Another nonsense poem!

May 25, 2026 Chris Hall39 Comments

Shall we smile?
but of course!
we’re happy
and almost always.

We’re like peas in a pot,
and we love buttercups,
so pretty!

We’re not off our heads,
since that’s rather rude.

We’re still happy,
because we’re pencils
what a lovely life we have!

This image shows a few yellow smiley face badges in green grass. Some of them are deliberately out of focus- giving an impression of a yellow aura to the smiles.

Just a bit mad…

a random photo

I’d been hanging on the ceiling
Not an easy task
Then I’d dropped down
And set to work.

I’d drawn a picture
Then I began to write
My handwriting was very squiggly
And I even wrote in the margin.

Culture? What’s culture?
Well, there’s pressure in my head
But that’s not a problem
You see, I’m actually an influencer.
