Naughty Lou

When a naughty young lady named Lou

Said, “Kevin, I really do miss you!”,

I said to her, “honey,

You miss all my money!”,

She said, “yes, that is perfectly true!”.

A Poet Entranced

A poet entranced

By branches that dance

In summertime.

 

Lost in rhyme

he walks the same

Woodland path

After sweet rain.

 

 

Nature laughs

As branches pour

Forth their store

Of sweet summer rain

When the Telescreens Went on the Blink

When the telescreens went on the blink,

A few took a lover

But, most, being fearful of Big Brother

Did not think

To riot. The Proles stayed quiet,

(Though members of the Thought Police

Where found drowned

In the poorer quarters of town).

Then, when the telescreens all got restored,

Things went on just as before.

Passing Time

My clock chimes

On a spring day.

Women and wine

Are mine,

But my springtime

Has passed

And the fast

Tick tock

Of antique clocks

Appeals not

To girls in heels

Who do not

Feel their clock

Soon must stop.

In My Lonely Hours

In my lonely hours

I have known

The pull of flowers.

I have grown

Weary of being alone

And bought wine

And flowers

To while

Away the time

With painted smiles

And blossom,

Fallen as I.

2 Poems from my Recently Published Collection, “My Friend’s Robot Girlfriend and Other Humorous Verses”

Below are 2 poems from my recently released humorous collection, “My Friend’s Robot Girlfriend and Other Humorous Verses”, followed by links to the book on Amazon.

 

 

I awoke to a very loud knocking,

In bed with the beautiful Miss Hocking.

She said, “I can not pretend

That I don’t have a boyfriend!”

I said, “Is that him knocking, Hocking?”

 

 

When a young lady named Kate

Said, “Kevin, you really do procrastinate!”

I said, “I beg your pardon!

But I am doing this garden!

But perhaps the garden can wait…”

Kate Who Went Out on a Sugar Date

I know a young lady named Kate

Who went out on a sugar date.

But the man had no money,

Which we all found quite funny!

But she lacks any humour does Kate!

A Cry in the Dark

I open my window

And let in his cry

With the chill  night air.

He is out there

Somewhere in the dark park,

Or the churchyard nearby.

 

 

I closed my

Window against the chill air.

He remained there,

(For how long I

Can not say).

Then his cry

Seemed to fade away.

A House of Stopped Clocks

A house of stopped clocks .

Where, when,

He attempts to wind them,

Wise men

Say, “why not try

Some new batteries today …!”.
