The Jungle Tea Party

The mad hatter is coming to tea
He wants heart shaped buns and a camomile tea cosy
The food should be right and the music lousy
What else can you expect from gibbons with violins

The fat cats just sit in the sun and grin from ear to ear
They give not a care and show no fear
High up on the wall, a row of righteous tails sway
Purrs permeate the haze of a lazy day

Upside down hares sit at upside down tables
Cheeky monkeys are swinging from the gables
Snakes use drainpipes for their ladders
Venomous vipers and huge puffed up adders

Caterpillars still, but legs in motion
Hippos wallow in a mud bath lotion
Cheetah after chase, he stops and pants
Burn him at stake! Yell the fire ants

King of the jungle, roars with delight
Mrs black widow, shuns the daylight
A complicated web of fibs and deceit
Yet they all sing along to the jungle beat

And now for tea.

thats funny

i hope its supposed to be funny

It certainly is Thank you

I wrote this when i was 14, i had a strange experience at a friends birthday party. Involving a girl, a room full of snakes and a broken door handle! Weird i know, but funny

Actually that would probably have a very good chance of being published for childrens poetry books, I can just imagine the pics of the animals doing all those things accompanying the poem

I was asked once to do postcard stuff, and poetry for children, but just never followed it up. I lost touch with my English teacher and that was that

That was fun to read, very good

I had a smile on my face reading that Tiger a nice touch if i say so myself

Thanks, that's very kind

Its mildly better than the usual crap i write

what may seem crap to some is Gold to others Van Gough's paintings were deemed crap to many,they are Gold Dust now tho all in the eye of the beholder its said.
