There once was a wicked old rake
Who, wishing his great lust to slake
Took the vicar’s daughter
Down to the water,
Where she bludgeoned him with a cake!

A Professional Young Woman
A professional
Young woman.
No confessional
Just dinner
Then a bar

Then its goodbye
And the evening sky
To keep him company.
While she
Being a professional
Goes home alone,
For friendship
Complicates a fee.
Tea and Cake
When my friend who is a terrible rake
Invited me round for tea and chocolate cake,
There where lots of young women
And a good deal of sinning.

Ripened.
Half-excited,
Part-frightened
By lust.
Immorality
When a young lady named Miss Coral
Said, “sir, you are wicked and immoral!”.
My good friend Jean
Said, “he’s a libertine!”
As she handed the dictionary to Coral!
Miss Bland Who Was Fond of the Handstand
There once was a young lady named Bland
Who was an expert in performing the handstand.

The Final Day of August
The final day of August
Brings Autumn’s coming chill.
Perhaps this is the last
Of Summer’s new-mown grass.
The eternal breeze
Rustles the leaves
And my once brown hair.
