Jane and Claire

Said, “your verse is far to mundane!”.
And I wrote a poem about her
And my mistress who’s called Claire,
I got warned by Jane’s lawyer Lorraine!

When A Loose Young Lady Named Bell

And then, dear reader, I fell!

An Elderly Gent Living in a Tent

Said, “I have all my money spent
On good living and young women
And now my hair is thinning.

When A Young Lady Of A Philosophical Bent

When a young lady of a philosophical bent
Invited me into her leaky old tent,
And she said, “men are full of lust,
And we are all but whirling dust”.
I said, “you should fix this leaking tent!”.

Physicists Say

Physicists say
That all this
Will, one day,
Fade away.
”Tis
A sobering thought,
So perhaps I ought
To stay
In bed today?

But the universe
Is still here
And, I fear
That verse
Does not pay.
Therefore I must
Put aside thoughts of whirling dust,
And go about my mundane day.

When A Young Lady Hiding In A Bush

When a young lady hiding in a bush
Said, “look, is that a blackbird or thrush!”,
An elderly gentleman passing by
Said, “oh my, oh my,
That is a talking bush!”.

Whilst Strolling in the Hot Summer Weather

Whilst strolling in the hot summer weather
I met a young lady of pleasure.
She stole my wallet and coat
Then rode away on a goat,
Whilst dressed in stilettos and leather!

When My Friend Whose Name is Mia

When my friend whose name is Mia
Said, “tell me what I want to hear!”.

And more than just pretty.
Now please give me back my beer!”.
