VICTORIA GEORGE Poems

I bid on a beautiful ring
With a very hefty price tag
But got outbid on this thing
So I bid on a Prada hand-bag
...

Housework’s such a waste of time
Cleaning all that filth and grime
You scrape and wipe the filthy glass
You shine and polish all the brass
...

We’ve all been given a name
Which some of us really don’t like
Our parents are so much to blame
I think some of them do it for spite
...

Multi task’s a thing for gals
It’s not a thing for males
We can talk to all our pals
While painting finger nails
...

One day Pooh Bear said to Tigger
Why don’t we open an account on eBay?
Our funds will soon get much bigger
And we’ll have hunney to eat every day
...

I once wrote to a literary agent
Saying I wrote some good po-et-ry
I said I wanted his comment
Could his give his advice for this free?
...

I decided to buy some cheap flights
From a cheap on-line travel shop
I wanted to see all the sights
In Bangladesh and in Bangkok
...

I was reading the paper today
A bit about home remed-ies
I’d make some to sell on e-Bay
After all, how hard could it be?
...

I opened an eBay address
In my dog’s name, smellyoldbess
She sold quite a lot - of tatty old grot
To buyers who want something for less.
...

My mother had a lovely war
Best time of her life
The months and days of ‘44
‘fore she became a wife
...
