I know a young lady named Mona
Who is known for being a loner.
On her wedding day
She ran far away.
Please, has anyone seen my girl Mona!

Mona
When a young lady whose name is Mona
Asked that I please go and phone her,
I said, “my dear
You are already here!”.
So she left, so I could phone her!

Who liked to hit people with sprouts.

With cabbages to go with those sprouts!
Conscious of the Wind
The wind sings
In the trees
As I,
Alone,
Pass by
Gravestone.
Or, on the busy thoroughfare,
Oft, he catches me unaware
With piles of fallen leaves
And great boughs brought low.
And then I know
That all must go.
Claire’s Laptop
There was a young lady named Claire
Who kept a laptop in her hair.

With that laptop in Miss Clair’s hair!
We Chat Over Wine
We chat over wine
For you are mine
For this little time.
And we both know
How this will go.
This night
Must end.
And the polite
Call us boyfriend
And girlfriend.
Writing
In a half dream
Words grow
Then go
On my changing screen.
Oh! sweet sleep
Make me free
Of poetry!
But no, for poetry
Is me.

Who lived in a haunted old grange.
She called each ghoul
“You stupid old fool!”,
Which the ghouls found really quite strange!
