Poet Kevin Morris Interviewed by Ariadne Sawyer of Vancouver Co-op Radio’s the World Poetry Reading Series

On Monday 7 February, I was interviewed by Ariadne Sawyer of Vancouver Co-op Radio’s the World Poetry Reading Series. During my interview I talked about and read from my recently released collection Leaving and Other Poems, which is available from Amazon in Kindle and paperback.

The show is scheduled to be broadcast at 9 pm (UK time) on Thursday 10 February. My interview takes place some 10-15 minutes into the show. In addition I read my poem “If My Clock Antique” at the end of the broadcast.

Fay’s Poem

When a young lady named Miss Fay
Composed a poem that was very risqué,
Me and Miss Rose
Took off our clothes –
Now we’re in that poem by Fay!

Miss Flow

I know a young lady named Miss Flow
Who works in a place known as Soho.
She dances on stage
With pretty Miss Page,
But my wife she forbids me to go!

There Was A Young Lady of Sri Lanka

There was a young lady of Sri Lanka
Who, being unable to master the Japanese tanka,
Composed a fine sonnet
Whilst Wearing a bonnet
As she danced on a large oil tanker!

A Young Lady Who is Sometimes Sporty

A young lady who is sometimes sporty
Has a reputation for being very naughty.
When on the field
All the men yield,
But sometimes she likes to be sporty …

There Was a Young Man Named Ray

There was a young man named Ray
Who composed a fine poem each May.
For the rest of the year
He was drunk on strong beer.
For some reason Ray Soon passed away!

When a Gorgeous Young Lady of Leeds

When a gorgeous young lady of Leeds
Said, “you men all have your needs …”.
I said, “I like an adventure
But this is a shopping centre,
And its freezing today here in Leeds!”

Birch

A young lady whose name is Birch
Is a regular at a certain church.
She owns a cane
Which causes great pain.
And the vicars fond of the birch …

There Was a Young Man Named Dunn

There was a young man named Dunn
Who decided to fly to the sun.
But going off course
He encountered a horse
Who said, “that just can’t be done!”
