When a Young Lady Washing the Dishes

When a young lady washing the dishes

Said, “have you seen my pet fishes?”.

I said to her, “Claire!

You should take more care!

Your washing those fishes with the dishes!”.

 

When An Adventurous Young Lady Named Miss Fay

When an adventurous young lady named Miss Fay

Invited us all to play in the hay,

The squire’s Beagle

Discovered a needle,

And the squire made hay with Miss Fay!

A Much Widowed Young Lady Named Lake

A much widowed young lady named Lake

Has baked many men in a cake.

She is extremely pretty

And really quite witty,

But I really don’t fancy Lake’s cake …!

In Early December

In early December

November’s leaves still adorn

The woodland lawn.

Man’s pattern is made

In light and shade.

But the gardener’s rake

Rakes all leaves.

A Fallen Tree

On 3 December, I published this poem, https://kmorrispoet.com/2022/12/03/i-passed-a-log/. Below is a slightly reworked version of my composition entitled A Fallen Tree:

 

 

A fallen tree

Spoke to me

On a

December day.

 

Once it stood

In ancient wood.

Now I

Pass by

As December grows colder

And I ever older.

 

I Would Rather Delve

I would rather delve

Into dusty bookshelves.

There are other pleasures,

But the treasures

Of literature stay

While a girl’s smile

Soon fades away.

 

Yet, literature has no arms

And, on a December day

Young women’s charms

May tempt me away

From my dust covered books

To girl’s who’s looks

Must fade to dust,

Though today they may play.

I Met a Young Lady Named Marge

I met a young lady named Marge

Who posts lots of ads for massage.

And when I got there

A police constable called Claire

Charged me and Marge on a barge!

I Passed a Log

I passed a log

With my dog

On a December day.

Once it stood

In this ancient wood.

 

 

Now I

Pass by

As December grows colder,

And I ever  older.

As I Strolled Home One Dark December Night

As I strolled home one dark December night

I met a young lady dressed in white.

Her skirt being real short

I thought that I ought

To lend her my coat that cold night …!

 

On Observing a Traffic Jam

Observing a traffic jam

I am amazed

And give due praise

To this idol

From the bible

That we call progress.

 

 

For progress

Does redress

All our ills.

The traffic stills

And I

Walk by …
