Many a man’s goal
Is derailed by the beat
Of stillettoed feet
That tear a hole
In his suffering soul.

Cyborg
When skin and bone are gone
The cyborg continues on,
But is it you or I?
And can a cyborg die?
There Was A Young Lady Called Mia
There was a young lady called Mia
Who drank 10 pints of beer.
A passing monk
Said “your drunk,
And beer it is so dear”!
Light and Shade
Walking upon grass
I pass
Through light and shade
No maid
To accompany me,
Just the shade
Of the final tree
To engulf me
Anyone Can Write Like Shakespeare
Often do I sigh
On hearing the old lie
That anyone can write like Shakespeare.
Sensible people know it isn’t true
Yet through fear
Of being labelled with that dread
Word “elitist”, which cuts debate dead,
All but the brave withdraw into their shell
For they know full well
That the roof
Frequently does fall
On he who has the gall
To tell the unvarnished truth.
Wisteria
Wandering around Hampton Court
In late May, a thought,
Prompted by Wisteria hanging on a wall.
A few purple flowers, their scent
Already spent
And ready to fall,
Did to me call.

The flowering time for Wisteria is April to June. I visited Hampton Court with my friend, Brian yesterday (20 May).

There Was A Young Lady Called Lou
There was a young lady called Lou
Who lost her party shoe
While dallying in the park
In the sultry dark.
She lost her stockings to!
There Was A Young Lady Called Lin
There was a young lady called Lin
Who asked “how many angels can dance on a pin?”
An angel named Guy
Said “I really would try
But ‘Tis painful to dance on a pin!”
Polythene
A sheen
Of perspiration
Is seen
On polythene
Anticipation
Rises.
Comprises:
Coin,
Join,
Sweat
And regret.
