Short Poems about Life

Some might argue that short poems about life is not a very helpful title. In essence, this is selection of Paul Curtis' short funny poems about family and domestic life, but omitting poems about love, death or sex, which are dealt with elsewhere.

I Need It Up, You Need It Down

She cook’s and cleans
And keep’s things neat
And with five in the house
That’s no mean feat
There’s just one question
Though that has me beat
Tell me why can she never
Work the toilet seat

Does My Bum Look Big In This?

Does my bum look big in this?
Well is the answer no or yes
Actually you have a big bum
So stop blaming it on the dress

Lucky Lotto

Despite winning twenty million pound
My feet are still firmly on the ground
So I am the same despite my good news
But I am wearing much better shoes

Display Caution

We keep a picture of Auntie Grace
On the shelf above the fire place
Health and safety is our only desire
As it keeps the kids away from the fire

A Thing Possessed

My video recorder is on the blink
The things possessed, I’m in no doubt
It records the programs I don’t like
And plays them back when I go out
