This post was inspired by Funky Farmer. Click to read his post, it's brilliant!

This is for National Poetry Day. Some say it's 4th October but never mind, call this the first qualifying round.

I switched on my 'pooter this morning,
My normal, routine I might say.
Fresh from the commode,
I read Funky's ode,
It's National Poetry Day!!

So I brewed up my first mug of Tetley,
And took Mrs Grumpus one through,
Then I settled right down,
With pen, paper and frown,
To contribute a stanza or two.

I stared at the blank sheet of paper,
While my arse and my brain got in gear.
I started to chew,
At my pen, as you do,
But here's all I came up with I fear.
