Today I turned 53.
Shall I make free
With women and wine?
Or stick to rhyme?
Old Father Time
Stands behind me.
The feminine and wine
Can not conquer time.

In Summertime Hyacinths Bloomed

Are alone
They have the phone.
Or the internet.

May easily buy
A fleeting pleasure.
Though some who buy
Repent at leisure.

When a young lady named Moore
Called me a crushing old bore
And I asked her why
She heaved a great sigh,
And then I heard Moore snore!!
Pam’s Pram
When I saw my dear friend Miss Pam
Pushing new twins in her very large pram
I remembered all that wine
And said, “are they mine?”
