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

As Halloween Approaches
As Halloween approaches
The vampire broaches
The possibility of me
Coming round for tea.
She says, “its good
To eat black pudd.
But I never will partake
Of any kind of steak!”.

I shall use garlic shampoo
When I visit this Halloween.
Lou! Why do you scream!”.
Birds
An intense sense
Of my mortality
Comes to me
When I hear
The sweet clear
Song of birds.
Oft when caught
In useless thought
Or in empty words,
I hear the birds.
I see beauty.
And am free

A girl’s bare shoulder
And her sweet perfume
Still attracts. Distracts me.

Her call me “Sir”,
Morning becomes late afternoon,
As night draws near.

A Professional Young Lady Named Molly
A professional young lady named Molly
Is known for her ancient folly,
Where gentlemen go for tea
Each day at half-past 3,
And enjoy that young lady’s folly …
There Was a Young Lady Named Sky

Who said, “kiss me or I’ll die!”.
