There was a young lady named Fay
Who met with a gentleman one day.
He said, “I’m a buccaneer!”
Which Fay found quite queer,
As he worked in a field of hay!

Ark
I awake to rain again.
Should I build an ark?
If I do the shark …
My thoughts grow far too dark …
A bear in my bed
Would keep me from sleep
For fear that it would eat …
I have no dread of the pussycat,
But what of the mouse and rat …
For the poor pussycat
Must be fed …
I do like dogs
Yet fear they would gobble up frogs!
I imagine the crocodile’s smile
As he lies, just like a log
Waiting for some cat or unfortunate dog
To pass by …
On second thoughts, perhaps I
Should wait for the rain to stop
For I can not chop wood in rain …
Strawberries and Cream
When a young lady eating strawberries and cream
Went and told me about her weird dream,
I said to her, “Lee,
That seems strange to me!”
As she covered me in strawberries and cream!
Miss Bangs’s Fangs
I met a young lady named Bangs
Who showed me her pearly white fangs.
My girlfriend Miss Moriah
Claims she’s a vampire.
But she doesn’t have fangs like Bangs!
My Valentine’s Date
A gorgeous young lady known as Kate
Has invited me on a Valentine’s date.
Her pretty friend Lou
Will join us too.
I wonder, should I invite my mate …
flâneur
When I met a young lady named Flair
Who said, “sir, you are merely a flâneur!”
I said, “I observe the street
And many people I meet.
But Flair, tell me what is a flâneur !”
Andy the Dandy
My friend whose name is Andy
Has a reputation as a dandy.
He thought Miss Mandy hot
And offered her cheap chocolate.
But Mandy she preferred a shandy!
Marr’s Scandolous Memoir
I know a young lady named Marr
Who is writing a most scandalous memoir.
She has just turned 22
And has already been through
Countless ripped dresses and tonight’s torn bra …
The Vicar’s Daughter
When the vicar’s daughter named Miss Lee
Said, “life is merely a tragic comedy!”
And she danced quite nude,
Which the congregation found rude!
I made her a nice cup of tea!
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.
