National Poetry Day 2010

Today - Thursday 7 October - is National Poetry Day, here in the UK.
When I was still teaching I would regularly teach poetry lessons and in doing so was inspired to write a few poems of my own. So, as it's National Poetry Day, here's one of them.


A Thousand Hairy Cannibals
by Jonathan Green

A thousand hairy cannibals
Went running through the zoo.
They gobbled up the animals
Then ate each other too.


(c) Jonathan Green, 2010


Which reminds me of a joke.

Two cannibals are sitting in the jungle eating a clown. One turns to the other and says, "Does this taste funny to you?"

    Jon, is there something you're not telling us?
    What's the real reason you recently moved house?

    Are you secretly....
    A Banana!?
