A man by the name of Joe Bambridge
Whose arm was slung up in a bandage
Went shopping to choose
A pair of black shoes,
Then slipped on a mouldy prawn sandwich!
A lad who was known as MacHughes
Was having a fit of the blues;
And all this because
A prawn sandwich it was
That he dropped on his shiny black shoes.
Now Jamie's a cute little tot
Whose mischief goes over the top;
He opened the bin
A prawn sandwich was in
And stuffed Dad's black shoes with the lot!
I watched a man reading the news
On the telly, and he wore black shoes;
He bought a prawn sandwich
From a take-away van which
Had lights flashing out in bright hues.
The Pub, of real ale is the source;
It's cosy and called The White Horse;
My black shoes i'll wear,
And I'll do up my hair;
For tea? - A prawn sandwich of course!

I can almost hear you saying, "Boom boom" at the end of each one. Good bit of fun.

Thank you all for your comments, fellow poets. I thought of this while I was washing up (something poets shouldn't have to do)
