I once met a High Court judge
Who said, with a wink and nudge,
“I believe you know Claire?”.
I said, “take care sir,
Lest I sue you for slander, judge!”.

The Dangers of Sin
When a gorgeous young lady named Lin
Warned me of the dangers of sin,
Priggish Miss Coral
Called me immoral.
And then I went home with Lin …
As I Lay in Bed Last Night
As I lay in bed last night
I heard the heels of Miss White.
I said, “Come in”.
And my wife Lin,
Threw me out last night with White!
A Review of my Further Selected Poems
I was delighted to receive the following review of my recently published “The Further Selected Poems of K Morris”:
“Once again this author has delivered an enjoyable collection of poems, which are a pleasant mixture of different styles, with topics that are often either amusing or thought-provoking. “This Winter Sunshine” and “as I Go” are favourites of mine from this collection, along with “There Once Was A Turkey Called Paul” – the latter of which I found amusing. “To A Departed Dog” was my absolute favourite out of all the poems though, and really spoke to me.”

Anticipation
After the wine
And the polite
Conversation,
She is mine
For the night.
Anticipation.
Dissipation.
No real delight.

There Once Was a Girl Who Wore Shoes
There once was a girl who wore shoes
Who was far too fond of strong booze.
They would say to her, “Rose,
The winter wind it coldly blows.
Perhaps you should wear more than just shoes!”.
Claire and Miss Hocking
An attractive young lady named Claire
Is enjoying a most sordid affair.
Whilst naughty Miss Hocking
Has mislaid a stocking …
And I am busy with Claire.
Young Women and Fine Wine
A young lady drinking my fine wine
Said, “your company is far from divine!
But, give me more
And, I feel sure,
That fine wine will make you divine …!”
