The Not-So-Friendly Ghost
(To be sung to the original theme tune from Casper the Friendly Ghost…) Oh look, another ghost, Has taken off in the night. Things all seemed great, He’d enjoyed our date, Then disappeared out of sight. He said he liked my eyes, And was really glad to meet me, But they must have both been … Continue reading
Oh Christmas Tree…
Oh Christmas tree oh Christmas tree, You are a strange tradition. All year you stand there nakedly, Not changing your position. But when December rolls around You’re finally invited Inside our homes – where you are crowned, Adorned in balls and lighted. The problem is, oh Christmas tree, This makeover causes me stress As while … Continue reading

To My Dear Prince Harry

You’ve always been, by far, my favourite ginge, (Although at times your actions make me cringe) But now that even Sheeran is engaged, … Continue reading
She Walks in Beauty
She walks in beauty, like the day Of pastel hues and balmy wind; But I have heard some people say That naturally she’s not soft-skinned; And ‘cause she wants to #hashtag “slay”, Countless selfies she’s already binned. One eyelash more, one blemish less, She photoshops and smooths her face, Thankful her hair is not a … Continue reading
The Bird and the Pussy-Cat
The Bird and the Pussycat’s bright eyes met Through the towering pane of glass. Bird knew it was wrong, to pursue this love-song, But he thought he was pretty bad-ass.
