Is known for wearing only 1 stocking.
Her friend bishop Ron
Wears the other one,
As he’s very broad minded like Hocking!

Gwen Who Likes S and M

Who is fond of S and M.
We met at a dinner party
With the great and the literati,
Who all deny knowing me and Gwen!

Your long nails brushed
Against my startled fingers.

Yet the memory lingers.

Akin to that old tree?
But there has been too much lop
And chop at our poor flawed humanity.

I fell into a rather large bathtub.
A girl with pretty eyes
Said, “sir, please don’t apologise.
And have you met Chief Constable Grub?”
