‘What happened Pete’ said the headmaster ‘What were you and
Chris doing’
‘Well sir’ said Pete ‘Not much, kicking some b ball outside
the school and then
A couple of guys who were up to no good, kicked dog shit at
chris
So I pushed the b ball down his throat, called him a jerk
And it was about that time that I think his lung burst’
‘You’re talking shit, absolute shit’ said the headmaster as
he head butted Pete in the face
Pete fell on and swallowed an aerosol can which made his
lung burst.
Then the headmaster slipped on a board marker and his lung
burst.
Then a bird flew into the window and his lung burst.
Then Pete woke up from his terrible dream and his lung burst
again.
Pete’s mum came to wake him up, shocked by his burst lung
her lung burst.
Pete’s dad found them both and his lung burst.
Their cat found the family pile and it’s lungs burst.
The neighbour let themselves in and their lungs bursh.
Soon the house overflowed with burst lung bodies all over
the place.
They packed out the village, then the town, then the
country, then the world.
And this is why I sit inside writing poems.
They must be everywhere by now.
I like my lungs.
Breathing is good
