I have known
In the biblical sense
Many young women.
I make no pretence
That their names
Where all known.

Modern Art
I know a young lady named Nelly
Who is famous for her smelly wellie.
We went to a gallery
With an artist called Valerie,
And exhibited Nelly’s wellie in a jelly!
Decorating
When a young lady who sat mixing paste
Said, “your poetry is not to my taste!”,
Just for a caper
I grabbed some wallpaper,
And stuck it to her using that paste!
As the Autumn Weather Grows Colder
As the autumn weather grows colder,
And I older,
The thought of warm bed clothes
With a Kate,
Or a rose
Still appeals.
I have known heels
To measure
My pleasure.
But pleasure passes,
For rakes and lasses,
And the graveyard grasses
Claim our name.
Easy Virtue
There is a young lady named Lou
Who is known for her easy virtue.
My good friend Dan
Is a generous man
Whose known for his charity to Lou …!
Miss Kipper’s Slipper
There is a young lady named Kipper
Who is famous for using a slipper.
I have heard tell
She does it well.
And the vicar he’s lost his slipper!
5 Degrees
5 degrees.
Wet trees
Drip yesterday’s rain.
The autumn came
Bringing acorns
And precious rain
To woodland lawns.
There Once Was a Man Named Ted
There once was a man named Ted
Who recited Chaucer standing on his head.
But a driver called Gus
Said “not on the bus!”,
So he quoted the great Dickens instead!
On Hearing Birdsong
On hearing birdsong
I am glad
That I am here
To hear
Their sad, glad song.
We die
And our love
Dies with us.
No, it lives on
When we are gone
In those we love.
And the birds
Sing on
With no care
For where
We have gone.
There Was a Young Lady of Bangkok
There was a young lady of Bangkok
Who collected many a fine gentleman’s sock.
Some men lost their shoes
Whilst drunk on strong booze,
But most of them lost a sock.
