A Young Lady’s Sock

A young lady drunk on Hock

Walked around wearing only 1 sock.

When they said, “you’re nude!,

Which is so very rude!”

She said, “I’m wearing a sock!”

Celebrity

A celebrity who appears on my TV

Is looking for a date with me.

Her name is Miss Spink

And I’ve seen her wink,

And I know that winks for me!

A Young Lady’s Hat

When a young lady wearing only a hat

Went and invited me back to her flat,

And I said, “Rose!

Where are your clothes!”,

She said, “You’re silly! They’re at my flat!”

 

A Patch of Sunlight

A patch of sunlight on the hall floor.

I close the living room door

And the light is seen no more.

 

I know the night kills the light

And the ferryman waits to take

Me to the final gate

Where  there is no Cerberus

To prevent our escape.

Just what was us

And implacable fate.

My Literary Estate

I am marrying a young lady named Kate

Who will inherit all of my literary estate.

She says, “writers have money”,

Which I find really funny –

As she’ll inherit all of my literary estate …

The Last of the Summer Grass

The last

Of the summer grass

Is mown.

The future is unknown.

The past

May be a guide.

But we decide

What seed is sown.

But does grass

In the mower’s grasp

Feel itself free …

Work

Caught up in thoughts of work

I heard a bird sing.

I have been touched by beauty

And knowledge of my mortality.

 

 

He flies free

While I feel the futility

Of my work

When he sings.

Jacinta’s Splinter

When a young lady named Jacinta

Went and trod on a splinter,

She hopped all around

And said something profound.

And then she cursed that splinter!

Early October Thoughts

The wind is fresh

Carrying the scents of life and death.

While from a tree

The autumn leaves are falling on me.

 

I lose myself in rhymes

Of passing time

And others who once stood

In autumn’s wood.

 

My friend collects acorns from leaf-strewn lawns

Hoping that Oaks may grow.

Others may see the fully grown tree.

While we will not know.

 

If there is No Heaven or Hell

If there is no heaven or hell

Then one may as well

Give in to sin.

 

 

But they say Hell’s fire is hot

So perhaps better not

Play with pretty Miss Moriah.

 

 

Though I have heard the atheists tell

There is no hell.

So I’m going to heaven

With Moriah at 7 …
