 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

If I Was A Cabbage…!


If I was a cabbage,
I'd mooch around all day,
Chasing slugs off me leaves,
Cos they always wana play!

But they don't play too nice,
Cos they eat holes everywhere,
And I wouldn't be able to run away…
So it really wouldn't be fair!

So anyway, if I was a cabbage…
I suppose I'd do alright,
I mean after all when's said and done,
I suppose the slugs would die of fright!

I would wana be a deep green cabbage though!
Cos they have a lovely sheen,
Them others look all wishy washy…
But I'd look great in emerald green!

Me mam told me I was born under a cabbage,
Hmmm, I wonder if I'm a cabbage patch child?
It wouldn't really surprise me though,
Cos I was always running wild!

I loved to legit round the park,
And mess about in mud…
Me poor mam just couldn't cope,
But I never expected she would!

Cos I really was a handful you know,
I was always climbing trees…
And you may think that's normal,
But I was well into me teens!

So if I was a cabbage,
Me mam would have had such peace…
Cos I wouldn't have been such a cow as I was,
And she'd have had much release!

…But…

Since I was born under a cabbage…
I'm afraid that's what I am…
And if you don't believe me…!
You can always ask me mam!
