I remember you.
Though a brief time
We spent
I recollect your shampoo.
It’s subtle scent
Fades. But a rhyme
May capture the rapture
Of girlie shampoo.
Though never you.

Temptation
The unspoken
Power
Of a flower
Unopened.
It’s heady scent
Does tease
And tempt.
Tis easy to swim
In the sea
Of sin.
And when
Men
Their pleasure crown,
Oh so many men
Go down. and drown.
When My Friend, Whose Name is Louise
My friend, whose name is Louise
Is always ready and willing to please.
When I found her in bed
We both turned bright red.
And the vicar spoke of his bees!
They Found, in Old Pompeii
They found, in old Pompeii
The ruins of brothels.
What will they say
When they find the remains
Of our passing day?
When A Young Man Named Paul
When a young man named Paul
Said, “all men and women fall”,
That wicked Miss Spink
Gave me a wink.
And Paul fell off the wall!
Anthologised
When anthologised
The poet’s work survives.
He dies.
But every pure thought
(And kink)
Is, forever caught
In ink.
Therefore, I think
That the poet, most wise
Ought to shrink
From being anthologised …
There Was A Young Lady Of Dover
There was a young lady of Dover
Who was fond of rolling in clover.
A cow called Lou
Gave her a chew,
So she left off rolling in clover!
The Man of Pleasure Knows
The man of pleasure knows
That behind the bright light
And girls of the night,
The rose
Turns to dust.
And all his lust
Will be
As she.
K Morris - Poet
