What could ya do if ya bum fell off?

May 2011

Here is a question for ya, what
could ya do if ya bum fell off?

Ya probably could prevent this,
if ya tried hard not to coff.

What if it really did fall off?
Then would it need a parachute?

Then ya never would be able, to
sit in the back of ya Ute.

ya would have to keep on standing-
up, or at least lay on the floor.

Ya would have nothing left to wiggle,
as ya went out through the door.

You’d have nothing to keep ya knick-
ers up and ya wouldn’t wan’ta sneeze.

‘Cos if ya did they’d slide right down
ya legs and wind up at ya knees.

(By Willow)
Ya could be saved from disaster,
put it back with sticky plaster.

(By Lily)
Can’t keep it in the freezer too,
don’t want it doing frozen poo.

(By Meg)
If ya bum fell off then of course,
ya couldn’t even ride ya horse.

There is only one reason why ya
wouldn’t want a bum at the back.

‘Cos then ya Mum just wouldn’t have,
a handy place that she could smack.

I hope this never happens, ‘cos
it would be such a dreadful sin.

If ya bum fell right off ya back
and wound up in the rubbish bin.

Where do such nice young girls get such potty mouths? We're still trying to track down their three different fathers to find out

Glad Uncle Dave's their to keep'em on the straight and narrow, ay.

That's what happens if you unscrew your navel: your bum falls off!

Cute poem, cute kids, good on Uncle Dave for giving encouragement and IMO it's a perfectly valid question - just one I hadn't thought of

Thanks Vic for the explanation - now would you need a Phillips for that?

Think Willows (pretty name) on the right track - that is a sensible solution.

Well done Girls - that was good fun

Future poets, every one of them

Children learn from their peers Marty ?????


Good poem though.
