silly poems

(1)  Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,

     I‘m going outside to eat worms --

     Short fat juicy ones, long thin squooshy ones,

     See how they squiggle and squirm!

     Chop off the heads and suck out the juice

     And throw their skins away --

     Nobody knows how much I thrive

     On worms three times a day.

(2)  I eat my peas with honey --

    I‘ve done it all my life.

    It makes the peas taste funny,

    But it keeps them on my knife.

(3)  There was an old man of Darjeeling

    He travelled from London to Earling.

    It said on the door

    “Please don‘t spit on the floor”,

    So he carefully spat on the ceiling.
