I see sunlight
On my bed.
Perchance we dance
In fleeting light
Then vanish
Into night.
I see sunlight
On my bed.
Perchance we dance
In fleeting light
Then vanish
Into night.
A young lady named Holly
Often leads me into folly.
At just gone midnight
We met Miss White
And rode her shopping trolley!
When a young lady wearing stockings and suspenders
Said, “you men you are all terrible pretenders!”.
They said to her, “Hocking!
Your behaviour Is real shocking!
You should wear more than stockings and suspenders …!”.
I wonder, when I die,
If it be in dream,
Will it seem
That I lie
Abed,
In perpetual dream?
I
Must take care
That my head
Is empty of all nightmare,
Lest, when I am dead
I, forever, dream.
Soon the autumn moon
Will come
And autumn’s milder face
Will replace
The boiling summer sun.
Yet the poet sees
Autumn’s Fallen leaves
Broiled by summer’s sun
Long ‘Ere autumn
Is due to come.
When I found naughty Miss Mabel
Making love on my dining table,
I said to Ted,
“What about my bed?”,
He said, “I prefer Miss Mabel …!”
There once was a vampire named Keith
Who became famous for losing his teeth.
He tried to bite
That feisty Miss White,
Who knocked out all of his teeth!
When I met a young lady named Grace
Who is possessed of an extremely pretty face,
And I took her to a seedy hotel
(Where the receptionist knows me all too well!
You should have seen that young lady’s face …!
I heard Autumn birds
And did think
Of strong drink.
And felt the fire
Of Autumn lust.
Man sates his desire
For sweet forget
In a girl’s arms.
For in dust
All charms
We forget.
