A Review of My Recently Released Poetry Collection, My Friend’s Robot Girlfriend and Other Humorous Verses

8 Replies

I was pleased to receive the below review of my recently published collection, My Friend’s Robot Girlfriend and Other Humorous Verses:

 

“Regardless of the theme of the collection, I find it’s always the case when you read collections of poetry or stories that some will be more to your liking than others, even when you feel like it was an enjoyable collection overall. Especially when it comes to poetry, which tends to be designed to be open to interpretation. This collection of poetry is a perfect example of that, so that I did have my favourites. “The Wicked Old Cat” and “One Dark Halloween” were my favourites in this case.”

Maiden

Stripping the maiden bare

I leave her.

In my living room.

No sweet scent

For me to repent

Just a frame

Of steel

And plastic,

A bachelor maintains

For drying clothes.

Burning the Candle at Both Ends

When I said to my dear friends,

“I’ve burned the candle at both ends,

By drinking and sinning

With beautiful young women!”.

They said, “that Kevin! He always pretends!”.

A young barmaid who works in the Grouse

Likes to give me one on the house.

Her name is Miss Spink,

And she likes a drink,

And to give me one on the house!

On the Closure of the Railway Bell, 14 Cawnpore Street, Gipsy Hill

I sit at the bar

In the old familiar pub

And touch the wood

Tinged with beers

From bygone years.

Landlords have come and gone

But the pub has continued on.

I recall

With delight

The fire’s warm light.

But it’s a summer evening

And there is no firelight.

To brighten  this leaving.

I say goodbye

To the final table

I am unable

To show my eyes

For men don’t cry

Goodtime

“Have you ever been in love”, I said,

After we had been to bed.

“Yes, and he broke my heart”.

 

 

I am not rude like some other guy

She  saw, she said. And before she left

She offered me more bedtime.

 

 

Then, I was left behind

With my art

And the thought

That there ought

To be no more goodtime

There Was a Young Lady of Cameroon

There was a young lady of Cameroon

Who went by the name of Moon.

By the star’s bright light

She would squeal with delight,

But it was over all too soon!

A tough young man known as Lee

Says he wants a word with me,

About a girl called Bland

And our one night stand,

But she only came round for tea!

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 …”.
