As the rain fell
I thought of our love
Of rain.
You and I
Share the same sky.
But does love
Hide inside the rain.

When a Young Man with a Perm
When a young man with a perm
Said, “truly you are a worthless worm!”.
I said to him, “Coker,
You’ve always been a joker!”,
As with shears I chopped that perm!
Doze
As I
Grow older, I
Doze more
In my armchair.
I wonder
When and Where
I will die.
A Matter of Weight
When a young lady named Lin
Was accused of a terrible sin
An elderly judge called Katie
Said, “this matter is weighty”.
But Lin was really quite slim!
When an Elderly Spinster Named Anne
When an elderly spinster named Anne
Said, “is that a naked man!”,
A young lady named Valerie
Said, “it’s an art gallery!”,
Which disappointed that spinster named Anne …
Power
“Can I use your bathroom?”.
“Of course.
Do you want a shower?”.
She sprays cheap perfume.
“No, I’m okay”.
What is force?
And who has power
Over whom?
He has had an hour
Or so.
Now she will go.
A Case of Mistaken Identity
A young man whose name is Blair
Has a habit of calling me Clair.
But at half-past 7
I change from Kevin
And dress in the clothes of Flair!
When an Excitable Young Lady Named Lou
When an excitable young lady named Lou
Said, “I never thought I’d be here with you!”.
And I said, “my dear,
But now you are here”,
She said, “yes! That is undoubtedly true!”.
Rose and her Toes
I know a young lady named Rose
Who likes to show me her toes.
My wife Coral
Calls her immoral,
But she hasn’t seen Rose without clothes!
Westminster Cathedral’s Chimes
The passing chimes
Of Westminster Cathedral bring to mind
A former time
When belief in empire still burned strong.
Yet in his song
Rudyard Kipling foresaw
That the fire
Of the British Empire
Would burn no more.
Westminster Cathedral’s chimes
Will continue on
When I am gone
And Kipling’s great rhymes
Will be condemned
(As before)
By men
Who have never read
“Recessional”. and know not he foresaw
That the red
Of empire would show no more.
