I met a young lady named Hall
Who said, “gaze into my crystal ball!”.
When I looked therein
I saw great sin,
So went home with gorgeous Miss Hall!

Janus waits in the wings.
As with previous dead years
He will bring
Laughter and tears.
Doors open and close.
The futurologist thinks he knows
What the future holds.
But Janus thumbs his nose,
And history goes
On as before,
And where it goes
Heaven only knows.
A man whose name is Terry
Is extremely fond of his Sherry.
As for me
I like tea,
And sometimes I enjoy Miss Sherry …
When a wicked young lady named Lou
Spanked me with her shoe,
And she said to Miss Jane,
“Pass me that big cane!”,
I begged Lou for more shoe!
Some come in wintertime
And bring delight
To an empty night.
Others in summertime
Fall with legs bare
In sultry air.
First timers are shy
And frequently do maintain
“I won’t do that again!”.
While guys inwardly sigh
And under their breath say,
“You will for pay”.
Kisses, laced with wine
Are sometimes divine
For good strong drink
Wards off think.
And a painted smile
Stays for a while.
My dog (still young)
Enjoys these fallen leaves
Flung across pavements
By Winter’s breeze,
Where they lie
As he and I
Pass by
On a December day.
I once saw a very old horse
With his clubs on the golf course.
When I said “good day”,
He said to me, “nay!”,
That rude and most cantankerous old horse!
The cash machine.
The gleam
In her eye
As she
Followed him home.
Chanting of shoes.
Later, alone
At home
He considered ”choose”.
She bought shoes.
And when they are gone
The profession will live on.
When a young man named Round
Said, “do say something really profound”,
I said, “men are dust
And full of much lust.
And yours is the next round!”.
I can try
To immortalise my clock
In a rhyme.
And, when I stop
My rhyme
May still engage
On fading page,
Though I
Shall know it not.
