TETCHY
We all know someone tetchy,
Someone who's touchy too,
Someone very easily riled
Who bridles out of the blue.
This man is clearly sulking,
Someone's spoken out of turn.
He could have turned the other cheek
But such people never learn.
'Tch-tch' is his favourite sound
When he shows his irritation.
Others have to watch their words
When making conversation.
If this man decides to stay in bed
That's better for everyone.
Living with a tetchy person
Isn't too much fun.

FLAW
Some would see a flaw and some a funny chance.
Some would stop and look, some give it not one glance.
But a certain someone saw this as a little artistic joke....
Instead of a flaw he saw it as the outline of some smoke!
He added a little factory and, lo, it was complete!
Now people stop and chuckle as they're walking down the street
To see a little cartoon where once they saw a wall,
And to see a little picture where nothing was at all.
' Don't look for the flaws as you go through life', my mother used to say,
Meaning that to notice them simply doesn't pay.
But I think we should notice them and see them as the start
Of a little bit of nonsense that's almost a work of art.
