As the light
Slowly dimmed
I took delight
In birds.
“Oh my god!”.
But words
Are not birds.
As the Light Slowly Dimmed

The Squire and His Young Wife Moriah
Whilst visiting my dear old friend the squire
I was entertained by his young wife Moriah.
A housemaid named Spink
Gave us a wink.
I think that she’s close to the squire …!
Midnight Walk
Whilst walking home at just after midnight
I met a young lady in white
Who said, with a big smile,
“Do you think I have style!”,
And the graveyard was freezing at midnight …!
I Remember You 2
I remember you two.
One of you,
In my living room
(I forget who)
Waited for your friend.
Was there perfume?
I can’t pretend
To remember names.
Alone, I telephoned
And you came.
The Tombstones Stand Out White
The tombstones stand out white
In the sun’s light.
I wonder, as I go
Whether those now below
Lived their days in light?
And, when I go
Will those who pass
Along this path
Pause, and sigh,
And think as I?
Freedom
I hear the free
Wind,
And the birds sing.
And long to be
Free
As the unconquerable wind
And birds
That sing.
When I Attended a Large Swingers Convention
When I attended a large swingers convention
I sensed a good deal of tension.
My friend bishop Hocking
Stole the vicar’s stocking,
But the rest I’d better not mention …!
There Once Was a Vampire Named Keith
There once was a vampire named Keith
Who, on losing some of his teeth,
Visited a dentist called Lake,
Who used a great stake,
Which ended both Keith and his teeth!
The Trees Have Been Cut Back
The trees have been cut back.
The woods lack
The interplay of dark and light.
Day and night
The foxes bark in the park
Nearby, and I
Think of owls in the churchyard,
And nature who
Grows through
Our abandoned yards.
Whilst Playing on My Most Favourite Banister
Whilst playing on my most favourite banister
I got intrigued by a talking canister.
When the clever thing spoke
And told me a joke,
I almost fell off poor Miss Banister!
