Poetry and Historical Fiction on the World Poetry Cafe

On Thursday 29th January, I appeared on the World poetry Café together with the author of “Through the Roman Gate”, a historical novel which is available to purchase in the Kindle store. The book sounds like a fascinating read and I will be downloading it onto my Kindle.

 

During my segment of the podcast I read a number of my recently published work and talked about what inspires me to compose poetry.

My segment appears approximately 27 minutes in.

 

I am grateful to Ariadne Sawyer and Victor for hosting me on the World Poetry Café.

The Lost Hat

When a young lady who visited my flat

Said, “I think I have lost my hat!”

And I said, “after that booze

You lost more than your shoes!”

She said, “just give me back my hat …!”

Dodgy Geezer

I met a young lady Named Louisa

Who said, “you are a dodgy geezer!”

I said, “I’m not dodgy,

But perhaps a little podgy!”,

Which tickled that young lady named Louisa!

 

Aphrodite’s Nightie

My girlfriend whose name is Aphrodite

Went and bought a see-through nightie.

Her friend Miss Echo

Is fond of Prosecco –

And the vicar has her nightie …

When Dracula Went to a Pub

When Count Dracula went to a pub

In search of some good wholesome grub,

A barmaid named Kelly

Offered him fruit jelly.

But he wanted another kind of grub …

Dom

Have you heard of a dominatrix named Nicks

Who is known for her love of sticks?

If you ask how I know,

I heard it from Vicar Joe;

Who is known for his love of sticks …

Dodgy

Whilst browsing a dodgy website

I encountered a young lady named White.

She came round to mine

And after much wine

I kissed that young lady good night …

Generation Z

I am dating a young lady from Gen Z

Who says that she is in love with me!

She calls me her honey

And thinks I have money.

So don’t tell her the truth about me …

 

More wine

When a young lady drinking my wine

Said, “your rhyme it is truly divine!”

I said to her, “miss,

Do give me a kiss!”

She said, “first give me more wine!”

The Poetic Old Goat

There once was a poetic old goat

Who went and swallowed a coat.

He said, “that was delicious!”

But the effects were pernicious,

As a button stuck in his throat!
