There was a young lady named Lou
Who composed a poem to her shoe.
She took great care
Of her favourite footwear,
As all well bred young ladies do!

Eternity
Shall I intrude
Into their quietude?
The wind sings
As I,
Alone
Pass by
Gravestone.
Time has stopped,
For those below.
I have the clock
And somewhere to go.
But the wind sings
Softly to me
In the churchyard tree.
Tied Up
A naughty young lady named Miss Lou
Tied me up at just gone 2.
At just after 4
I said,, “no more!”,
But Miss Moore she joined in too!”.
If We Had Met, Other Than We Did
If we had met,
Other than we did
Perchance the fast dance
Would end in friend.
But you had
Your need
To feed.
And I was glad
For I had
My loneliness and lust
To lose
For a while
In a girl’s smile.
But dust
I can not escape
In the loss
Of high-heel shoe
And girl’s short cape
A Poem from “The Selected Poems of K Morris”
Shadows on the wall,
I recall.
One can not catch a shade,
For it is made
Of Moonbeams
And passing dreams.
(Shadows on the Wall can be found in my Selected Poems, which can be accessed here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WW8WXPP/.).
A Forgetful Vampire
A forgetful vampire, whose name is Lou
Has a habit of losing her shoe.
The suave Count Dracula
Never employs the vernacular,
And he’s fond of a stiletto shoe …!
When I Met a Vampire Named Lou
When I met a vampire named Lou
Who said, “your neck it will do!”.
I offered her fine wine.
But she replied, “you’re mine!”.
And my neck it had to do!”
Nelly Who Was Fond of the Telly
There was a young lady named Nelly
Who was so busy watching the telly
That she mistook Sunday roast
For some hot buttered toast,
Which she ate along with her welly!
My Libertarian Friend
My friend, who is a staunch libertarian
Has purchased a large brand new aquarium
Wherein all the fishes swim
Imprisoned in glass and tin.
And my friend he’s a staunch libertarian !
