As I strolled through the great Crystal Palace
I was accosted by that wicked Miss Alice.
After dancing and wine
We crossed that line –
Now I’m missing both my wallet and Alice …

Claire and Miss Rose
When a young lady named Claire
Suggested we all have an affair,
Her friend Miss Rose
Took off her clothes,
And the commuters they did stare!
The Philosopher
There once was a philosopher of this nation
Who claimed we are living in a simulation.
When a student named Rose
Punched him on the nose
He said, “my pain is a mere simulation!”
The Dangers of Sin
I met a group of young women
Whose pleasure it is to go sinning.
The good vicar Price
Warned me of vice,
So I left him with those women …
Miss Bland
I met a young lady named Miss Bland
With whom I had a one night stand.
That spinster Miss Hocking
Found it real shocking.
But to me it was really quite bland!
There Was a Young Lady of Dundee
There was a young lady of Dundee
Who decided to climb a tall tree.
When they said, “are you high?”
She said, “that I emphatically deny!
There is no pot in this tree!”
A Talented Young Lady of Good Hope

Is an expert in tying a rope.

Being determined that her book break through

Forthcoming Poetry Collection
For some time I have been working on pulling together a new poetry collection, the provisional title of which is Leaving and Other Poems.
The collection consists of both serious and humorous verses, with the former taking up the lions share of Leaving and Other Poems.
I hope to send off the manuscript for proof reading by the end of the week, with a view to the book going live on Amazon in late January/early February.
As with most of my poetry books, Leaving and Other Poems will be available in e-book and paperback. Many readers (including myself) still enjoy the physicality of paper books. Indeed I find that many younger readers become tired of screens and relish being able to sit down with a paperback or hardback book.
Once the collection is available I will post links to the respective formats on this blog.
