There once was a girl named Gale
Who got swallowed by a large whale.
But her heels being sharp
He said, “for my part,
I wish I had swallowed a snail!”

I saw hyacinths at my friend’s door.
Such sweet scent, but too soon spent.
Now I enter at his door
Though the flowers bloom no more.
But our friendship lives on
Though the hyacinths are gone.
All flowers must wither and die
But friendship may survive
Until the body dies
And we become as one
With sweet flowers long gone.
Awaking after a night of passion
With a young lady of fashion,
I said to her, “Lou!
We’ve been sleeping in glue!”
She said, “it’s the latest fashion!”
I once met Cupid with his Bow
And said, “there’s this gorgeous girl I know.
Her name is Miss Lee.
Please make her love me!”.
So he shot Miss Lee in her toe!
I have boldly said
Come to bed
And explored in lust
A stranger’s bust.
Wrapped in the charms
Of warm arms
I have let go.
But I know
That behind all lust
Lurks cold and dust.
I once met a young man named Peter
Who liked to play with his electric meter.
The behaviour of Hocking
Is really quite shocking!
But Hocking is not as shocking as Peter!
I know a very artistic young blonde
Of whom I am extremely fond.
She poses in the nude
Which some think real rude,
But she’s artistic, pretty and blonde!
I was delighted to be interviewed by Ariadne Sawyer of the World Poetry Reading Series on Tuesday 16 April. My segment, which runs for just over 10 minutes and begins approximately 15 minutes in, can be found here, https://www.mixcloud.com/VictorSchwartzman/world-poetry-cafe-april-18-2024-kevin-morris-sharon-taylor/
.
During my interview, I read a mixture of serious and not so serious poems and discussed my work.
A young lady who is extremely clean
Likes to wash in a washing machine.
She dries in a dryer
With a girl named Moriah
And they wash in my washing machine!
