When a Lady High in a Tree

When a lady high in a tree

Said. “come here and sit with me”.

And I feared I would fall

She said, “o! don’t you recall,

That you fell long ago with me …!”

The Oldest Game

She ends each text with an x,

While he, with a world weary smile

Does the same.

It’s the oldest game

Around they say.

Some Feminists may frown

But the men still pay.

 

 

The women pay to,

But in a different way.

Some girls play a part

And retain their heart.

But each party pays,

And all loves and lusts

Are but endless dust.

The Divine Poetic Line

A young lady composing a poetic line

Said, “I’ll have another glass of wine

As the more I drink

The more I do think

That my poetic line is truly divine …!.

 

Blossom in the Rain

How soon the scent

Of blossom is spent

In the rain.

These little flowers

No not hours,

While I pass by

In unending rain.

Matt’s Cat

When an elderly gentleman named Matt

Said, “have you seen my cat?”,

A man called Hogg

Spoke of his dog,

And me? I ate my hat!

Loose Morals

A bishop riding on a goose

Said, “modern morals are too loose!”.

The creature said, “honk!”,

Which rhymes with bonk,

As it’s morals where somewhat loose!

Miss Lou’s Fetish

When I met a young lady named Lou

Who said, “I’ll explore my fetish with you!”,

I began to dream

Of strawberries and cream.

But Lou’s shoe left me black and blue!

 

Birds on a March Evening

Birds on a March evening.

Such beauty and grieving

For we all must sleep,.

 

 

Sometimes I almost weep

For birds in the evening

Will sing on

When I am gone.

 

 

Yet this night

I shall take delight

In evening birds.

For the graveyard plot

Has no song.

The Joys of the Birch

When a young lady sitting on a church

Said, “I hear your fond of the birch”,

The good vicar Ted

Thought of his bed,

And the bishop he thought of the birch!

 

Passing By

The ageing poet deals

In rhymes of passing time.

As girls in heels

Laugh as they pass by.

 

 

Their minds are not

On the ticking clock,

Nor on poets who sigh

As they  heedlessly pass by.
