I promised no more depressing poetry for the remainder of the year and being silly season, pulled out this little ditty written earlier in the year. Completly at odds with most of the poems I've presented throughout the year, I hope you've enjoyed them all regardless.

 

 

A better reign Sport

  

I tied me Kangaroo down

According to Protocol

But he was sporty

And prone to serve his nature.

 

I sat back and washed my cuts

Waiting for inspiration to strike

But all I got was a kick to the head

That roo had returned

And he was a boxer

Such was his nature.

 

My Mrs liked a larrikin tune of old

But not an old larrikin

And she washed her hands of me

Though hers were already clean

And I was left with my lacerations.

 

Bloody and alone

Staring at the palms

Whose creases had been there since birth

Yet could not tell my future

Or I would have used a better rope

On that roo

And a better reign on that woman.

 

 

 

Though she was more storm than rain

And I’ve been through enough downpours already

To care about harnessing burdens

Animal, human or otherwise.

I roo the day

So I try hard to forget

That I’m trying to forget.

 

That shit can send you hopping mad.

 

 

 

All previous poetry.

 

Good luck with your Christmas prep.

Until next time.
