Snooty Miss Glass

an extremely snooty young lady named Glass

Said, “you are so very working class!”.

My good friend Miss Kate

Said, “he owns an estate!”.

And now I am married to Glass!

She will bring her dress and heels.

He will ask about university.

They will talk of the winter weather.

He’ll wonder how she feels

As he takes pleasure

In her short dress and youthful caress.

And hot sugary tea.

The New Club

A new sex club has opened near me

And the locals are angry as can be!

But I hear from Miss Grub

That it’s a very good club,

So I’m going with the vicar to see …

I Once Met a Dog Drinking Beer

I once met a dog drinking beer

Who said, “do you know Miss Ria?”.

I said, “she’s divine

And fond of wine.

But dogs they should not drink beer!”

When a Snobby Young Lady

When a snobby young lady known as Lou

Went and stood in some very strong glue,

And she said to us all,

“I am stuck to this wall!”.

We said, “you’ve always been stuck up Lou!”

Cook’s New Poetry Book

When a poet whose name was Cook

Went and published a new poetry book,

And a young man called Frank

Said, “the pages are all blank!”.

“That’s because it’s blank verse!”, said Cook.

The Monk and the Skunk

When I met an extremely drunk old monk

Who went an threatened me with his skunk,

And I said to Hocking,

“His behaviour is really shocking!”.

She said, “whose? The monk or the skunk!”

Often Poetry is Enough

Often poetry is enough.

But sometimes I find my mind

Occupied by other stuff.

I see young women in heels

Slippery as eels.

 

 

Like eels they slip away.

Though some stay.

A moment in time

Caught in rhyme,

When they have gone away.

I Once Met a Very Bad Lad

I once met a very bad lad

Who said, “your poetry makes me sad!”.

I said to him “Moore!

You are a terrible bore!”,

As I soundly beat that bad lad!

 

How Soon the Lights Go Out

The eternal wind roared last night

Bringing thoughts of Wuthering Heights.

No Heathcliff threw open the window

Imploring Cathy to come in .

Yet I felt the storm grin.

 

How quickly the lights

Of pubs and clubs go out.

And the reveller’s shout

Is lost in wind and night.
