Hobbo's Poems
A quirky look at life from a Yorkshire poet and his dog's perspective
Skin
Skin
I have just enough skin,
For the body I'm in.
How lucky is that?
Good job I'm not fat.
I would not have enough
To hide all my stuff,
You'd see my insides
And a lot more besides.
But if I'd just a touch,
Nay, a smidgen too much,
For the pounds that I weigh,
I'd look like a Shar Pei.
So here's to my skin
And the mish-mash within,
Epidermic, my treasure
Has been made to measure.

😆. I love it. One supposes we get packed at birth, just so. It’s part of midwifery training. Skin packing and invisible zips 101.

Do you know, sometimes I wake up, with my heart full of joy, and am abundantly optimistic for the sanity of human beings.
Other times…
