Ironic


Love cheese on toast; allergic to wheat,
Mad about dancing; have two left feet,
Addicted to stargazing; scared of the dark,
Own a bloodhound; still have to bark.
Ironic!

Dream about women; always sleep on my own,
Never borrowed a cent; now can’t raise a loan,
Learned to cook gourmet; usually revert to the tin,
Pray for repentance; continue to sin.
Ironic!

Enjoy writing poetry; can’t spell a word,
Strong with my oratory; just never heard,
Love all other people; whilst despising mankind,
I photograph rainbows; although colour blind.
Ironic!
