There was a young Conservative called Fred
Who dressed all in red.
His Socialist friend Yvette
Said “I have never yet
Seen a Tory turn so red”!

If I Told You What I Believe
If I told you what I believe would you call me a reactionary? A liberal, a socialist or some other name?
What would you gain
By labelling me an old stick-in-the mud
Who would
Put the clock back if he could?
Is that in fact what I wish to do,
For you may my words misconstrue
And find I play a game with you!
If you read my poetry through
From cover to cover
You may discover
That my view
Is of a world full of shades of grey,
So, I say
Enjoy when I tease
But please
Do not on my words seize
And put a label on me
For I am free
And simply me.
There Was A Young Man Called Jerry
There was a young man called Jerry
Who was overly fond of sherry.
He drank it all day
And his wife would say
“You will get no sense out of Jerry”!

There was a young man called Guy
Who worked in a pig sty.
He was rather posh
And would say “golly and gosh”

Graveyard
Often do I have cause
For thought, yet seldom pause
Here for long.
Perhaps it is a strong
Desire to forget my fate
Which leads me, (be it early or late),
Without a backward glance
Lest by some mischance
I see my own ghost,
To post-haste, exit the graveyard gate
And enter again
This temporary realm of men.
Rainbow
The rain does come and go,
Interspersed by the sun’s cheerful light.
I think there might
Be a rainbow
And, at it’s end
A pot of gold,
For the bold
Such as you and I, to find, my friend!
In any event, let us pretend.
(Note: I am not sure about the last line. However it can stand for now).
There Was A Young Libertine Called Mike
There was a young libertine called Mike
Who said “I can do as I like”.
He met an innocent girl named Dawn
Who’s father did warn
“I will end your life with this spike!”
