Great waves
Turn to graves.
Although one may find
A ripple is left behind.
But I should not say
That waves go away
Lest I offend
Those who would pretend
That they, forever, stay.

Fantasies
I fantasise
Over fantasies
That will never be.
A girl’s eyes
May tease.
Or, just possibly, she
Desires to please,
But I,
Can not see.
When I Said To Moriah
When I said to Moriah,
“Have you seen the squire?”,
And she said, “yes, in a haystack,
As I lay flat on my back”,
I said, “that’s enough of that, Moriah!”.
When A Young Man Named Moore
When a young man named Moore
Said, “the poor will always be poor”.
His accountant, who was called Lou,
Said, “I must agree with you,
So lets raise their rents some more!”.
When A Young Lady Named Alice
When a young lady named Alice
Said, “you are so very callous!”.
I replied with great disdain,
“You never cease to complain.
Its nice sleeping outside, young Alice!”.
When A Young Man Who Liked Nostalgia
When a young man who liked nostalgia
Developed a very bad case of neuralgia,
He consulted a sage
From a previous age,
Who cured him of all his nostalgia!
When A Young Lady Named Kristy
When a young lady named Kristy
Said, “today it is very misty.
Its very difficult to see
Anything in front of me”.
I said, “you’re in the shower, Kristy!”.
A Young Lady Named Heart
A young lady named Heart
Said, “I’ll show you my art”.
So we entered her bedroom,
Scented with the sweetest of perfume,,
And there I saw her art!
Bowed
A tree branch, bowed
Half blocked the track.
I did not turn back
But ducked under.
There it stands,
Guarding the path.
Bowed by the recent wind.
Nature will have the last laugh,
Whether this tree
Outlasts me,
Or no.
When the Elderly Wife of Mr Ted
When the elderly wife of Mr Ted
Found a girl’s shoes under their bed
She said, with a sigh,
“I really don’t know why,
You must insist on wearing those, Ted!”.
