My Very Great Passion

I have developed a very great passion

For a young lady who loves fashion.

Her name is Miss Lou

And she wears 1 shoe.

Which she says is the latest fashion!

Miss Mar and the Vicar’s Spouse

I met a young lady known as Miss Mar

Who was speeding along in her brand new car.

She said, “I’ve left the vicar’s house

As I’m being chased by his spouse!”.

I said, “ah! That’s where you left your bra!”

Yvette’s Pet

I met a young lady named Yvette

Who asked me to be her pet.

She said, “join Varnish,

Whose wearing a harness”.

I said, “Yvette! We’ve only just met!”

I Leave Dry Leaves

I leave dry leaves behind.

Yet, I find

Leaves still whisper to me

Of my mortality.

 

 

Often they sound the same as rain.

I will return again

For they are part of my heart.

And poetry may live on

When I am gone.

While the rain will remain

 

 

I Once Met a Sad Old Vampire

I once met a sad old vampire

Who said, “I have lost all desire

To drink men’s blood”.

I said, “that’s good!”.

But I still didn’t trust that vampire!”

All My Fantasies

I find

Fantasies run riot

In my unquiet mind.

 

 

Sometimes in my dreams

It seems

That dark fantasy

Is reality.

 

 

But in unending dream

My fantasy

Will be clay.

When I Took My Labrador for a Walk

When I took my Labrador for a walk

We engaged in a jolly good old talk.

I said to him, “Apollo!

Your stomach is too hollow!”,

He said, “pass me that knife and fork!”

Into Space

I know a young lady named Grace

Who said, “do take me into space!”.

So we went to the moon.

But it was over too soon.

But that’s often the way with Grace …!

How Much “Human” Does Poetry Need”?
