Perfume lingers
On a sheet
Where cold fingers
Did trace
A girl’s blank
Face.
He said, “thankyou”
As he was wont to do.
Then she was gone
Though her scent lingers
On the sheet
Where cold fingers
Did trace
Her expressionless face.
The maid
Once staid
Was paid
So stayed
On going to bed last night
With my wife who’s name is White,
My blonde mistress Claire
Just happened to be there.
You should have seen them fight!
I heard
A witty word
And laughed outloud,
Proud
Of mine own skill.
But, when I am still
And hear the bird
That does cut at my heart
All my art
Is rendered absurd
I would like to send a heartfelt thankyou to all of my readers for liking, commenting on and buying my work during 2018. I wish you all a very happy and peaceful Christmas.
All the very best to you all

A young lady who’s name is Nell
Frequents a cheap hotel.
When she knocked on my friend’s door
At just gone 4,
But I promised not to tell …

When a young lady who’s name is Nell
Rang my girlfriend’s doorbell.
My partner, Claire
Screamed, “you are having an affair!”.
I said, yes, but its only Nell!”.
When I went to bed last night
I met a young lady called White.
Her friend Lou
Was there too
And said, it is sultry here tonight …”.

When I went to bed last night
I met a young lady called White.
Her friend Lou
Being there too
I wished them both good night …
There was a young man called Guy
Who said, “my works they will never die”.
But when I passed his grave
With my friend Dave
He asked, “who was that man named Guy?”
When a young man who’s name is Paul
Said “girls they all will fall”,
My friend Miss Spink
Gave him a wink.
As to why? I can’t recall …
—
When a young man who’s name is Paul
Said, “all girls will fall”,
A lady named Nell
(Who I know well)
Fell off my garden wall.
A young lady who’s name is White
Wears a dress both short and tight.
When a short-sighted man named Ted
Asked “is it red
She said, “no, but its far too tight!”.
