We both drank tea.
She smoked a cigarette
At my open window.
Pleasure tinged with regret.
Smoking is not my vice.
Thrice I have seen.
I know
A poem maybe
A window
Into a man’s soul.

With Sincere Apologies To Edward Lear
The owl and the pussycat went to sea, in a leaky, cardboard boat.
They had lost all their money
To a girl called Honey
Along with a £5 note.
The owl looked up to the stars above
And sang to a small guitar
“Oh beautiful pussy, oh pussy my love
I wonder where we are?
We are? We are?
I wonder where we are?”
With a sorrowful sigh
The pussy made reply:
“Owl,
You are a stupid old fowl!
Make no mistake
We
Are not at sea
But on a lake!
Oh what a stupid old fowl you are
You are
You are!
Oh what a stupid old fowl you are!”.
So they sailed away
For a year and a day
To the land where the bong tree grows.
And there in a wood
A stoned student stood
Blowing smoke from the end of his nose
His nose
His nose.

When I Said to Pretty Miss Ling
When I said to pretty Miss Ling,
“Passion, it is a very strange thing!”.
The vicar raised his old eyebrows
As she took off her blouse.
While the bishop spoke of the spring.

When a young lady soaking in my bathtub
Said, “I want to go down the pub”.
I said, “my dear Rose
First, put on some clothes!”.
But Miss Rose, she has never been good …

When a young lady soaking in my bathtub
Said, “I want to go down the club”.
I said, “my dear Rose
First, put on some clothes!”.
She said, “but Kevin, it’s a strip club!”.

My Mistress
My pretty young mistress named Alice
Resides in the great Crystal Palace.
The bishop’s wife Claire
Has a cold stare.
And her daughter’s name is Alice.
On Entering My Brand New Shower
As I entered my brand new shower
I met a young lady named Power.
She said to me,
“May I have tea?
But first, lets try this power shower!”.
Churchyard Tree
A tall tree
Arrested me
As I
Passed by
The churchyard yesterday.
When I
Go away
The tree will stay.
And others will pass by.
And, perhaps, think as I.
The Missing Cat
When a girl wearing a huge hat
Said, “has anyone seen my pet cat?”.
A man named Steve
Said, “my dear Eve,
That cat is concealed in your hat!”.
Walking a Tightrope
A young lady walking a tightrope
Said, “singing it helps me cope”.
So she sang real loud,
Which wowed the huge crowd.
But alas, that tightrope it broke!
