A girl’s bare
Arms. The charms
Of scented hair.
Her leg
Touching mine
Is divine.
But I know
That in bed
Its often so-so.

When I Looked Under My Big Bed
When I looked under my big bed
I saw a young lady in red.
I said to her, “Claire!
What are you doing there!”
She said, “I fell out of bed!”
A Young Lady Up On a Cloud
A young lady up on a cloud
Said, “sir, you are speaking too loud!”
I said to her, “Flow,
If I speak too low
You won’t hear me on that cloud!”
Boring Miss Lou
My girlfriend the boring Miss Lou
Is fond of the number 2.
That fascinating Miss Leigh
Is up for 3.
And me I’m stuck with Lou!
The Careless Agnostic
There once was a rather careless agnostic
Who fell into a tub of Bostik.
When they said, “have you belief?”
He cried out in great grief,
“Someone get me out of this Bostik!”

Victoria Zigler:
“This is another excellent collection of poems by this author, some of which are thought-provoking, while others are amusing. I can easily relate to the poem “I Cut Bread” having been in a similar situation with a dog of my own, and “Autumn’s Dead Leaves” was another poem I really loved from this collection.”

Have a Nice Day
When a young man whose name was Ray
Fell head over heels with gorgeous Miss Fay,
A girl called Hocking
Did something quite shocking!
And the American said “have a nice day!”
When a Tired Young Lady Named Holly
When a tired young lady named Holly
Fell asleep in Lady Molly’s ancient Folly,
A short sighted gardener called Dan,
Being a most careless old man!,
Went and pruned that young lady Holly!
All These Fallen Trees
All these fallen trees
Will fertilize the ground.
Do young couples pass
Along the wooded path
And think thoughts profound
Of nature the creator
And of how trees
And fallen leaves
Fertilize the ground?
There Once Was a Young Lady in Waiting
There once was a young lady in waiting
Who, whilst watching the ducks at their mating
Got into very hot water,
While the vicar’s sweet daughter
Dated young men who she didn’t keep waiting …!
