I found an old exercise book from my university days while clearing my little box room/ study today.

Entomology

A centipede with a c

has a hundred legs

A sentipede with an s

smells of rotten eggs

An ice-cold drink by Jayden Sim on Unspalsh. Many thanks

IF

If I grow up,

All day long I’ll take cool refreshing sips

Of coke, pepsi and seven up

And eat nuffin but crisps

The Forth Bridge at Sunrise by Jonny McKenna on Unspalsh. Many thanks.

Hercules’ Eleventh

(Painting the Forth Bridge)

Bristle-less my brush and parched my paint

Exhausted am I, ready with fatigue to faint,

But my work is done, adieu cruel July sun.

I shall now rest my wearied head on my feathered bed.

They can wait the Tyne, the Severn and the Humber

For I shall succumb to the sweet ecstasies of post-coital slumber

Summed Up

A synopsis of grownupsis is:

If it pleases you,

then it’s taboo.
