Just For You Poetry

A group of animals approached me

"Good evening Mr Sheep" said I
"How much is your wool"
He thought for a moment and replied
"It's not worth it mate. It's only twenty
seven pence for a whole sheep load. It
must be complete rubbish. I wouldn't
want to 'fleece' you"

I turned to the Hen, said I
"Good evening Mrs Hen. How much
are your eggs".
She thought for a moment and said
"One pound a dozen mate, and I'm
not 'yolking'. They must be rubbish"

I turned to the Cow. said I
"Good evening Mrs Cow. How much
is your milk"
She thought for a moment and said
"Forty pence a litre mate, and that's
'whey' too cheap. It must be rubbish"

"Why is everything so cheap" said I

"This is 'Once Great Britain'" they replied
"The Land of Milk and subsidy"

I love the humour here Steven that actually covers up the reality of "Once Great Britain"

Always entertaining.. thank you so much

Another great parady.You have a vivid imagination.Sad,biting,serious yet funny.Not the land of milk and honey, anymore-well penned

Interesting

A compelling and most amusing read with the sheep, hen and cow all playing their appropriate parts. Like Seema I find it interesting too and I love how the title is repeated in the closing line to emphasize your powerful message Steven.

Another gresat write and so funny saying much about the state of our now poor country. Which is actually very rich but don't
spread it around we're over crowded as it is - lol

The Dr Doolittle of satire! Good to be back on this site and seeing your work, old friend. My new years resolution is to get back into my poetry after a very long hiatus, oh and catch up and read the poems of long time friends.
