When a young lady who sat mixing paste
Said, “your poetry is not to my taste!”,

As the Autumn Weather Grows Colder
As the autumn weather grows colder,
And I older,
The thought of warm bed clothes
With a Kate,
Or a rose
Still appeals.
I have known heels
To measure
My pleasure.
But pleasure passes,
For rakes and lasses,
And the graveyard grasses

Bringing acorns

Dies with us.
No, it lives on
When we are gone
In those we love.
And the birds
Sing on
With no care
For where
We have gone.
There Was a Young Lady of Bangkok
There was a young lady of Bangkok
Who collected many a fine gentleman’s sock.
Some men lost their shoes
Whilst drunk on strong booze,
But most of them lost a sock.
The Affair that Almost Was
When a young lady named Flair
Said, “would you like an affair?”.
I said, “I’m full of anticipation.
But its busy in Paddington station.
And it might upset the bear!”.
(Anyone familiar with London’s Paddington station will be aware that a statue of Paddington bear stands near to platform 1).
The Importance of Discretion
I met a young lady with petite feet
Who said, “please promise you will be discreet”.
I went back with Grace
To her sweet little place.
