When A Naughty Young Lady Named Lou

When a naughty young lady named Lou
Spanked me with her brand new shoe.
And she said, “are you enjoying?”.
I said,”your shoe your destroying,
And you’ve beaten me black and blue!”.

Claire’s Pear

When a young lady named Claire
Said, “have you seen my pear,
Over there, in that bowl?”.
I Said, “bless my soul,
That is a very fine pair!”.

The Morning After, The Night Before

The morning after, the night before
I hear, emptiness’s baying roar.
I shall give in to wordplay
Which, helps the stretching day
Pass. I shall drink
My tea.
Watch the devil wink
And think
On 3.

A Gentleman Said

A gentleman said, “your attentions must cease
Towards my sweet and naive young niece!”.
I said, “is that Miss Claire,
With her lovely long, blonde hair?”.
He said, “that is my other niece!”.

Louise and Her Cheese

When a young lady named Louise
Said “do you like Chedda cheese?”.
I said, “indeed I do
But not when your shoe
Has walked right through that cheese!”.

Keats’s Beaker

Perhaps I think
Too much on fallen leaves,
When I ought to drink
From Keats’s beaker.

Hemlock is not my friend,
Yet the nightingale, Keats heard
Speaks of beauty,
And life’s end.
