You Won’t Get to Heaven

When a moral old lady named Nevin

Said, “Kevin, you won’t get to heaven!”

A gorgeous young sinner called Bell

Said, “Its more fun in hell.

And Kevin, I’ll take you to heaven …!”

A Fine Chest

When a young lady wearing a vest

Said, “do you like my chest?”

I said, “its so good to touch.

Do tell me, are you Dutch?”

And I stroked that fine wooden chest!

 

When a Young Lady Challenged me to a Fight

When a young lady said with delight,

“I am challenging you to a fight!”

I said to her, “Claire!

I am washing my hair!”

She said, “you did that last night!”

Vicar Large and the Barge

When I saw the good vicar Large

Making love to young women on a barge,

I just couldn’t stop grinning

And spoke of his sinning!

He said, “you’re paid to steer this barge!”

 

My Sugar Date with Kate

I once went on a sugar date

With a young lady named Miss Kate.

When it came to paying time

I recited a very fine rhyme

Which delighted the old waiter and Kate!

Chickens and Bottled Beer

There once was an author named Dickens

Who wrote a novel all about chickens.

It lay undiscovered for years

Among some old bottled beers

And a spinster who kept drunken chickens!

No Soul

There once was a young man named Mole

Who said, “I believe you have no soul!”

An old person called Neville

Said “I’m not the devil!”

And his eyes they blazed like hot coal …!

 

Red

When a young lady in red

Invited me to come to bed

I said, “dear Miss Moore!

This is a furniture store!

And the manager has turned red!”

Cerebral

A young lady who is really most cerebral

Said, “your poetry it is so very terrible!”

I said to her, Jane,

You have a great brain,

But your manners they are really most terrible!”

My Poetry Reading on the World Poetry Cafe

On Thursday 23rd October, I appeared on the World Poetry Café. During the show, I read several of my own poems, including “On the Death of a Writer”, which appears in my most recent collection, “Passing Through; Some Thoughts on Life and Death”. In addition, I read Philip Larkin’s wonderful poem “Ambulances”.
