<strong>Lampbulb</strong> <strong>moments</strong>
Destined to fail<br />
Designed to mimic<br />
the impossible<br />
Watching over us<br />
endlessly<br />
Forever defying<br />
their shortcomings<br />
Forever trying to be<br />
that which will always be<br />
beyond them<br />
(plus a bunch of other words)
Charlie Brown<br />
Snow White<br />
Teresa Green<br />
One of these is not to be<br />
trusted
The coronation was going<br />
well<br />
Only the empty seats were<br />
cause for distraction
The first butter<br />
knife was not a<br />
great success
If I had a penny for<br />
ever time I blinked<br />
I would not look<br />
the same
Idle eyes search for<br />
things they do not<br />
know they desire
As a child<br />
when my torch<br />
stopped working<br />
I tried to fill it<br />
up with light<br />
from a lamp<br />
This is not how<br />
torches work
Clouds<br />
Despite their deceptive<br />
appearance, are not the<br />
thought bubbles of very<br />
large people
My conditioner<br />
smells like someone<br />
is eating an orange<br />
in the next room
I once described<br />
someone as<br />
“the one with the<br />
face”<br />
they knew who I<br />
was talking about
Luck<br />
is subjective to<br />
the parameters<br />
much like skill
Flowers<br />
Such flirts
Bath or Bath<br />
It does not matter<br />
how you say it<br />
it is how you use it<br />
that counts
Why was the<br />
Jolly Green Giant<br />
so jolly?
Just because it says<br />
XL<br />
does not mean it is<br />
big
People<br />
should not<br />
look up to<br />
those that<br />
look down<br />
on them
“Remember when I couldn’t<br />
remember that song that was<br />
bugging me until I eventually<br />
remembered it?<br />
What was it again?”
I would say hello<br />
but I’m worried<br />
I may bite you<br />
and you’d spend<br />
the rest of your<br />
life like me
People should<br />
look up more<br />
they’ll notice<br />
not everything is<br />
straight forward
If you like<br />
a lot of<br />
chocolate<br />
on your<br />
biscuit<br />
corned<br />
beef
Gaming is the<br />
escapism<br />
that entraps<br />
me
