Reasons to be Cheerful: One, Two, Zombie
No more light pollution,
Ruining the stars,
Global warming gone,
With all those fumes from cars.
No more stuck in traffic;
Or idiots at the wheel;
Finding a spot to park,
Or hours caged in steel.
(That idiot bloke next door
And his annoying son
Acted big and brave:
Got eaten on day one! )
No need to pay the bills
Or keep the taxman quiet.
No pension plan to stress on
Or post-Christmas/ summer diet
And think of all those groups,
That really ticked you off
Lawyers, footballers, estate agents,
All now zombie scoff
No so-called celebrities
And the focus on their looks;
Instead, try conversation
And learning things from books
That’s not to say life’s easy
With zombies all about
But there’s plenty to be thankful for
Of that I have no doubt!
Well you’ve certainly cheered me up 🙂

And running fast to save our lives
Has kept us in health rude.
At least that would have been the case
If there were any food!

Well, I can’t speak for you,
But I could lose some weight.
All that zombie cardio
Leaves me feeling great!

I still think you were overly mean to the lawyers. But who knows, maybe some of them are poets or story tellers 😉
