Reading Poetry in Bed
Reading poetry in bed
My youthful ideals fed.
A half-desire
For Kipling’s empire.

An Ordinary Saturday
On my way
To eat breakfast
In a café
On an ordinary
Saturday, I heard birds.
While in Ukraine’s Kiev
Birdsong was drowned
Out by bombs.

When a Young Man in a Hurry
When a young man in a hurry
Fell into a big pit of slurry,
A chef named Jeff
Said to Miss Beth,
“Do hurry and serve him that curry!”
When a Young Man Named Mark
When a young man named Mark
Said, “go and clean this park!”
A girl called Gale

Which she emptied all over Mark!

A girl’s bare
Arms. The charms
Of scented hair.
Her leg
Touching mine
Is divine.
But I know
That in bed
Its often so-so.
