The Post 'One Vowel Poems' Competition


Oh My! By Beatrice

Oh words of O, my hobby now


To try to form or concoct


Works of only O, so lo -


My go, don’t throw no popcorn!

Bob McLoon from north of Troon’s


Fond of bonny Loch Lomond


Yoko Ono from Tokyo


Shops for song books, onyx bowls


Looks for oxymorons


Gordon Brown from London town


Snowy Stockholm’s Bjorn or Morton


Thor from Oslo, Sonny Bono


Molly Brown who won’t go down


Go to Soho on foot.


Who’s sorry now?


Orthodox Lord Longford shows horror


Porn shops shock or fool


Look who’s cool,


Long, don’t drool,


Soft spot for foxy Flo,


From glossy Cosmo front on Hollywood’s door


To common room of sobs, drops of sorrow on torso


Wot? No condoms?


Schoolboy trophy, no control


Slowly drown, forgot tomorrow


Do not cry.

No rock n roll storm, no prog rock show


No Motown songs or Doors


No Donny Osmond, only Snoop Doggy Dog


No lofty ghostly chords

Two jolly folk, on pony, hoof of gold


To Mojo Jojo’s dojo go


Om!

No spoon, no fork, no chop of pork


No sloppy hot dogs too


No grog, no froth, no hot Scotch broth


No bloody good mood food to scoff


No top of ol’ smoky, woo-hoo!


Took no port or Oloroso


Why’s forty-two on Hootoo’s goo?


Nobody, only Gnomon knows…

Two short-shorn crooks on broom


Boldly go by sporty zoom


To loopy golf tomorrow


Or monthly trot to Cork zoo spot


Good God! No loos on brooms


Don’t look down!


Torchwood, Dr Who on TV glow


Wot? No Vogons?


Dot-coms grow, only photocopy of books work.

From Cotswolds croft by corn cobs


Oxford dons consort to knock on wood for Kosovo


Old dogs howl to moon


Owl forlornly on dry holly thorn log


Crow on yon moor hops by cold brook


Longs for lost tooth


Glow-worms cry for Oryx’ fowl yolk


Or St Johns wort


Shops from donors don’t oft stock logo tops


Nor showrooms brown prom gowns, or spotty frocks


Or thongs of gold (so, so wrong!)


Toss down my thorny crown


Sold clown for chloroform joy


To my cost.

On to Toronto pronto Tonto


Why?


Who shot JFK from boggy knoll?


Who shot JR?


Doctor No?


Lord Byron?


Roy Wood?


Two-ton Orcs?


How?


Two wrongs don’t work, so doom looms soon...
