We Started Off As Nothing Poem by Dave Chessher

Our parents had a hump
Not long after there was a bump

9 months later we pop out
A slap on the bum, to get us to shout

The entire thing we have to endure
The screams, the cries were just ignored

Then as we start to grow
Bumps and bruises come and go

Getting older and having fun
No one said, what was to come

The fun times slowly go
Replaced with feelings down below

We start to look at the opposite sex
Wondering and thinking what might be next

Starting work is as bad as school
The pushing, the punching, waiting to fall

Then we try to settle down
Moneys a problem thanks to brown

Buying a house is out of the question
I have no savings, there will be no pensions

Renting a house at an extortionate rate
The bills and payments are getting late

You find the partner of your dreams
It’s funny how they’re not what they seem

The ups and downs of all these things
Have taken its toll on our dreams

We might be lucky to leave this place
Without feeling of that mighty disgrace

In an old persons home can’t be fun
Getting someone to wipe your bum

Looking into space and waiting for that time
For that great lord above to give me that sign

That glowing white gate to open and say
I’m here to take you away

Jesus Christ where have you been
I’ve been through so much, I just wont to dream


You can rest my son in this great place
On these soft clouds, in the middle of space

They now have my house and my money
It’s all a laugh, it’s all so funny

They will one day be in this place
Having their bum wiped and there face

Thank you all for a wonderful life
