There was a young man named Moore
Who had lovers by the score.
But his wife Jane
Began to complain,
So he cut them down to 4!

Counting Sheep
When he asked her to dress that way,
There was nothing to say
Other than for her
To concur
With his wish,
For a man must have his favourite dish.
Did she care
About what she had to do?
The high-heel shoe
She already had, and the short dress
To. Although I must confess
That I know not
What she thought. But, at any rate
Her recompense
Was great
Redress for any sense
That she was being abused
(And girls choose
To wear such shoes
Do they not)?
And his expense
Was huge.
As for the aftermath,
She took a bath,
While prior to sleep
He counted sheep
No Alarm
This poem can be found in my collection, “Refractions”, which is available in the Amazon Kindle store.
Reaching for the alarm that wakes
He takes
A step into the unknown.

For work.
No sudden jerk
Of fear,
Just the passing thought, death is always near
And one day all will
Be still
Its True That Double Beds Are Made For 2
Its true
That double beds are made for 2
But when tea
Turns into wine
3 can be divine.
Or so I understand
From a girl named Bland,
Who says that she
Can introduce me …
There Was A Young Man Named Glover
There was a young man named Glover
Who fell in love with a plover.
But when his love was unrequited
With a flighty young woman he united,
Which didn’t please his mother!

Litsy – have you heard about this social media app for book lovers?
A few weeks ago my son told me about a fun phone app for book lovers called Litsy. I wasn’t sure I wanted to get into more social media. We all know what a time drain it can be. But because I only use social media for my blog, I thought it might be a good fit without taking up a lot of my time.
I was right!
Litsy is a fun way to share books and book reviews and you can link your posts to your blog and include links in your profile. It’s bright and colorful and easy to use. It’s also very friendly, which is something that is important to me.
Here’s how Litsy describes itself:
The only thing that matches the joy of reading is sharing that joy with others. That’s why we created Litsy. Founded in 2015 by the bibliophiles who brought you…

When A Young Lady Whose Name Is Heather
When a young lady whose name is Heather
Went out in windy weather,
She wore an extremely short dress,
Which I must confess
Was not exactly clever!
A Young Lady Whose Name Is Bland
A young lady whose name is Bland
Said, “your wish is my command”!
So I whispered in her ear.
But oh consequences most drear,
I received the back of her hand!
A Flirty Young Lady Named Lou
A flirty young lady named Lou
Lost her party shoe.
But a vicar called Ned
Found it under his bed,
Which pleased that young lady Lou!
