There Once Was A Poet Called Spock!

There once was a poet called Spock, Who battled against Writer's Block! So he'd get drunk on rum, Till new poems would come, As well as new jokes like Knock! Knock! There once was a young guy called Spock, His laundry kept losing a sock! He would often complain, Till I said, use your brain, It's better than losing your frock! There once was a shepherd called Spock, Who cared for each one in his flock! When he counted his sheep, He would fall off to sleep, Then fall to the ground from a rock! There once was a Doctor called Spock, The patients decided to mock! They picked up the habit To talk like a rabbit, Before they asked him, What's up, Doc? One day, I paused to wonder As my wife's a charity funder. She gave this and gave that And my favourite hat! So I gave her shoes! And that stunned her! One day, I paused to wonder Some buccaneers choose to plunder. Is each one a slob Who won't get a job? Or do they think that's such a blunder? One day, I paused to wonder That God made storms and thunder! My teacher at School explained, These happen sometimes when it's rained, So watch out when nearby or under! One day, I paused to wonder When my dog tore poems asunder. Since I haven't a clue, There's not much I can do To upload them to Poemhunter! Denis Martindale.26th July 2025.
