Barking Up the Wrong Tree

When my dog friend said to me,

“You are barking up the wrong tree!”,

I said to him, “Mark,

I am unable to bark!

And you can not climb that tree!”

The Importance of Discretion

A young lady of a very ancient profession

Is well known for her tact and discretion.

I’ve seen her in town

With her friend vicar Brown –

They think I possess great tact and discretion …!

A Young Lady of Malta

I know a young lady of Malta

And no-one is able to fault her.

But back at mine

She crosses a line –

But nobody knows that in Malta …!

Love

I have heard girl’s giggle

As I walked alone

The hard stones

And thought on lover’s wriggles.

Then returned home

To my bed to lie

Where no lover’s sigh

And the emptiness of night

Grips me tight.

But when love dies

Lovers also cry.

Mermaids

There is much on display today

In the sultry city.

I am witty.

We chat of this and that.

She laughs. adjusts the rucksack

On my back.

I think on mermaids

And know I grow old.

Bill the Thief

There once was a thief named Bill

Who dated a young lady called Jill.

He stole her heart

And all her art,

So they locked him in a mill!

The Naughty Nymph

I’ve just met a very naughty nymph

Who winked at me from a plinth.

Her name is Miss Follett

And she has my wallet!

Dear reader! Have you seen that nymph!
