Neil McGreevy Poems

We were drifting at sea, just the dinghy and me
and the weather had so far been grand
when out of the clouds came a rumble so loud
that I buried my face in my hands
...

I remember when I was three
My father took me to see the sea
We played in the sand with bucket and spade
And dined on popcorn and lemonade
...

I shot an arrow into the air
it landed on the garden chair
unfortunately for the cat
that's where he sleeps
...

Here is an acronym wot I wrote
that has to do with science
it helps you mend machines and things
and the odd household appliance
...

I once sat down to draw a graph
of how the height of one giraffe
divided by a pink balloon
could stop us landing on the moon
...

If I had a pet hippopotomus, I'd teach him to sit and to bark,
I'd feed him on popcorn and weetabix, and take him for walks in the park
I'd make him a bed in the sitting room, and get him some toys of his own
...

Springtime, pantomime
shift the grime, rid the slime
Half-time is playtime
grab a coke, have a smoke
...

You may think it's strange
but just for a change
the mat went and sat on the cat,
the moon jumped over the cow,
...

Does your ping go pong when you sing a silly song
Do your flip flops flap along the floor
Does your clackety clack when you try to scratch your back
Because your jingle doesn't jangle any more
...

A friend asked me to build a fence
for quite a handsome recompense
and though I had once built a wall
it wasn't quite the same at all
...
