When a young lady named Mia
Swung from my chandelier
My friend, Bishop Paul
Feared she would fall.
But she’s already fallen, is Mia!

When a Young Lady Named Henrietta
When a young lady named Henrietta
Said, “my hair it gets ever wetter!”,
I said, “you’ve been in that shower
For well over an hour,
And your Setter has eaten my letter!”.
The Sun’s Light Ends in Night
The sun’s light
Ends in night.
But when I express
It this way
Some will say
That I obsess
With death.
Yet one may
Take delight
In a summer’s day,
But not fight
The inevitable night.
The Poet in his Dressing Gown
Where you to see
Me,
Here, in my dressing gown,
Writing,
Would you find my mind
Exciting?
Or would you frown
And say,
“I never imagined him
That way?
He is not as slim
As he ought to be.
His feet are bare
But, his uncombed grey hair
Does, perhaps
Match
That poem on mortality.
I don’t know about his morality.
There are no young women
Hanging from the chandelier,
And no other signs of sinning
That I can see.
How very drear
As I thought there would be!
But, oh gosh,
That dressing gown needs a wash!”.
A Dentist whose Name is Ray
A dentist whose name is Ray
Said, “you have tooth decay”.
He took out a sledge hammer
And a very large spanner,
And I turned, and ran away!

When A Young Lady Wearing No Pyjamas
When a young lady wearing no pyjamas
Said, “I come from the sunny Bahamas.
My name it is Claire,
And I’ll take you there”.
I said, “But what about the Bahamas?”.
Half-Remembered Faces
Half-remembered faces,
Some forgotten,
Lost at the bottom
Of his mind.
Some were graces
And left
Traces
Behind.
He fancied himself bereft
But his heart
was never cleft.
Although,a few do,
Its true,
Live on,in art.
A Young Lady with Looks Most Glorious
A young lady with looks most glorious
Said, “I like it fast and furious!”,
So we went on the Big Dipper
Where she revealed herself as a stripper,
Which the judge he found quite curious!
A Young Lady Named White
A young lady named White
Enters my bedroom every night,
In a state of undress,
And my prudish wife Bess,
Always turns out the light!
