The pneumatic
Girl’s ecstatic
Sigh
Causes him to wonder Why
No passion lights her azure eye.
Such style
And oh, Her smile.
He will resile
But that smile …
“I will play awhile
Then resile”.
It is a beautiful day.
They will make hay
As the sun does shine.
Women and wine
Are surely divine,
So he will make hay
While the weather stays fine.
While strolling around Kew Gardens, with my friend Brian on Saturday 30 July, we came across Leo Marx’s moving poem “The Life that I have”, on a bench which stood in one of the many tranquil spots to be found in the gardens, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraphtv/3460867/Virginia-McKenna-recites-The-Life-That-I-Have.html.

There was a young lady called Michaela
Who met a deep sea whaler.
By the light of the moon
He brandished his harpoon,
That intrepid, handsome sailor
You neither sleep nor weep,
While I sleep, the sleep of the just or unjust?
Awaking, lust
Is replaced
By a kind of guilt
Mixed with tenderness?
I can not see your face
And the Quilt
Covers
That
Which
Perhaps
Should
Have
Remained
Undiscovered.
Skeleton
Cupboard
Not
Yet
Discovered.
Brush
Under
Carpet
Swept,
Sweeps
No
More.
A scheming young lady called Alice
Married an elderly billionaire from Dallas.
Said Alice, “You are minted and old
And I, being bold
Demand that you buy me a palace”!
There was a young lady called Samantha
Who went out on a date with a panther.
The panther said,
“I have not yet fed.
Its lovely to eat you Samantha”!
There was a young lady called Coral
Who was extremely moral.
She found
A pound
And looking around
Said, “No one can see you Coral …”!
There was a young man called Mark
Whose view of the world was dark.
Leaning over
The white cliffs of Dover
He said, “To jump would be such a lark”!
There was a young man called Harry
Who wishing his girlfriend to marry,
Bought her a ring.
But she did sing,
“I love a man named Barry”!
