When Kafka Went and Wrote the Trial

When Kafka went and wrote The Trial

They said, “there can be no denial

That this book is strange

And the characters quite deranged!

And this novel is called The Trial!”.

In the Land of Smiles

In the land of smiles

Poets are free

To while away their time

In sweet poetry.

But a poet may find

His mind turn from rhyme

To bar girls who,

(strictly between us 2),

Have no time for rhyme …

When a Young Lady Said, “Lets Pretend!”

As we drove fast round a very tight bend

A young lady said, “lets pretend I’m your girlfriend!”.

I said, “in this sports car

You and I will go far!”,

She said, “remember that this is only pretend!”

Grace’s Place

When a gorgeous young lady named Grace

Invited me back to her place,

I met with the Devil,

Who was not on the level!

But I enjoyed my time with Grace!

The Sad Demise of a Poet

A man in a boat on a moat

Went and wrote a poem on his goat.

But the poem was not profound

And the poet he sadly drowned

And the police they are questioning the goat!

There Once Was a Poet in a Garret

There once was a poet in a garret

Who lived all alone with his parrot.

I regret his verse

It grew steadily worse

Until he was murdered by his parrot!

 

 

Speculate to Accumulate

FOWC with Fandango — Speculate – This, That, and the Other (fivedotoh.com)

 

I met a young lady named Kate

Who said, “you must speculate to accumulate!”.

So I spent all my money

On Kate and Miss Honey.

And now I own just a plate!

The Charms of a Young Lady’s Arms

I met a young lady of Sheffield

Who said, “all the men they yield

To the sweet charms

Of my warm arms”.

I said, “what! In this muddy field!”

An Innocent Drink

I met a young lady named Belle

In the bar of a seedy hotel.

We spent our time

Discussing rhyme over wine,

Now the papers feature me with Belle!

Everyone Needs a Good Workman

There was a young man named Nool

Who was famous for his versatile tool.

A spinster called Shilling

Employed him for drilling

As she’d heard of Nool’s versatile tool!
