When I saw 2 angels fall.
There was angel dust
And man’s passing lust.
And their names I do recall.
Yet, I continue to persist
In believing angels do exist.
And that not all angels fall

An Angel Named Lin
There once was an angel named Lin
Who wished to dance on a pin.
But a wicked old mortal
Tempted her through his portal,
Which led to great wickedness and sin!
Curious Fay
When a young lady whose name is Fay
Said, “tell me what your poems do say!”
I said, “come you near my dear
And let me whisper in your ear.
Sweet Fay, they mean what they do say!”
As I Drink My Red Wine
As I drink
My red wine
I idly think
On Dowson’s rhyme.
The poet took delight
In women and wine.
On this December night
I have my wine.
Adam and Eve
There was a young lady named Eve
Who fell for a guy called Adam.
But she said, “its such a crime
As his name doesn’t rhyme with mine,
So I’ll marry his best friend Steve!”
Words
I hear the birds
And think on windblown
Words outflown
By birds.
On Hearing Sirens Pass By
On hearing sirens pass by
I think on Philip Larkin
And Rhyme
While I
Have time.

Philip Larkin’s poem Ambulances frequently comes to mind when ambulances pass me by. You can find an analysis of Larkin’s fine poem here, https://interestingliterature.com/2017/05/a-short-analysis-of-philip-larkins-ambulances/.
I Am Birdsong
I have heard
A solitary bird
Sing to me
From a tree
In the park
As the dark
Came softly down.
I have found
In his song
Melancholy and beauty
For that is part
Of mine own heart.
I am sweet birdsong,
Love, lust and dust.
Philosophical Gwen
When a philosophical young lady named Gwen
Climbed to the top of Big Ben,
And a policeman called Lyme
Said, “tell me the time”.
“Time has no real existence”, said Gwen!
While at College
While at college
The mower would pass
Across the grass.
Back then my knowledge
Failed to say
That sweet springing grass
Must turn to hay.
