Skimble's reaction to his mum's latest doggerel
By popular demand (well, er Rach actually), here's a special poem to commemorate the inaugural Fork 'n Monkey awards:
The talk's this week of Chelsea
And who has won the Gold,
Of simplicity & greenness
And planting oh so bold.
But Garden Monkey's been playing
Amongst his blogging pals,
With promised fame and glory
For all the guys & gals.
Thus was Fork 'n Monkey created
An award to beat 'em all,
Full of fun and mayhem
To keep us in his thrall.
So we cogitated & nominated
And added Comments too.
All the votes were counted,
Then all the winners knew:
So here's to Wilb & Esther
And Alex in his shed,
To Fuggles & to Patrick
And Frankie on her bed
To Monty we say "Get well soon"
And James - "Keep the writing flowin' ",
Cleve - "You've been currying favour"
And from me? Another bad poem ;)
Very good VP - I think it might be too good to be a bad poem!
ReplyDeleteLots of laughs
Karen
As a connoisseur of bad poems - I'd say this is a good example.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on another one VP!
Esther
P.S. I love the 'flowin'' and 'poem'!
Poems from the pottin' shed-Chippenham's very own answer to Pam Ayres! I'm still smiling at this one VP!
ReplyDeleteThere's Esther with her sidebar and now VP with a poem...
ReplyDeleteInadequate from Veg Plot x
It's a fabulous poem! Good work VP- Andrew Motion had better watch out!
ReplyDeleteRachel x
Tee hee. Next time I need a bad poem, I know where to turn.
ReplyDeleteHey--we could start another competition, like the Bad Hemingway competition. I think you win a trip to the running of the bulls for that one. What should we offer? A sickly plant in need of TLC?

A spectacular triumph: move over William McGonagall.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on this award: your pary invitation is accepted. I am rather asssuming that we are all soon to be invited to the Savoy for formal presentation. The GM will be invisible behind a giant screen - rather like the wizard in Wizard of Oz
Bravo! It's far better than I could ever do!
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend. xx
