstorm,
Leaving everyone present with wet frizzy hair…

The Hovercraft Incident
Walking near St Margaret’s Bay,
A hovercraft nigh blew us away.
Its giant fans and skirt,
Then spewed up soggy dirt,
And soaked us all in muddy spray!

Bills Win!
Alexa said Buffalo beat the Packers,
So I left to party with the Bills Backers!
But then you called to say,
It wasn’t actually Green Bay?
Just the workmates of the Costco Stackers…

The Ferry
Just as the ferry set sail,
I decided I’d rather go by rail.
So I stole a Ford,
Then drove overboard,
And ended up going straight to jail!

Mustard Cove
The fine folk of Mustard Cove,
Didn’t much care for Mr Gove.
When he came to stay,
They closed off their bay,
And cooked him on a giant stove!

Bathroom Cricket
‘Cricket in the bathroom!’ I hear you say,
So I grab my bat and prepare for play.
But there’s no wicket,
Just a wee bush-cricket,
Who takes one look at me and hops away…

A No-Nonsense Cat
There once lived a cat called Foss,
Who was clearly the Lear household boss.
When his food ran out,
And Ed wasn’t about,
That runcible cat became very cross!

The Tennis Court
The tennis court was cold and wet,
So we couldn’t even play one set.
Love-all forever,
In horrendous weather,
But, at least no-one noticed, I’d sold our net!

New Lycra
Cycling in brand new Lycra,
You overtook a Hairy Biker.
Having a blast,
Going so fast,
Until blocked by a Nissan Micra…

A Bat, my Cat and a Rat
I accidentally disturbed a bat,
Who flew away and scared my cat.
It’s such a shame,
But I guess I’m to blame,
That my upset kitty then brought me a rat…
