All the Bongs

There once was a man named Wong

Who spent all his days going bong!

An old Grandfather clock

Begged him to stop

As he did those bongs all wrong!

The Bed Tester

I met a young lady of Chester

Who is known as a bed tester.

When I found her in mine

It was after much wine

Singing songs with a jester from Manchester!

Jealousy Among the Vegetables

There once was a Gladioli called Gladdis

Who fell in love with a radish.

But a jealous old cabbage

Turned really quite savage,

As he loved that Gladioli named Gladdis!

 

 

 

 

There Once Was a Poet Named Hind

There once was a poet named Hind

Who said, “the best is all behind!

My once great verse

It grows steadily worse!

And the critics all kick my behind!”.

The Suspected Literary Criminal

Burglar Caught in Rome Mid-Heist While Taking a Break to Read Homer’s The Iliad

Its heartening to know that there exist those of a literary bent in the criminal community!

To be serious for a moment. If this (suspected)thief is convicted, and whilst imprisoned develops his love of literature,  it is to be hoped that he will “sin no more” on his release from jail.

Some years back, (before Covid), I visited Brixton prison with friends to eat in the restaurant run by some of the prisoners. The idea behind the restaurant was to teach the prisoners skills so they could obtain gainful employment on their release into the community. Whilst the preparation of food is not the same as developing a love of the written word, hopefully our (alleged) literary thief will, if found guilty,  develop his skills in a direction other than house breaking whilst in prison.

For anyone interested in the Clink charity which runs the restaurant in Brixton prison, you can find out more here Brixton – The Clink Charity : The Clink Charity

Youthful Passion

Their youthful passion unlocks.

She loses shoes and frock.

Then the vicar knocks …!

Arty

When I attended a singles swingers party

With the great and the somewhat arty,

A young lady named Claire

Tied me up with Flair.

Those knots they were really quite arty!

Miss Ice

A young lady known as Miss Ice

Has a reputation for not being nice.

Her real name is Coral

And she’s so very immoral!

But to me she’s always been nice …!

Shy Guy

I met a group of young women

Who spoke of the joys of sinning.

But I, being shy

Hid in a pie

With the beautiful and talented Miss Winning!

Bad Poetry

When a rude and unfeeling young lad

Said, “your poems are so very bad!”.

I wept full sore

And said, “tell me more!”,

As I soundly thrashed that lad!
