You praised polyamory.

Sleep
On my way home
I pause for drink.

Forever stay

With verse from volumes
Full of musty scent.
But there is another perfume
Of which I sometimes repent
Alibi
A man whose name was Wood
Said my poetry was no good.
In the forest dark
His end was stark.
But my alibi it was good …
The Inadequacy of Verse
I heard a Blackbird
And did curse
The inadequacy of verse.
He knows not poetry,
Yet outdoes me
In verse.
Chancer
I awoke with a gorgeous lap dancer
Who said, “sir, you are a chancer!”.
I said, “dear Miss Follit
Have you seen my wallet?”.
She said, “sir, I’m also a chancer!”.
