Snake Oil

The Curious Elf is sat on the shelf
pushing its famous 'Snake Oil'.

The Cancer Food Mage is cooking with Sage,
And wrapping it in tin foil.

Combining the two,
He'll cure you,
just as easy as pie.

It's really quite cheap,
So just take the leap
With a good swig for your pain.

No need to be told
'Low and behold'
The Elf is triumphant again.

Things to be grateful for…

Things to be grateful for...

"The sun"
It warms your soul,
not sure if that's its goal?

The smile on a happy face,
It defines the human race.
A tear balanced upon my cheek, feels like it’s been there for a week.

A flower fresh in bloom, it will wither far too soon.

Nothing ever lasts for long, thankfully not even this song.

Pam Ayres

The Naughty Pixie has eaten Pam Ayers!
Thinking she was made of chocolate eclairs. 
But this simply isn’t true!
And there is every chance that she’ll sue!

He didn’t mean to cause offense, when he offered her 50 pence.
But her fury was plain to see,

Bow she’s is hiding in the money tree.

Tiny Tim

Open the box to see what’s in
I think you’ll find it’s Tiny Tim.
“God bless us,
One and all”
A lovely thought, from one so small.

Out of sight
And out of mind
Why should we have to be so kind?

To feel compassion and empathy
Is not for Pixie and his tree!
It’s meant for Tim, and Tim alone
So watch the Lark, sat on his throne.

A spiteful lunge he will make

And the crutch it will break.

A Dangersouly Clever Man

A clever man on the other side of the universe
Has uncovered a deep and worrying curse
He crunched the numbers and pulled the levers
Choosing to ignore the Divas

They crowed, they bleated
He must surely must be defeated
For the result he found, in his log
Was the Universe is simply fog

And now he believes
We don’t exist
Wouldn’t that be an awful twist
If he is right what should we do,
The answer to this I will leave to you!
