John Carter Brown Poems

Yesterday was a very frustrating day:
Every time I tried to
Lever or twist, say a
Lid off a jar, I failed - it's not right.
...

Music is a mysterious, and
Unique entity. It has the
Sublime ability to exist almost
Independently, yet never rejects the
...

Eight legs on every octopus
In the sea...
Good grief!
How many legs altogether does
...

No pen - no paper
No ink - no writing
No reading - no thinking
No trying - no learning
...

Is there anything at all that's new on Facebook?
I've not been on for, Oh at least ten sec's;
Please let me know the latest if you will, 'cos
I think I've gone and lost my flamin' spec's.
...

Interrogative intonation
Drives me up the wall,
Apart from valid questioning
It shouldn't be used at all;

Think of a number, from 1 to 10
(Haven't played this since you know when)
Double it, add..? No, start again.

There was a young man from Montrose
Who counted by fingers and toes;
But try as he may
He miscounted one day
...

There was a strange man from Tibet
Who had an unusual pet;
It's front was dog
It's back was a frog
...

One day I decided to bake me a cake,
To fulfil an ambition I had.
I had all the things I would need on a tray
And the recipe wrote on a pad.
