Goth

When I met a beautiful young Goth

Who was suffering from a bad cough,

I felt such bliss

When we two kissed.

But that Goth gave me her cough!

 

 

Halloween Vampire

I met a vampire on Halloween

Who said, “why don’t you scream!”

I said to Lake,

“Pass me that stake”,

Which caused that vampire to scream!”

Old Log

I have seen this same old log

Over many years

As I passed by with my dogs.

 

 

Years have flown.

I have walked alone

When my dogs have died.

Now I pass by

With another one.

 

 

Time moves forever on.

All logs decay.

I know one day

Dogs and I

Will not pass by.

But autumn leaves

Are beautiful to me.

Bare

When a young lady known as Claire

Said, “these autumn trees are so bare”.

They said to her, “dear,

Its that time of year.

And do put some clothes on Claire!”

 

 

A Young Lady’s Sock

A young lady drunk on Hock

Walked around wearing only 1 sock.

When they said, “you’re nude!,

Which is so very rude!”

She said, “I’m wearing a sock!”

Celebrity

A celebrity who appears on my TV

Is looking for a date with me.

Her name is Miss Spink

And I’ve seen her wink,

And I know that winks for me!

A Young Lady’s Hat

When a young lady wearing only a hat

Went and invited me back to her flat,

And I said, “Rose!

Where are your clothes!”,

She said, “You’re silly! They’re at my flat!”
