When a talented young poet named Leigh
Said, “I want you to anthologise me”.
They put her in a book
Where you and I can look.
As she’s talented as talented can be!
—
When a beautiful young poet named Leigh
Said, “I want you to anthologise me!”.
They put her in a book
Where certain kinds of gentlemen look.
And don’t tell that mother of Leigh!
a young lady whose name is Lyme
Said, “please immortalise me in your rhyme”.
So I wrote of our passionate night
With a buxom young lady called White.
And now she’s immortalised in my rhyme
When a naughty young lady named Lou
Spanked me with her brand new shoe.
And she said, “are you enjoying?”.
I said,”your shoe your destroying,
And you’ve beaten me black and blue!”.
I stepped away from my rhyme
And, for a time
Did smile, while the eternal rain
Touched my fleeting hand.
A few will understand
This rhyme, and rain.
When a young lady named Claire
Said, “have you seen my pear,
Over there, in that bowl?”.
I Said, “bless my soul,
That is a very fine pair!”.
The morning after, the night before
I hear, emptiness’s baying roar.
I shall give in to wordplay
Which, helps the stretching day
Pass. I shall drink
My tea.
Watch the devil wink
And think
On 3.
A gentleman said, “your attentions must cease
Towards my sweet and naive young niece!”.
I said, “is that Miss Claire,
With her lovely long, blonde hair?”.
He said, “that is my other niece!”.
When a young lady named Louise
Said “do you like Chedda cheese?”.
I said, “indeed I do
But not when your shoe
Has walked right through that cheese!”.
A young lady named Gale
Wrote to me in braille
About a girl called Gwen
And the joy of BDSM.
So now I’m practicing braille.
2 girls chat,
About this and that.
One finds a sock.
It has not,
Been quite an hour.
“It was nice
Meeting you”,
The new
One says.
There are many ways
To play at dice.
