I bought hyacinths yesterday.
Their scent
Will stay
For a brief time.
And I rhyme
Of repent
And lost hours
Midst passing flowers.
But I
Will buy
Joy and pain,
Of hyacinths again.

Lady Lake
When the elderly and great Lady Lake
Said, “sir, you are a terrible rake!
And as for Miss Hocking,
Please give back her stocking!”.
I said, “your ladyship makes a mistake!”.
Socks
She kept
Her socks on.
As you would expect,
No one wept.
Then she was gone.

There Once Was a Rather Famous Old PM
There once was a rather famous old PM
Who, on hearing the chimes of Big Ben,
Turned to his Special Adviser,
And said to her, “Liza,
Let us swing from that great pendulum again …”.
Heather
When a young lady who calls herself Heather
Spoke to me of the pleasure of leather.
I said, “on the moor
The stags they do roar.
And young men, they take pleasure in heather”.
There Once Was a Poet Named Hogg
There once was a poet named Hogg
Who owned a rather large old dog.
Oft, as the day grew dark
There would come a sharp bark.
In free verse, from that clever dog.
