Spike and I, and the School of Silliness
Spike, and I, and the School of Silliness
(youtube clip of Spike in training at School at end of poem)
Are you aware that I went to
The same School of Silliness as Spike?
Well neither did I till I found out
The School had closed down (gone on strike)
The janitor was sorting through records
When low and behold he did find
That Spike was a graduate of said School
And I followed quite far behind
The janitor I asked to dig further
We found that Spike got a degree
I asked what I got for my silliness
He said, gosh Don, you got Pass 3
Now although Spike did get a degree
And I followed up with Pass 3
We're both really proud of our achievements
'Cause we both come from great Australee
We know that Spike used his learnt silliness
To earn him great fortune and fame
If I also apply my great learning
Could I follow on, do the same ?
My story 'bout Spike ends quite sadly
He said t'wards the end he was ill
But everyone thought he was joking
Was no joke, he ended dying, 'gainst his will
So how can I now bring your smile back?
Just follow my poems every day
Written to give fun and enjoyment
From where I am 10,000 miles away

I read your response... ‘'Man Boob Down Under" on John Coopey’s poem “MAN BOOBS” and knew I had to delve deeper and find more of your verse. I was seeking laughter to add to my evening cheer for the day lacked it.
You so handsomely brought back my smile despite the lack boobs in this poem. Glad I do not have to travel 10,000 miles a way to get a giggle from reading your poems each day. Thanks for the laughter I see your work is full of it.
