With Apologies to T S. Eliot

The women come and go.

But talk not of Michaelangelo.

One drunk on booze

Leaves her stiletto shoes

Behind  for Prufrock to find.

 

No mermaids sing for him.

But the girl was slim

And provided some delight

To a poet’s night.

 

 

When he turns to write

He finds that Miss Follett

Has taken his wallet,

And ponders on the Wasteland

Which a few understand!

Happy Easter!

A young lady who calls herself Honey

Likes to dress as the Easter bunny.

After food and wine

We crossed that line –

Then that bunny she stole my money!

 

Happy Easter to all of my readers!

A Young Lady Named Amanda

I know a young lady named Amanda

Who says that I don’t understand her.

She is slim and petite

And lives on my street

And I’ve seen her walking her panda!

A Young Lady of Uganda

I met a young lady named Amanda

Who comes from a place called Uganda.

She called me sweet honey

And spent all my money,

Then escaped whilst dressed as a panda!

Threatened with Chains

When a young lady brandishing whips and chains

Said, “do you like a girl with brains?”,

I said, “dear Lou,

I most certainly do!

But please can you stop brandishing those chains!”

Swinging

When I went to a swingers bar

With a girl who calls herself Marr

A police constable named Flair

Danced nude on a chair –

But you should have seen Miss Marr …!

Melancholy Polly

There was a young lady named Polly

Who was known for her love of melancholy.

Her verse was so sad

It drove us all mad

So we exiled that girl to a folly

Slippers and Kippers

There once was a young lady in slippers

Who was famous for her custard and kippers.

Her food was real nice

But that girl’s only vice

Was serving kippers whilst dressed in just slippers …!

Hatch Who Was Fond of a Scratch

There once was a writer named Hatch

Who was fond of having a scratch.

He liked to write

With his dog White

Whose fleas  would cause Hatch to scratch!

Phlegmatic Matt

There was a phlegmatic young man named Matt

Who was fond of stroking his cat.

When a ghoul appeared

And most wickedly sneered,

He said, “its always a pleasure to chat”.
