Moral Relativist

When a young lady that I once kissed

Said, “tell me, are you a moral relativist?”,

I said, “darling  Lou,

Would that bother you?”,

She said, “I liked it when we kissed …!”

When a Young Lady Wearing 1 Spectacle

When a young lady wearing 1 spectacle

Said, “Kevin, tell me, are you respectable?”,

I said to her, “Ria,

I have been called insincere.

But I have never been called respectable!”

Gossip

Heels at night

And creaking bedsprings.

 

A morning blackbird sings.

It’s song heard

By neighbours who delight

In what they overheard

The other night …

 

Tea Anyone?

When a young man using Chat GPT

Asked it to make him some tea,

It wrote about Ceylon

And hallucinated about Ron.

But he still hasn’t got his tea!

 

When I Met the Poet Milton

When I met the poet Milton

In the supermarket shopping for Stilton,

And I spoke of “Paradise Lost”,

He said, “have you seen the cost

Of all these cheeses, especially this Stilton!”

Pink Socks

When a young lady wearing pink socks

Walked into a shop full of clocks,

The shop owner named Lyme

Said, “it is high time

That you wore something with those socks!”.

The Joys of Cheese

When an elderly gentleman named Mr Foster

Choked on some cheese whilst in Gloucester.

A doctor called Louise

Said, “he liked cheese!

And he died whilst eating Double Gloucester!”

Kevin Morris Poet’s New Show on World Poetry Cafe

I am pleased to let you know that my new show on the World Poetry Café is now live and can be found here https://www.mixcloud.com/VictorSchwartzman/world-poetry-cafe-july-24-2025-kevin-morris/

As many of you will be aware, I am a regular guest on the World Poetry Café. However, I now have a dedicated monthly show, during which I read and discuss not only my own work but that of others. In this podcast, I read A. E. Housman’s wonderful poem, “On Wenlock Edge” and talked about the life of the poet. In addition, I also answered questions from the hosts regarding my view as to how people can best start their unique journey into poetry.

My segment appears approximately 15 minutes into the podcast, which also includes me reading several of my own poems.

Wet Mops

When young ladies waving very wet mops

Jumped and danced on the table tops,

All the old gentlemen cheered.

While I shaved my beard.

And the waiters they called the cops!

Only 9

When a young lady who is 9

Said, “all boys are far from divine!”,

And with her water pistol

Blasted them all to Bristol!

They forgave her as she’s only 9!
