There once was a clever old ghost
Who spent all his days stealing toast.
When they covered it in glue
He said, “I’ll start stealing stew!”.
That clever and most enterprising old ghost!

We All Disjoint
At some point
We all disjoint
And go below
To must
And dust.
Transhumanists may deny
That I
Must surely die.
Yet below
I must go.
The Rain Falls Hard
Rain falls hard
In the churchyard.
But those below
Do not know.
On another day
Some other may,
Passing me by,
Think as I.
There Once Was a Most Poetical Old Squire
There once was a most poetical old squire
Who composed a poem to his housemaid Moriah.
As she knelt on the floor
She said, “do give me more!”.
So he did, which delighted his housemaid Moriah!
With My Joyful Balloon
With my joyful balloon
I found the sky.
But find in middle-age
That the balloon soon
Deflates. And of late

This show
Must pass.
Each lass
Must go,
And lad also,
To graveyard plot
Where our hot

And poet’s rhyme

Behind My Poetry
A secret desire
May poetry inspire.
As for me
I ofttimes see
Behind my lust
The eternal dust
Waiting for me.
The Business Side of the Business – Choosing your Publishing Path
A good introductory article for anyone considering publishing their work for the first time.

But not every author has that option.
Before you embark on either path, consider this: publishers, large and small, don’t waste budgets promoting work by unknown authors the way they do the few who have risen to the ranks of their guaranteed bestseller lists.
You will do the work of getting your name out there regardless of whether you choose the traditional route or not.
So, what are the perks of going traditional if you’re an unknown? Why go to the trouble of wooing an agent and trying to court a publisher? Even today, an air of ‘respectability’ clings to those who are traditionally published.

Lou Who Spanks Paying Gentlemen with A Shoe
I know a young lady named Lou
Who spanks paying gentlemen with a shoe.
When she spanked Mr Moore
In a large department store,
They made Lou pay for that shoe!
Shadows and Rainbows
Shadows
In the rainy park.
Dark
With flashes of sunlight.
Rainbows
Come and go,
Capturing the delight
Of rain
In sunlight.
