Below are 2 poems from my recently released humorous collection, “My Friend’s Robot Girlfriend and Other Humorous Verses”, followed by links to the book on Amazon.

I awoke to a very loud knocking,

In bed with the beautiful Miss Hocking.

She said, “I can not pretend

That I don’t have a boyfriend!”

I said, “Is that him knocking, Hocking?”

—

When a young lady named Kate

Said, “Kevin, you really do procrastinate!”

I said, “I beg your pardon!

But I am doing this garden!

But perhaps the garden can wait…”

Kate Who Went Out on a Sugar Date

I know a young lady named Kate

Who went out on a sugar date.

But the man had no money,

Which we all found quite funny!

But she lacks any humour does Kate!

A Cry in the Dark

7 Replies

I open my window

And let in his cry

With the chill night air.

He is out there

Somewhere in the dark park,

Or the churchyard nearby.

I closed my

Window against the chill air.

He remained there,

(For how long I

Can not say).

Then his cry

Seemed to fade away.

A House of Stopped Clocks

A house of stopped clocks .

Where, when,

He attempts to wind them,

Wise men

Say, “why not try

Some new batteries today …!”.

In My Younger Days

In my younger days

I played

With many a maid.

Now my clock

Has stopped.

Yet still I rhyme

Of Father Time.

But all clocks wound

Must run down

When I Last Passed

6 Replies

When I last passed

This way

I recall no wall

Of wild wet flowers.

That bloom

In May

In the summertime

Flowers will bloom

Still. But in wintertime

Who will recall

This rain-kissed wall

Of springtime and rhyme.

When a Poetical Young Man Named Ray

When a poetical young man named Ray

Recited a poem which was most risqué,

A young lady named Hocking

Lost more than her stocking,

And me, I discussed poetry with Ray!

Dancer

A fleeting connection.

A middle-aged poet’s introspection.

You danced by

And I

Saw youth

And your love of art,

And felt an answering spark

In my poet’s heart.

There is truth

Of a kind

For you to find

Should you truly look

Behind my book.

You will dance away

And, at some future day

May remember a middle-aged poet

Who gave to you

Something of what is true.

Ron the Poet

When a poet whose name was Ron

Said “my poetry will surely live on”.

An old man called Brian

Warned him of a lion,

Which devoured all his poetry and Ron.
