John Carter Brown

Victory in Europe
Fifty years ago;
To some it doesn't mean a thing,
It happened long ago.
...

Jazz is just about the
Only type of music that
Holds no great interest for me.
Neither do I
...

I wish I was a wise man
And all the answers knew,
The solver of all problems
With perfect point of view;
...

Acrostics can be
Constructed in a complex way, but
Really there's no need.
'Ordinary', or just
...

I've noticed, again, a small hole in my sock
And there's something I don't understand:
It puzzles me greatly, I'm baffled, and so
On this subject I now should expand.
...

Oh vitamin B, how I've missed you,
My body has long been bereft
Of your strange but miraculous power
To keep a man healthy and blessed.
...

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Today you're eleven
That's nine add on two.
...

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

I'm addicted to Liquorice Allsorts
That sugary gem of a sweet, and
Unless I take serious hold of myself
The whole of the pack I will eat.
...

Melting snow reveals an
Altogether more familiar vista, as
Rain washes away the last of the freeze;
Cold days begin to lengthen slowly, then
...

Blue blue skies, as
Lovely as they be, cannot
Upstage the beauty of the
Eyes you turn to me.
...

Pretty as a picture
In her brand new summer dress;
Not that she is interested,
Kids love to make a mess.
...

I hate it when I sneeze, these days,
It lifts my fringe, my curls, my greys;
It blasts my ears and rattles my head,
But at least it gets me out of bed.
...

A little friend came to visit one day
And I said, 'Fancy that! '
He said his name was Stanley,
I said, 'How come you're flat? '
...

I used to know a fellow in the farming trade,
You could always tell his chickens
By the eggs they laid;
They were small like him
...

The Anglo-Saxon idiom
Is a tax upon the brain
I mean, just what have cats and dogs
To do with heavy rain?
...

December again, and
Every child is looking forward to
Christmas, and the presents yet to come;
Easter is well in the past, and the
...

Thursday - or Thor's day, if we
Have to be correct about it, is an
Unusual name for just a
Regular day of the week; the
...

Friday always makes me smile, I
Really love this time of the week, and
If asked to choose which, of all
Days, is my favourite, my
...

One, the first
Number of them all.
Everyone knows this.
