There is no light
To brighten the night
As I pass
Along the churchyard path
Just gusting wind
Eternal as the rain.
There is No Light

As I Strolled Home on Valentine’s Day

My hair is thinning.
I drink and think
On sinning with women.
And, as I drink
I ponder on
Where my hair
Has upped and gone!

Heels at Night
Heels at night.
Delight and pain.
Her disdain.
His lust.
All dust.
Their mutual shame.
There Was a Young Lady Named Ball
There was a young lady named Ball
Who hung around the old music hall.
The great bishop Hocking
Found it real shocking
So he disciplined Ball in his hall …!
There Once Was a Poet Named Black
There once was a poet named Black
Who read his poetry in the outback.
When they threw rotten fruit
He played his old flute
And he threw that fruit right back!
Gale Who Yanked a Poor Lion’s Tail
There was a young lady named Gale
Who yanked at a poor lion’s tail.
That young woman was superficial,
But the beast being artificial
This tale doesn’t end badly for Gale!

Fay’s Poem
When a young lady named Miss Fay
Composed a poem that was very risqué,
Me and Miss Rose
Took off our clothes –
Now we’re in that poem by Fay!
