Simon Gowen Poems

I’m a feisty little red head.
I’m a mother and a wife.
I am clever and outrageous
I lead an interesting life.
...

I’m in trouble with my parents
It happens all the time
I’ve been watching “Tim” on Bargain Hunt
He helped me in my crime!
...

I lost a friend of mine today
They put him in a box
I spun it round 3 times onstage
Now all we’ve found is socks!
...

I took a walk into the woods
I needed inspiration
When I heard a voice say
“Scuse me sir” I turned in hesitation
...

Its Christmas time at our house,
We've got presents round the tree.
There's some there for my brothers,
And there's one or two for me.
...

There's something lurking in my room
It hides beneath my bed
I called my dad to come and help
But he just laughs instead
...

When I was just a simple boy
I simply had no clue
Of how to get a girlfriend
Or with her what to do
...

As I awoke this morning
On a pillow filled with feather
I dreamt I'd won myself a date
With the girl who reads the weather
...

She's the girl from Billericay
With the warm and gripping voice
If I had to pick a singer
Without fail she'd be my choice
...

A mountain I must conquer
Why? Because it's there
No more TV for a while
No slouching in the chair
...
