‘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…

The Scary Rabbit
Your rabbit is white and hairy,
And he’s ever so slightly scary.
He sleeps all day,
On a bed of hay,
But at night, I’m extremely wary!

Panic in the Aisles
Covid-19 is sapping our hope.
In the future, how will we all cope?
Was it the worst of mistakes,
To panic-buy Jaffa cakes,
When I really need toilet rolls and soap?

Fur Bikini
There’s a seal out there in a fur bikini,
Eating a fish and drinking a Martini.
Shaken Not Stirred,
Or so I’ve heard,
So more like James Bond than The Sweeney.
