It’s time for Chel Owen’s Terrible Poetry Competition. Details and rules here
Last week it was won by Geoff Le Pard. He get to pick the theme and type of poem. So he has decided on the Topic of embarrassment, written as a pantoum.
The pantoum is a poem of any length, composed of four-line stanzas in which the second and fourth lines of each stanza serve as the first and third lines of the next stanza. The last line of a pantoum is often the same as the first.”

Here is my long remembered embarrassing moment.
*******
There I was petrified
By the radiator refusing to budge
Poor little me only five
I had wet my knickers
By the radiator refusing to budge
The Nuns cajoled my peers nudged
I had wet my kickers
My dress was marked my face was red.
The Nuns cajoled my peers nudged
I stood firm I would not budge
My dress was marked my face was red.
I was ashamed, wished I was dead
I stood firm I would not budge
Until sister Josephine pulled me away.
I was ashamed, wished I was dead .
The embarrassment lives on still in my head!
Until Sister Josephine pulled me away
I thought that I could cope
The embarrassment lives on inside my head .
There I was petrified.
