Someone has to be it
Better than the rest
Someone has to provide
The others with a test
When you’re on top
Feet off the ground
There’s only one place to go
And that’s down
Month: January 1986
Chocolate – 30th January 1986
Chocolate bar
In your car
Red hot sun
Chocolate run
Gooey mess
On your dress
All the way down
Sticky and brown
The moral of the story is
If you’ve ever felt
Your chocolate melt
Don’t leave them in cars
Or you’ll have a messy Mars
The Record Player – 27th January 1986
The record player won’t play my records
The needle jumps all the way through
I haven’t got a record that will play
I don’t know what I can do
I solved the problem
No sour grapes
Cos I’ve started using
Cassette tapes
Crushed Grapes – 26th January 1986
Crushed grapes
You made me whine
I’ll have a drink
At any time
My face is wrinkled
Yellow as a banana
I’m a crushed grape
Call me Sultana
Runner Up – 25th January 1986
Second best
In every test
Never won
Had no fun
The runner up
Is what you’ve become
Second best
Runner up to the rest
Man With A Hat – 17th January 1986
Walked calmly onto the scene
No one knew where he’d been
He said you shouldn’t do that
He was the man with a hat
Nothing could amuse him
He let people peruse him
He did everything he could
Just like a man with a hat should
Afternoons – 15th January 1986
Play tennis in the backyard
Jump about like your kids
Ride around your bicycle
Showing off with skids
Evening comes
Darkness falls
You put away
Your tennis balls
Bedtime beckoning
As the morning looms
Another day
In afternoons
