Spike Milligan Poems

Somewhere at some time
They committed themselves to me
And so, I was!
Small, but I WAS!
...

My sister Laura's bigger than me
And lifts me up quite easily.
I can't lift her, I've tried and tried;
She must have something heavy inside.
...

Born screaming small into this world-
Living I am.
Occupational therapy twixt birth and death-
What was I before?
...

So they bought you
And kept you in a
Very good home
Cental heating
...

If you're attacked by a Lion
Find fresh underpants to try on
Lay on the ground quite still
Pretend you are very ill
...

Drake is going west, lads
So Tom is going East
But tiny Fred
Just lies in bed,
...

I was thinking of letters,
We all have a lot in our life
A few good - a few sad
But mostly run of the mill-
...

If I could write words
Like leaves on an autumn forest floor,
What a bonfire my letters would make.
...

English Teeth, English Teeth!
Shining in the sun
A part of British heritage
Aye, each and every one.
...

The essence of true beauty
Lingers in all-encompassing rainbows
Of your joy and laughter
...
