My Friend Whose Name Is Rory

My friend whose name is Rory
Is an extremely high old Tory.
He lives in a skyscraper,
Where we’ve had many a caper.
But that’s a different story!

In Spring, Their Are Many Chances

In Spring, there are many chances
For dances.
Shy flowers
Have powers
Over men.
And when
They open
Words of love are spoken,
By lads who,
Sometimes, say what is true!

In Summer’s heat
Girl’s naked feet
Pass over grass
As they walk
And talk
With boys who
Say words, a few,
Of which are, probably true!

In autumn, young women
Frown
At men who, their
Minds on sinning
Say, “I do not dye
My hair
Brown”.
Whilst women well past girlhood
Employ expensive mud,
In order to engage
With guys, half their age.

Come wintertime
Poets rhyme
And philosophize
On pretty eyes
They may not have.
For the years have passed
And the lad
And the lass,
Are out to grass.

Of Romantics and Frantics

The first time
May be
As a rhyme
Betwixt
He and She.

Lips
In passion, fasten
On lips.
But not all poetry
Is written by romantics.

Frantics,
Partake for the first time.
Which is, to my mind
A kind
Of rhyme.

A Gentleman by the Name of Ted

A gentleman by the name of Ted
Said, “I’ve been lying on this deathbed
Since the beginning of the year,
But I’ve run out of beer,
So I’d better get out of bed!”.

When A Budding Young Author Named Cook

When a budding young author named Cook
Said, “how should I open my book?”,
I said, “just look beyond the cover
And you will soon discover,
What lies within that book!”.

On Entering My Spacious Bedroom

On entering my spacious bedroom
I smelt a sweet perfume.
‘Twas my friend Miss White,
Who said, “tis a beautiful night,.
Shall we admire the rising moon?”.

Strolling Through the Graveyard in Early April

Strolling through the graveyard in early April,
I enjoy the warm sunshine.
I am not sure of the divine.
Still,
A man may take pleasure
Whilst not knowing whether
Mother Nature, or the Creator
Causes the sun to shine.

Both are divine.
And a minuscule
Virus does wait,
Unseen by the eyes,
To seal the fate
Of the fool
And the wise,
For it does not discriminate.
