Shillings

Posted by Skunk on June 19, 2009 - 07:40

If I had a shilling
for every shilling I haven't got,
I'd have enough to buy the sun.

I'd keep it in the cupboard
under the stairs, which is
gloomy at the best of times.

I'd have enough to get
therapy for my cupboard
so it's cheerful at the worst of times.

I'd have enough to hire a
competent poet to finish this.
