i like it!! did you write that griffin?here's another one in the same sort of idea...language warning (even tho i did kinda censor it!!)
'the age old debate'
teenage angst
who the hell thought that one up?
'we don't know why they do what they do
let's call it teenage angst'
sure as
wasn't a teenager'it's called growing up you dumbf**k
get it through your head!'
apparently we all go through it
'what?! there's nothing wrong!
i'm just having a bad day!'
the parents get all shitty
'why don't you talk to me anymore?
we used to be so close!'
(used to be is the prominent phrase)
'well f**k off i don't want to talk'
what do you know?
it all comes down to that word again
'oh they must be going through
what is it? oh yeah - teenage angst'
but there's a protest from the gallery
'you bunch of old farts
teenage angst is a f**king middle age myth'
so it's not an actual condition
'oh they're having a very bad day
maybe it's best if we leave them alone'
finally the message gets through
'it took the old gits long enough
when will they f**king learn?'
never
that's the joy of parenthood!

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potato's.

"I like eels,
Except as meals,
And the way they feels,
They make squeals."
I wish I could remember the original author...
Dance like it hurts; Love like you need money; Work like someone is watching.
Never criticize someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you DO criticize them, you are a mile away, and you have their shoes.

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

ooo, I like silly poems...
Billy in one of his nice new sashes,
fell in the fire and was burnt to ashes.
And now, although the room grows chilly,
I haven't the heart to poke poor Billy.
-Harry Graham
I've never seen a purple cow,
I never hope to see one.
But I can tell you anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one!
-Gelett Burgess
I think that I shall never see
a billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the bilboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all

"i saw a little fairy once,
down where the willows blow.
i asked him why he was so small
and why he didn't grow.
he stared at me, and with his eyes
he looked me through and through.
'i just as big for me!' said he,
'as you are big for you!'"
i can't remember the author, but i read that when i was younger and have remembered it every since.
I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

I wish I were a grapefruit
And here's the reason why:
When you went to eat me,
I would squirt you in the eye.

I wrote this poem when I was about 7 for the school magazine.
I thought it was a masterpiece at the time lol
My name is Tess
My rooms a mess
my mum says clean it up
But I don't listen to her
I do what I prefer
My leg has a joint
But thats beside the point
And my room is still a mess!
and still..;) Live, love, laugh and dance!

May I chip in? Here are two things i jotted down quickly a few nights back, the dots seperate the 2 poems:
.....
.....
.....
Summer time meadows,
A flower filled emporium of joy.
Absolute happiness, purity and good in each petal.
An army of bees humming their sonf in fields of daisy's
whilst dashing madly through the perfume scented air,
everything is perfect,
death goes unnoticed.
Mary lie
unmoving in the sun,
incapable of breathing the wondrous aroma,
life parted from her.
Her rosy cheeks now pale like white carnations,
flowers tainted red around her lifeless form.
Yet only one person knows,
silence following their invisible form,
A hand touches your shoulder.
.....
.....
.....
Creeping amongst shadows,
darkness has fallen,
he is here,
one moment in time,
a fraction of a second,
all my fears summed up in the drop of a pin.
Silence gliding along a blade,
the tightly gripped handle
the possesion of a killer,
a passion for death.
My flesh parts,
My life,
Gone.
No room for the dead amongst the living.
I am forgotten
.....
.....
.....
After re-reading these, I am now profoundly disturbed by them lol.

I have always loved the Spike Milligan poem:-
My Sister Laura's bigger than me
She lifts me up quite easily
I can't lift her I've tried and tried
She must have something heavy inside
Feed me Chocolate!!! Feed me NOW!

Some of my favorites from a great book of kids poems called "The New Kid on the Block"
You need to have an iron rear
To sit upon a cactus
Or otherwise at least a year
Of very painful practice
---------
A cow's outside is mainly hide,
Undoubtedly this leather
Retains a cow's insides inside
And holds a cow together
--------
My baby brother is so small
He hasn't even learned to crawl.
He's only been around a week
And all he seems to do is bawl
and wiggle, sleep... and leak.
--------
I'm bold, I'm brave, I know no fear
I'm gallant as a buccaneer
Is that a hornet by my ear?
Gangway! I'm getting out of here!
Oh, that was a great book. I can't believe I still own it.
"Happiness is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth."

Once there was a bee
As busy as BB can be
When affected by
Sunny laziness.....
As you may think,
It being not easy
The blue world’s bee
Beebadeloolaped and flee.
As you believe
Or bewildered become
She found a friend in a stinging
Bicolour-striped fringe
Flowing in the wind.
made that up one day
I don't know if it actually means anything to anyone but I kinda like it
