Road Works Ahead!

Me Auntie started cryin',
as they brought the coffin in.
Well, it did look kind o' strange like,
cos it were long an' thin.

It must o' been twelve foot long,
an' nearly six foot wide.
"Oh 'Enry, why've yer left me?"
Me poor Old Auntie cried."

"If it wasn't for the Council,
'e'd still be 'ere t'day.
But they went an' took the cobbles up,
an' tarmac they did lay."

"Our 'Enry 'ad jus' been t' pub,
to 'ave a glass or two.
But 'e must o' missed 'is footin' like,
an' stumbled down the brew."

"Well, 'e'd got 'is bran' new clogs on,
an' they weren't' much at grippin'.
'Is mates all tried t' grab 'im,
but they couldn't stop 'im slippin'."

"Down an' down the 'ill 'e went,
pickin' up some speed.
Till 'e landed in the road works,
in some fresh laid screed."

"They said 'e did a somersault,
before 'is fall were over.
An' the driver didn't stand a chance,
the one in the steam roller."

"They scraped 'im up as best they could,
I'm sure they did their best.
Well, -- yer only 'ad t' look at 'im,
'is suit were nicely pressed."

"I jus' don't know what t' do with 'im,
'e won't fit in the crem',
An' the grave they'd 'ave t' dig 'im,
would surely 'old ten men."

"I might wait 'til I decorate,
then paste 'im on the wall.
Wi' some nice flock paper over 'im,
yer'll 'ardly notice 'im at all.&qu

hi everyone this is just a poem i have made up over the summer holidays. hope its not too boring. i was just thinking about how complicated english class is
!

English is a crazy language!

the crazy language is insane,
with its many statements an complains
`my back is breaking, my head is splitting`
`my nose is running, my feet smell`
is this really possible?

there is no butter in buttermilk, no grape in grapefruit
no bread in shortbread, no ham in hamburger
theres no worms nor wood in wood worm
or no mush nor room in mushroom.

Greyhounds aren’t always grey.
Panda bears and koala bears aren’t bears
A horned toad is a lizard, a glow-worm is a firefly
And fireflies aren’t flies, they’re beetles.

Hot dogs can be cold, darkrooms can be lit
Morning sickness and daydreaming can be at night
Happy hours and rush hours last longer than sixty minutes
A king can rule a kingdom, but a Queen can’t rule a queendom

If olive oil is made from olives, whats baby oil made from
Silverware and glasses can be made from plastic
And tablecloths from paper
Most bathrooms don’t have a bath
The dog can go to the bathroom under a tree.

A bull dog doesn’t look like a bull
A german shepherd isn’t a shepherd
And a sheepdog definitely isn’t a sheep
I know for sure that you cant eat a sausage dog

Whoever invented English must be off his head
For every single tense
Just simply doesn’t make sense




P.s. be brutally honest in your opinions, ratings

thanks 4 reading.
