Below are three humourous poems, and a couple of photographs taken by my friend Shanelle of my guide dog Trigger following a walk in the park.
Trigger smiling at the camera
Trigger beaming after his walk in the park
A very happy dog!
A young lady named Pam
Is well known on webcam.
My dear friend Jess
Wears a see through dress,
And she’s also known as Pam …
When a beautiful young lady named Liver
Said, “my sweet come hither.
I am not to blame
For my strange name”,
She set my heart aquiver!
My good friend whose name is Moriah
Has a most natural desire,
But being a gentleman of discretion
I shall make no confession,
Concerning me and my good friend Moriah …
A young lady by the name of Claire
Said, “life it just isn’t fair.
You say I’m your muse
But you continue to confuse,
Me with that girl with the messed up hair!”.
I know a young lady named Dawn
Who is a goddess in human form.
When I asked her out
You should have heard her shout,
“Stop trampling my father’s corn!”.
There was a young lady of Bath
Who made a most terrible gaffe,
When she mistook a silk rope
For a bar of soap,
And was found tied up in her bath!
A young lady whose name is Alice
Resides in Crystal Palace.
I’ve often seen
Our sovereign queen,
But I’ve never yet met Alice.
When my friend whose name is Claire
Said, “sleep knits up the ravelled sleeve of care”,
I opened my eyes with a start
And said, “bless my poor heart,
I was almost asleep there Claire!”.
When a rhyming poet named Hogg
Wrote, “the dog sat on the log”,
A lover of free verse
Said, “your poems are no good.
Rhyme is out of date …”.
