Poems from the great big Jersey poetry book. A collection of poetry from people in or from Jersey.

Bricks are very clever,
And there's a lot of them about,
So why aren't they allowed to vote?
They deserve a chance to shout.

What about the tables,
The hamsters and the dogs?
Wombles and bananas,
And small prickly hedgehogs?

People have screwed up the world,
While Stuff has paid the price.
If objects were allowed to vote,
The world would be quite nice.

I haven't mentioned gerbils,
Or mice or guinea pigs.
People are allowed to vote,
But what about their wigs?
