A young lady named Ocean
Is good at self promotion.
When she climbed Nelsons Column
With the PM dressed as Gollum,
The tourists, they all cheered Ocean!
Last Night I Met A Pretty Young Witch
Last night I met a pretty young witch
Who said, “I know how to get rich”.
I took her to bed
But, by morning she’d fled,
With my wallet, which made that witch rich!
Early Wednesday Morning Humour
When a young lady named Ann
Called me a very bad man,
I said, “I haven’t done anything yet!”,
She said, “that I very much regret!”.
She’s a naughty young lady is Ann!

When a young lady named Leigh
Said that she enjoys reading poetry,
I suggested a hot date
With Leigh and Miss Kate,
As my favourite number is 3!
—
When a young lady named Joan
Hid behind an ancient gravestone,
A corpse passing by
Said, with a sigh,
“Joan, I wish to be alone!”.

When a teenager eating icecream
Knocked at my door on Halloween
And said, “trick or treat?”,
I revealed my clawed feet,
And I screamed an unearthly scream!
I’m Dating A Girl Named Corral
I’m dating a girl named Corral
Who is extremely strict and moral.
So when round at her flat
I keep on my hat,
To avoid an almighty quarrel!
Last Night I Found In My Double Bed
Last night I found in my double bed
A young woman who was lacking a head.
When I said, “its not yet Halloween”,
She gave a most terrible, piercing scream,
Which was strange, as she had no head!
There Once Was A Young Man Named Niels
There once was a young man named Niels
Who was fond of girls in high heels,
But the parish priest called Paul
Knew that wouldn’t do at all,
So he confiscated those girls and their heels!
On Hearing The Clatter of Stilettos Late At Night
On hearing the clatter
Of sstilletos late at night,
I think on girls who flatter
And bring delight.
And the price
Of vice
To those who grow old
In sin.

The Allerton Oak
As someone who was born in the city of Liverpool, I was delighted to learn that Liverpool’s Allerton Oak has been crowned Tree of the Year.
The BBC reports that the tree predates the Norman Conquest of 1066, and legend has it that a medieval court was held under it’s spreading branches. You can read the BBC article here, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-50141031.
I am a lover of all trees and, in particular oaks. You can find my poem “The Girl and the Oak” here, https://kmorrispoet.com/2016/01/03/the-girl-and-the-oak/.
A Young Man Dressed In Scruffy Old Jeans
A young man dressed in scruffy old jeans
Wishing to marry a lady of great means,
Dated lots of young women
And indulged in some sinning,
But he’s still in those scruffy old jeans!
