My friend got married the other day. He’s been through a lot in his life and so I wrote him this poem to commemorate where he’s come from and where he is now. His partner is one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. I’ve never been happier for two people. #poem #poetrycommunity #love

Stag do poem (3/4). I wrote this poem and the stag asked me to redact some of the information in it as it was incriminating. #poem #redacted

Arrived for a stand up gig, told there was a bunch of squadies in the audience… I’m either gonna get beaten up or pull.

Turns out I pulled! The army boys enjoyed me so much I got asked to perform a solo show for them! They could rip me apart… should I do it? #comedy #standup #army

Simon Says Comedy @simonsayscomedy.bsky.social · Jul 3

Thanks so much! My original version didn’t include the last stanza and everyone who read it got really depressed…

Today’s poem is really early because I have to go and sit in a three hour meeting! I feel this poem sums up how I feel about this. #poem #poetry #funny #bored

Today’s poem was inspired by an episode of WDYDYPod when DOD spent all day procrastinating. The way he described the day had such rhythm it gave me the idea for this poem, I have merged things he did with things I do to procrastinate. #poem #poetry #funny #procastinate #whatdidyoudoyesterday
