The weather grows
Hot. Girl’s clothes
Are short.
I aught
To recollect my age!
This brightly lit stage
Will go dark,
And the lark
Cease to sing.
Spring
And summer pass.
While lad and lass
Must pass
Before the darkening glass.
A beautiful young lady named Right
Is slim and dresses in white.
While a girl called Flair
Is forever washing her hair,
And miss Right is busy tonight!
When a policeman by the name of Lyme
Said, “I’m arresting you for a serious crime”.
And I said, “what I have done
Was done purely and simply for fun”,
He said, “sir, that was a terrible rhyme!”.
When the tender and lovely dawn
Entered my bedchamber this very morn,
I gazed at the sky
And pondered deeply on why,
Dawn tramples all over my lawn!
As a registered blind person and a user of braille, I believe that my books should be available in accessible formats, including braille.
“My Old Clock I Wind” is available in braille for loan or sale, from the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB).
To order please email library@rnib.org.uk, or call RNIB on 0303 123 9999 (quoting order number 25870603.
“Lost in the Labyrinth of My Mind” is also available in braille from RNIB, and can be ordered (as above), by quoting order number 25686204.
Due to the Corona virus, the RNIB transcription service is not currently accepting orders for the production of braille books. I am, however working with a private transcription company arranging for my recently released poetry collection, “Light and Shade” to be transcribed into braille.
If you are interested in obtaining “Light and Shade” in braille, please email me at kmorrispoet (at) gmail dot com, putting “Light and Shade”, Braille edition in the subject line of your message. (My email address is rendered thus in an attempt to defeat spammers).
All of my books are also available, with text to speech enabled, from Amazon, which ensures they can be read by those who are unable to read print.

When a young man named Bill
Said, “I am the great Churchill!”.
And he lit a cigar
With his girlfriend’s new bra,
She dumped that young man Bill!
It appears to be the latest fashion to attack those who can no longer defend themselves, including the great Winston Churchill. I was recently involved in an event during which one of the participants labelled Churchill as a “war criminal”.
Whilst Churchill did, as with all of us possess faults, he was no “war criminal”, nor can one equate him with Hitler as some remarkably stupid people have done.
Below are a couple of interesting article which counteract some of the accusations leveled against Churchill:
https://winstonchurchill.hillsdale.edu/white-supremacy/. (An article about Churchill’s alleged white supremacist views).
https://openthemagazine.com/essay/churchill-a-war-criminal-get-your-history-right/. (An article by an Indian historian in which he argues that Churchill was no “war criminal”).
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/feb/17/eugenics-skeleton-rattles-loudest-closet-left. (An interesting article which mentions Churchill’s support for eugenics. However the main point of the article is to highlight the left’s (including the Fabian Society’s) support for eugenic measures. I find it interesting that those who criticise Churchill are (for the most part) silent on the advocacy by many Socialists of eugenics policies in the early part of the 20th century. Double standards?).
When a naughty young lady named Gwen
Said, “I shall introduce you to BDSM”.
And I said, “what’s that?”,
She pulled off my hat,
And said, “Gwen, likes to discipline men!”.

The delight
Of a kite
Flown high,
In the sky.
And when she descends
Her “Friends”
Will help her fly
High, again.
And forget her pain.
He who buys
A kite
Flies high,
And may touch the sky.
But does that middle-class guy
(Who does not supply)
Share the blame
For a kite
That burns in flight?
