On Being Stung by a Large Bumblebee

On being stung by a large Bumblebee

On a part you will never see!

I jumped in the water

With the vicar’s pretty daughter,

Who was nude as nude can be!

Engrossed in their Flirtatious Play

Engrossed in their flirtatious play

They stand behind the bar.

The place is quiet for a summer’s evening.

I am near,  and yet so far away.

Soon I will be leaving

Him and her together.

 

I finish my pint and leave alone.

Later, at home, I think on Larkin,

And whether they sleep together.

Its not my affair

But the poet’s  indelicate question

Intrudes into my rhyme

Of lost youth and passing time.

Kidnapped

When a vampire whose name is Kate

Kidnapped me on an evening very late,

I found myself in the gloom

Of a musty old tomb,

With the actor who was dating Kate!

 

Were I to Die Under a Bus

Were I to die under a bus

Family and friends would cry.

There would be little fuss

Over my literary legacy.

Those few who read my rhyme

Of women and wine

and passing time

May fancy they hear

Skeletons prattle in cupboards

And clocks stop.

But I will not reply

Content as Fish

Sometimes my thoughts are caught

In a Goldfish bowl.

Around and around they go

Until, tired of useless thought

I lose myself in talk,

Or empty pleasure.

 

 

But when alone, and at my leisure

My inner talk and thought

Runs around and around again.

 

 

At times I envy them, those fish

Who know naught of men

And their useless thought!

 

When my mind is quiet

I find an inner peace.

I shall watch the fish go round

And allow my thought to cease,

And be content as them,

In their watery world.

What a Caper!

When a young lady named Jane

Finished making love on a train,

An old man dropped his paper

And said, “Jane! What a caper!

Please can I see that again!”

Easy as Drink

Sometimes I think on girls who drink

In order to go through

With what they feel they have to

I see their bright smile

And hear their laughter.

 

And when men’s fun is done

I wonder, do some pause and think

How young women’s smiles

And laughter, flow easily as drink?
