I’m delighted to welcome Kevin Morris back as my guest writer. Kevin has appeared on my blog a few times with some wonderful poems. He’s just had a new book of poetry released, called ‘MyFriend’s Robot Girlfriend’. Do hop over to Amazon and take a look. Links can be found below.

Here’s what Kevin has to say about his love of poetry:

I have long been a fan of poetry in general, and spent many happy hours leafing through poetry anthologies in the school library. I know, I was a precocious child!

Many of my poems are of a serious nature. I therefore thought that it was high time to pull together a collection of my humorous poems, hence my recently published collection, “My Friend’s Robot Girlfriend and Other Humorous Verses”, which is available in Kindle and paperback from Amazon.

I hope you enjoy the below poems:

When I Met a Young Lady Online

When I met a young lady online

Who invited me round for some wine,

I said to her, “Coral,

There will be nothing immoral!”.

She said, “no, but after the wine …”.

I Am Trapped in Time

I am trapped

In time.

My passing rhyme

Must end

When he taps

Me on the shoulder

And says, “its over

My friend”.

 

And will aliens find

Fragments of poetry

And ponder on rhyme

And fleeting time?

 

 

Or will they see

An unintelligible line?

Or perhaps not care

When and where

We humans wrote,

Then cut our throat?

 

 

A Rake Ponders on His Mortality

Will I die,

Like a drunken fool

Falling off a bar stool?

Or will I

Be found dead in bed

In an empty room

Where cheap perfume

Lingers on stiffening fingers?

 

Will I die

As an old rake

Who did partake

In fleeting play?

 

 

There is no bliss

In death’s hard kiss,

Merely clay

Where rake and saint

Together stay.

Lou Who Dressed in 1 Shoe

There was a young lady named Lou

Who walked around dressed in 1 shoe.

When a girl called Rose

Said, “put on some clothes!”,

Lou said, “I’m dressed in this shoe!”.

 

The Wicked Cat

I once met a wicked cat

Who attacked me with a bat.

When I said, “Percy!

Show me some mercy!”,

He laughed and raised that bat!

 

When Naughty Miss White and Miss Winning

When naughty Miss White and Miss Winning

Came round to mine for some sinning,

We got covered in cake

While a vicar named Lake

Condemned us for all of our sinning!

A Grave Situation

When a man whose name was Dave

Said, “I’ll sleep in this ’ere grave”,

A ghost called Clair

Said, “that isn’t fair!

I’d like some privacy in my grave!”.
