Caught up in my dark thought
I did walk
Through the churchyard without any light.

My Dear Friend Whose Name is Apollo
My dear friend whose name is Apollo,
Says, “I’ll lead and you will follow!”.
He likes butchers shops
And juicy lamb chops –
As he’s a typical Labrador is apollo!

A quiet time
To rhyme
At my desk.

‘Ere morning’s glow
Does show.
Though no
Man can know.

On cantaloupe melons.
A lady said,
“These cantaloupe melons
Are like snakes.
Alone in my bed
I considered her mistake …
Miss Bland
I met a young lady named Miss Bland
With whom I had a one night stand.
That spinster Miss Hocking
Found it real shocking.
But to me it was really quite bland!
Hogg’s Poetic Dog
There once was a man named Hogg
Who was famous for his poetic dog.
He lived in the lakes
With ducks and large snakes,
But they say I imagined that Hogg!
