Plain English Poem by Joe Hughes
Plain English
Is there cotton in materialism?
Did the Iron Curtain rust away?
Can you kick your ball
Across Hadrian's Wall?
Can you eat the Milky Way?
Must I cry on the Mourne Mountains?
Feel happy when I hit my Funny Bone?
Will my Midriff Spread
Keep me warm in bed?
Can I hear my Muscle Tone?
Can you play a tune
On Musical Chairs?
Are French Letters sent from France?
Will we all have a jolly good party
When you lead me a Song and Dance?
Will I learn to speak Plain English?
With no strange phrases and such.
Will I mean what I say?
With my words - just don't play,
Is it all just so much Double Dutch?
This is a light-hearted inquiry into the paradoxes of metaphor - but, let's face it, where would we poets be without them? Clever piece. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Nice one Joe. I wrote one in a similar vein. Can't remember what I called it though... the grey cells are fast diminishing (ha ha)
