A Case Of The Silly’s
Imagine my surprise, all I could see
I awoke this morning in a daze
Checked my phone, it’s Sunday,
I don’t seem to have any memory
Of what I did at all on Saturday.
***
I opened the fridge as I’m hungry
Imagine my surprise, all I could see,
Refuse and rubbish on the shelves
So where on earth could the food be?
***
I decided I needed to head to the shop
But first point of order is a shower,
Imagine my surprise, all I could see
The bath is totally filled with flowers.
***
This is getting stranger by the minute
Heading to the bedroom to dress,
Imagine my surprise, all I could see
My wardrobe is a nothing but a mess.
***
I found the food from the fridge
It’s all mixed in with my clothes,
A mess is being extremely polite,
As the smell alone, is on the nose.
***
Oh well I’ll need to do a load of wash
Taking clothes to the washer and dryer,
Imagine my surprise, all I could see
Both machines had been set on fire.
***
Maybe I should head on back to bed
Am I dreaming or is this a nightmare,
If I go back to sleep, will I awaken
Happily finding no mess anywhere?
***
Let me first check the rest of the house
I wandered through room after room,
Imagine my surprise, all I could see
My cats dressed in frilly costumes.
***
That’s it, I’m obviously going insane
It must have been me, as I live alone,
Yesterday must be a case of the silly’s
And I’ll reawaken to my normal home.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
