I have boldly said
Come to bed
And explored in lust
A stranger’s bust.
Wrapped in the charms
Of warm arms
I have let go.
But I know
That behind all lust
Lurks cold and dust.
I have boldly said

I once met a young man named Peter
Who liked to play with his electric meter.
The behaviour of Hocking
Is really quite shocking!
But Hocking is not as shocking as Peter!
There was a young lady named Bianca
Who said all people should thank her.
But her conversation was boring
And had them all snoring,
So nobody heard that young lady Bianca!
I know a very artistic young blonde
Of whom I am extremely fond.
She poses in the nude
Which some think real rude,
But she’s artistic, pretty and blonde!
I was delighted to be interviewed by Ariadne Sawyer of the World Poetry Reading Series on Tuesday 16 April. My segment, which runs for just over 10 minutes and begins approximately 15 minutes in, can be found here, https://www.mixcloud.com/VictorSchwartzman/world-poetry-cafe-april-18-2024-kevin-morris-sharon-taylor/
.
During my interview, I read a mixture of serious and not so serious poems and discussed my work.
When a wicked old rake known as Toft
Said, “your skin looks so pretty and soft!”,
A young lady named Harden
Said, “I beg your pardon,
Was that you or the devil who coughed!”.
A young lady who is extremely clean
Likes to wash in a washing machine.
She dries in a dryer
With a girl named Moriah
And they wash in my washing machine!
As I drink my hot curry soup
Melancholy love songs loop.
The same thoughts go round and round
Of waitresses who have come and gone.
Sometimes my thoughts are profound.
At other times I tempt with rhymes
A waitress who likes poetry.
But I have found
My verse can not undress a waitress
For my brief rhyme
Is out of time
And I am growing old.
So I drink my hot curry soup
As the music loops around.
And then go home alone.
I know a young lady named Lou
Who fell into a vat of glue.
Her boyfriend called Rob
Is a terrible snob,
But he’s not as stuck up as Lou!
There was a young lady named Suki
Who said, “this castle is very spooky!”.
A ghost called Fred
Shook his gray head –
Which reassured that young lady named Suki!
