John Carter Brown Poems

It's no fun when you're lacking in stature
When your body's deficient in height;
When your nickname is tiny, or shorty
Why, it keeps you awake half the night.
...

There once was a girl from Caerphilly
Who's clothes were all lacy and frilly;
They were poor insulation
It was no preparation
...

Apple pie and custard
Sitting on the table,
All I have to do is eat my meal
And I'll be able
...

My wife says I'm not romantic,
I don't suppose I am
I think I'm just an average bloke
Doing the best I can;
...

Why call them 'little children'
As we have from days of yore?
Surely better to say 'little adults'
No need to reduce them more.
...

There's really no such thing as 'proper' music
You either like a piece, or not;
The need for deep analysis is pointless
The end result of which would tell you what?
...

There once was a Dr Dalrymple
Who tried to keep everything simple;
With a touch of his 'scope
He gave everyone hope
...

As the draught blew in
Underneath the ragged-edged door, and
Gales raged outside,
Upturning the garden furniture,
...

An old fitness instructor named Mike
Went out one fine day for a hike;
But his legs felt like lead
Thus the poor fellow said,
...

Just another day
At the office, and
Not one single person actually
Used the copier
...
