Sharon Jane Lansbury Poems

I snuggled with my book in bed,
a feather pillow for my head,
when something strange materialised
right there before my very eyes!
...

A Ladybird called Mrs Gresham
Suffers a severe obsession:
For though we all like tidiness
This creature cannot BEAR a mess!
...

Great Aunt Ant Augusta
had been missing for a week.
Inspector Fly said, ‘sorry, but
the outlook’s lookin’ bleak!
...

Goodness me! What do I see?
Upon a snail, a leafy tree!
And on that fence, why how absurd!
There sits a happy, singing bird!
...

Emily Gertrude Sylvia Miller
Is rather a portly caterpillar,
And whilst not wishing to be rude,
Emily eats a lot of food.
...

A woodlouse must, before he starts
performing these aerobic arts,
ensure that he is well aware
of certain rules made for his care.
...

A silly bug called Lucy Dora
tripped and fell into some Flora.
Apparently, she bumped her head
when landing on the slice of bread.
...

Michael is in trouble for he missed a crucial date.
His diary is not written in, his calendar’s a state,
and if it is your birthday, I think that you may find
that the happy day for Michael, is a blank space in his mind.
...

Henrietta said to me:
‘I am a warm and cosy bee -
...

Grandmama Mamillipede
Really isn’t up to speed,
And though we think she’s really great,
Our Grandmama is always late.
...

Clarissa, a spider of large proportions
whose legs are found in great contortions,
fell from the ceiling above my bath
(losing her footing along the path) :
...

Whilst in my garden, I could hear
a noisy sobbing sound quite near.
Investigation proved my fears
A creature crying many tears!
...

Brian had a birthday and his friends came round to play,
his mother made a birthday cake with icing blue and grey:
They played the kind of games that children play the whole world through,
and did the sort of naughty things that kids of his age do.
...

Felicity Flotsam is Everso Grand
Oh grander than that! I mean EVERSO grand.
Her clothes are made by Andre Gravine,
who, incidentally, makes frocks for the Queen!
...

Rachel (Parkinson) Fortescue-Pheede
is rather a tiresome centipede.
Since having inherited Grandpa’s wealth
she thinks of nobody but herself.
...

Polly Sprocket’s life was gloom,
she had to stay in her bedroom.
The reason why she was so glum
emanated from her mum.
...

Dear Sir or Madam,
I was most surprised to see
in this month’s Country Magazine
a delightful shot of me!
...

There once was a rat called Orlando
who did such a terrible thing!
He crawled up the drain pipe at Gloria’s,
leaving his comfortable bin.
...

The Best Poem Of Sharon Jane Lansbury

Bed Bugs!

I snuggled with my book in bed,
a feather pillow for my head,
when something strange materialised
right there before my very eyes!

A troop of creatures fairly small
across my eiderdown they crawled,
they marched up to my book to see
if they might have a word with me!

Their leader said, in tiny tones:
‘listen up you lazy bones! ’
I gazed down at the crowd before me,
half a million, then add forty!

‘Well? ’ I said. ‘What’s wrong with you?
Do you want to hear this story too? ’
‘Darn and blast you! ’ he cried in fright:
‘You keep us up for half the night!

Can’t you keep still? Not move around?
Or better still, sleep on the ground? ’
‘I don’t see why I should’ I said,
‘after all, it is my bed! ’

‘Rubbish’ said the chap in charge.
‘It’s you – you’re far too fat and large!
For nightly when we snuggle round
deep within your eiderdown,

nestled cosy in your sheets
and busy counting woolly sheeps
you roll and bound. You won’t keep still!
You squeeze and squash us all at will! ’

‘Aha! ’ I said. ‘Now come with me
and we’ll avert catastrophe! ’
I marched them to my dolly’s house,
evicted Archibald, my mouse,

Peace restored, and back to bed,
another problem lay ahead:
For there within the warmth installed,
I found a comfy Archibald!
