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!”
A Shiver, a Sigh, a Smile: Audrey Driscoll’s Review of Leaving and Other Poems by K Morris
I was delighted to receive a 4 star review of my recently published collection Leaving and Other Poems:
“Morris has a knack for creating vivid pictures with few words. “The Lighted Department Store” is a perfect example. Reading it, I saw the cheerful lights of store and pub, I heard the shouts of drinkers and the clink of glasses, but at the end, I was reminded, comes darkness and silence.
The brevity and conciseness of these poems make this book perfect for readers looking for philosophical glimpses into life.”

There Once Was a PM Named Moat
There once was a PM named Moat
Who gave all dogs the vote.
A government minister called Joan
Gave them all a bone
But the dogs didn’t vote for Moat!

A Dog Who Had No Tail
A dog who had no tail
Made the poor vicar turn pale.
As the day turned dark
He would howl and bark
Until the devil returned his tail!
There Was a Young Lady Named Divine
There was a young lady named Divine
Who composed poems all of 1 line.
When drunk on strong beer
Her verse it would veer
But the critics all found her divine!
