Fast and Furious

When a young lady who is really curious
Said, “I like to go fast and furious!”.
Me and Miss Stride
Had a great ride.
But her boyfriend he was more than furious!

The Pink Hairband

When a young lady named Bland
Lost a pretty little pink hairband,
And the wife of vicar Ted
Found it in the marital bed.
The vicar he just couldn’t understand …!

Fine Silk Stockings

A young lady wearing fine silk stockings
Said, “the people’s behaviour is truly shocking!
Why do they stare!”.
I said, “dear Claire,
I’ve heard clothes go well with stockings!”.

My Manner

When a young lady whose name is Anna
Said, “Sir, I really don’t like your manner!”.
I said, “I’m sorry for that
But please tell your horrid tomcat
Not to whack me with that old spanner!”.

Like a Bad Penny

Like a bad penny
You turned up at my door.
I have seen many
Of your kind before.

At first, I didn’t remember you.
Then, I did recall a fall,
And opened my door
To you, who brought a thought
To mind …

They say
The past is another country.
I find
It binds me to thee.

I could have shown you the door.
But birds of our feather flock together
And we both recall
My slip and fall.

Does the Devil Read or Write Poetry?

Does the Devil
Read or write poetry?
It might be so
For compassion’s glow
May burn low
In the wickedest heart.
And camp guards
Listened to Mozart.

The Erotic

A young lady who is very exotic
Said, “sir, there can be nothing erotic!”.
Then she took off her dress
Which was strange, I must confess.
As her essay was on the despotic!
