Swipe

Duh duh dog dug Doug,
Tried to write a poem on my phone.
It didn't work out.

Abort

Miriam chuckled at the photograph.
'You look like a serial killer there.'
There was a pause.
'Look like?'
Replied Joel.

Steed

Wilmot stole a horse,
To impress a girl.
Who he hoped,
Was into knights.
Additionally he obtained
A roll of foil from Sainsbury's.
To construct additional adornments.
Such as a helmet.
And to wrap up his sandwiches.



Dating

What's really important is that everyone knows I'm a Sagittarius.
Thought Grubbles.
While filling out his dating profile.

Thief

Frank got so good at stealing things,
He chose to become a thief.
Which he liked the idea of.
Giving himself a title helped with the conscience.
There was nothing Frank couldn't lay his fingers upon.
The problem was,
He couldn't be bothered with ebay.
So his house filled with little trinkets,
From the homes of the elderly.
Or phones from the pockets of tourists.
And eventually he had to rebrand as a hoarder.

Mischief

Gusty moved to a new house.
Shared again,
Because no one can afford anything these days. 
It turns out her new housemates are astoundingly dull.
Everyone knew what they were doing.
Everything was organised.
And no food ever disappeared in unexplained circumstances. 
One night things got so tedious she pretended to go to bed early. 
Crept into the kitchen, 
And turned the fridge off.
She could not wait for tomorrow morning.

Remembering

Potto went on holiday.
He forgot to hydrate. 
His urine became orange.
Like the setting sun.
Which reminded him of the aforementioned.
And he smiled a little.

Rest

Kip took a hammer to his ankles. 
Loaded up WhatsApp. 
'I'm afraid I'm going to have to pull out of this charity walk, lads'
He sent, along with pictorial evidence. 
Then he put away his toolbox 
And launched Skyrim.
