There was a young man named Dunn
Who decided to fly to the sun.
But going off course
He encountered a horse
Who said, “that just can’t be done!”

A Shiver, a Sigh, a Smile: Audrey Driscoll’s Review of Leaving and Other Poems by K Morris
I was delighted to receive a 4 star review of my recently published collection Leaving and Other Poems:
“Morris has a knack for creating vivid pictures with few words. “The Lighted Department Store” is a perfect example. Reading it, I saw the cheerful lights of store and pub, I heard the shouts of drinkers and the clink of glasses, but at the end, I was reminded, comes darkness and silence.
The brevity and conciseness of these poems make this book perfect for readers looking for philosophical glimpses into life.”

There Once Was a Most Strange Ghost
There once was a most strange ghost
Who spent all his time eating toast.
I don’t know why
As after you die
You have no need to eat toast!

There Once Was a PM Named Moat
There once was a PM named Moat
Who gave all dogs the vote.
A government minister called Joan
Gave them all a bone
But the dogs didn’t vote for Moat!
The Secret of the Rose
“We know what was on his mind
When he composed a rhyme about time
And a flower who’s bloom to soon
Passed away”, they will say.
And I will make reply,
“Only the poet knows
The secret of the rose”.
But poets may lie.
Miss Page Who Dances on Stage
A young lady known as Miss Page
Dances nude for gentlemen on the stage.
Her friend Nell
Slipped and fell
But I managed to grab Miss Page …!

A Dog Who Had No Tail
A dog who had no tail
Made the poor vicar turn pale.
As the day turned dark
He would howl and bark
Until the devil returned his tail!
