There was a young lady of Tibet
Who was known for her strange pet.
She crossed a pyjama
With a Tibetan Llama.
She did it just for a bet!

In the Hospital Garden, in Early Spring
In early spring,
In the hospital garden
No birds sing.
Or perhaps its me
With my thoughts of mortality
Who fails to hear
When they sing to men.

Art in the Park
When a girl who is fond of art
Took her clothes off in the local park,
Her friend Kate
Painted her portrait,
And the bishop he lounged in that park …

Time Passing
My old blue armchair
Is still there
By the wooden bookcase.
In that space
I sat and read
As the antique clock ticked
My day away.
,
Here, no clock ticks
And my need
Is for these antibiotic drips.
But how I miss
My old bookcase
And the ageing armchair where
I read the day away.
.
When I return again
To my own private place
The tick tock
Of my old clock
From high on the bookcase
Will teach me humility.

Lady in Red
When a naughty young lady in red
Was found hiding under my hospital bed,
A nurse known as Lou
Said, “I’ll spank you two!”,
Now our bums are sore and red!

Lou Who Has a Fondness for Eating Glue
I’m dating a young lady named Lou
Who has a fondness for eating glue.
When I aske her why
She says, with a sigh,
“its just what I have to do!”

Hospital Sunshine
The delight of sunlight on hospital corridors
Speaks of the great outdoors.
I walk in sunshine for a time.
Then, returning indoors, I rhyme
Of pretty nurses
Who make us patients laugh
As they pass
By our hospital beds.
I wonder, will these verses
Still be read
When I and pretty nurses
Find our final bed.

The Bishop’s Lapse
When a single young lady in red
Made love in the bishop’s new bed,
And the bed it collapsed
She said, “we have lapsed!
And we’ve landed on the vicar’s head!”

There Once was a Man from Norwich
There once was a man from Norwich
Who was extremely fond of his porridge.
When they fed him Weetabix
He hit them with sticks
So they kicked him out of Norwich!

The Hungry Vampire
There once was a vampire named Lake
Who entered a restaurant to eat steak.
A waitress called Moriah
Said, “you’re a vampire!”,
Are you sure you want that stake!”
