I know a young lady of spotless reputation,
Who is a credit to this great nation.
She is very petite
And whenever we meet,
Night shrouds this great nation, and her reputation.

A Young Lady Wearing A Corona Virus Mask
A young lady wearing a Corona virus mask
Said, “some people they take me to task
For shopping whilst nude,
Which prudes think rude.
But at least I am wearing a mask!”.
When I Met A Young Lady Wearing Only High-Heels
When I met a young lady wearing only high-heels
Who showed me her pond full of pet seals.
I played on my flute
Which she thought real cute.
And she danced in her heels with those seals.

Foe
Some I have seen,
Are vanished, from the scene.
No doubt
Some are married now.
Few will shout
About the dance
Of foe-romance
We tripped together.
I wonder how,
Or even whether
A nameless she
Remembers me.
Clubbing
A young lady who had just turned 16
Said, “I’ll go out on the clubbing scene”.
So she donned her mum’s dress.
But a club bouncer called Bess
Said, “sorry darling, but you still look 16!”.
A Young Lady Whose Conduct Was Truly Licentious
A young lady whose conduct was truly licentious
Said, “my friends they all think me pretentious!
I have sheets of pure satin
And my cries are in latin.
And my lovers they all find me licentious!”.
Departed
I consider myself sane.
So must
Not call your name.
For you are beyond dusk,
And sun.
And rain.
But, where I to say,
In my old, familiar way,
“Trigger”. Would you come
In a run
To your name,
Through the sun, and rain?
When A Man By The Name Of Paul
When a man by the name of Paul
Said, “I have seen many an empire fall.
And I have a burning desire
For that inocent young lady Moriah”.
I said, “Moriah, she fell long ago Paul!”.
A Review of My Collection of Poetry, “Light and Shade”
I was delighted to receive the following review of my collection of poems, “Light and Shade: Serious (and Not So Serious) Poems” on Goodreads:
“A good little book of poems, some humorous and others more for contemplation. A lot of the funny ones had me chuckling to myself.”
