Stuff
it... I've decided... my December will mostly be about poetry!
So
- to get us started - I present my aforementioned 'Dr Seuss Tribute Poem'.
To
give you some context (which is always a bad idea when you're talking about a
poem) we were chatting at work about flowers and insects and all sorts of weird
stuff, and started realising how many words there are that rhyme with SPERM. And
so I started making up a story about a sperm that came from a worm, and it
spiralled from there. Someone said, "This reminds me of Dr. Seuss" and
my weird brain took that on as a challenge, and this is what I came up with:
FLERM
was a GERM
who
lived on a WORM
who
lived in the PERM
of
a large PACHYDERM
He
made the beast SQUIRM
when
he crawled on its BERM
and
when he shot SPERM
it
was really quite FIRM
At
school every TERM
you
would hear him say, ERM....
He
wasn't that bright!
So
he worked for a FIRM
making
THERm-al T-shirts
called
Flacket & FLERM
(Nepotism
is rife
in the world of the GERM.)
