U
What
is that unidentified thing
Lurking
under your umbrella
Which
you have used rather a lot lately
In
this unusually inclement weather
Did
it utter an unearthly noise?
Something
I did not understand
And
is that an indescribable claw
Or
some sort of diabolical cursed hand
And
why have you brought it into this place
With
its slightly disturbing Undulating face
Hiding
it under your black umbrella
Hoping
we would not notice
Because
of all that unusually inclement weather
But
who could detract attention
From
such a utilitarian device as an umbrella
Particularly
bearing in mind
The
unusually inclement weather
And
as we unearth the beast from under your umbrella
We
discover upon its head a large pointy horn
I
think therefore we can tell that this
Unidentified
hideous Beast
Is
in fact a Unicorn.
Now why is that unicorn hiding under an umbrella. Aren't they supposed to expel rainbows? Maybe it's just shy.
ReplyDeleteI think Unicorns have good publicists they are terrible beasts who will bite your hand off just for fun. Then look all innocent when someone turns up to help, claiming it was a Zombie Humming Bird with a chainsaw. Creating those rainbows as a distraction.
DeleteI'm not sure why 'undulating face,' made me laugh. And aren't Unicorns meant to poop rainbows? Maybe it something to do with all the unusually inclement weather we've been having lately.
ReplyDeleteAh yes the undulating face was all the fault of the poetry. You see the words have about two seconds to form in my head and then I have about thirty seconds to write then down or they are forgotten forever. There is no honing, editing or carefully crafting my work here, it is all done by some strange old Red Indian guide in the afterlife and it sort of arrives out the ends of my fingers. Only Red Indian guides are rubbish at typing so its all his fault. It is rare indeed to have any clue as to what I plan to write when I start writing. Even this reply to your excellent comment Miss Lily is a total Mystery and I will need to go and read it to make sure it makes some sort of sense.
DeleteIt seems it sort of does PHEW
