My pockets!!!
\nby cricketjeff on July 4, 2008.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nSome verses by my favourites that make me laugh or sigh
\nA pocket watch so I can tell the time
\nA flashing badge, and message board to prove that I’m not shy
\nA silver dollar and a lucky dime
\nMy wallet has my credit cards, more poems and some cash
\nA picture of my kids, a book of stamps
\nAnd with it are two penknives, bunch of keys, another flash
\nAnd batteries that should be in some lamps<\/p>\n
My Oystercard, for buses, five quid note and Meggazones
\nA card that lists phone-numbers I should know
\nSame magnets, and a buzzing thing, a pair of mobile phones
\nSome seeds I thought my wife might like to grow
\nThere’s tissues for my hay fever and specs so I can see
\nI’m really not too sure what this is called
\nA screwdriver, a handy tool, all things so dear to me
\nAnd so much more you all would be appalled<\/p>\n
My pockets are extensions of my rather cluttered mind
\nAnd I fill them up with things I like to hold
\nIf you’ve a gadget that you’ve lost, I bet that I can find
\nAnother like it in the deepest fold
\nSo I rattle rather noisily and bulge around my hips
\nWith things that I should really throw away
\nBut if I see something that I like then into there it slips
\nSo I’ve always got some things with which to play!<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nMeggazones are cough sweets that taste revolting and work. I haven’t mentioned
\nthe other wallet, pens, laser pointer, toys to give to passing kids and pretty
\nladies, a book and any number of other things …<\/p>\n
An Oystercard is a prepayment card for using transport in London, rather like
\nelectronic cash that doesn’t really work and a “quid” is a British pound a five
\nquid note is about ten dollars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
