When a young lady named Leigh
Said, “I’ll be honest with thee.
My sweet darling honey
I need some money”.
I said, “go ask a bee!”.

Socks
She keeps her socks on.
And, when she is gone,
I wonder, does she keep
Them on
In sleep?
Lin’s Sin
When a gorgeous young lady named Lin
Said, “you men are full of sin!”.
My old friend, bishop Ted
Said, “is that nightdress red?”.
And the sexton he stood for Lin.

Following on from my post of 1 July, https://kmorrispoet.com/2020/07/01/poet-kevin-morriss-interview-on-the-world-poetry-reading-series-is-due-to-be-aired-at-9-pm-uk-time-on-thursday-2-july/, I am pleased to announce that a podcast of my interview on Vancouver Co-Op Radio’s the World Poetry Reading Series is now available and can be found here, http://www.coopradio.org/content/world-poetry-caf%C3%A9-96.
My interview starts approximately 20 minutes into the podcast, and runs for some 15 minutes.
I listened back to my interview using Google Chrome, so know that Chrome works. However, as is so often said, other browsers are available!
During the course of the podcast, you will hear the interventions of Tommy the cat. He did, I think enjoy my poems, or perhaps his mews where his way of saying, “is there not something more interesting I could be doing, than listening to a middle-aged poet reading his poetry!”.

Curvaceous
When I dated a young lady most curvaceous
Who said, “good sir, you are very sagacious!”.
And I said, “thank you so much.
With young ladies, I always go dutch”.
She said, “I can be more than flirtatious …!”
Neef the Thief
There once was a man named Neef
Whose occupation was that of professional thief.
He threatened a lady from Bristol
Who, with her sword and pistol,
Brought that thief named Neef to grief!
Awaking in the Depths of the Night
Awaking in the depths of the night
I saw a girl dressed in white.
When I called her a ghoul
She said, “you stupid old fool!
I’m a vampire who likes to bite!”.
Miss Cook’s Book
When a young lady named Cook
Said, “come and look at my book”,
I entered her scented boudoir
Where, from under a bra,
She took a most delightful book
A Young Lady Eating Hot Buttered Toast
A young lady eating hot buttered toast
Said, “I am a most terrible ghost!”.
She had large feet
And really could eat!
And she stole my hot buttered toast!
