As I
Grow older, I
Doze more
In my armchair.
I wonder
When and Where
I will die.
Doze

A Matter of Weight
When a young lady named Lin
Was accused of a terrible sin
An elderly judge called Katie
Said, “this matter is weighty”.
But Lin was really quite slim!
When an Elderly Spinster Named Anne
When an elderly spinster named Anne
Said, “is that a naked man!”,
A young lady named Valerie
Said, “it’s an art gallery!”,
Which disappointed that spinster named Anne …
Power
“Can I use your bathroom?”.
“Of course.
Do you want a shower?”.
She sprays cheap perfume.
“No, I’m okay”.
What is force?
And who has power
Over whom?
He has had an hour
Or so.
Now she will go.
A Case of Mistaken Identity
A young man whose name is Blair
Has a habit of calling me Clair.
But at half-past 7
I change from Kevin
And dress in the clothes of Flair!
When an Excitable Young Lady Named Lou
When an excitable young lady named Lou
Said, “I never thought I’d be here with you!”.
And I said, “my dear,
But now you are here”,
She said, “yes! That is undoubtedly true!”.
The Truth
I said
To my friend
That the waitress
Was aloof.
Perhaps shy.
But the truth
Is I
Wanted bed.
The Country of the Blind
As someone who is visually impaired, I am registered blind, I was interested to listen to an interview with Andrew Lealand https://blog.freedomscientific.com/fscast-233-andrew-lelands-new-book-the-country-of-the-blind-and-accessible-manufacturing-at-the-seattle-lighthouse/. Andrew is in the process of losing his sight and has written a book entitled “The Country of the Blind”, which should not be confused with the novel of the same name by H. G. Wells.
In the interview Andrew talks about going blind and the many issues which losing one’s vision brings up.
Like me, Andrew uses software called Job Access with Speech (JAWS), which converts text into speech and braille enabling those who are visually impaired and/or blind to use a standard Windows computer or laptop. JAWS is manufactured by Freedom Scientific and Andrew Lealand appears on the company’s latest podcast.
I haven’t read Andrew’s book. It is, however now most definitely on my list of books to be read.
Rose and her Toes
I know a young lady named Rose
Who likes to show me her toes.
My wife Coral
Calls her immoral,
But she hasn’t seen Rose without clothes!
