Light Fingered Jim

A thief who was tall and slim

Had the nickname of light fingered Jim

Until a girl called Pat

Set a cunning trap

Which did for that light fingered Jim!

The Song of the Siren

I was glancing through my archives earlier today, and came across this poem, which I am reposting, https://kmorrispoet.com/2017/04/03/k-morris-reading-his-poem-siren/

Miss Spink’s Love Letter

When a talented young lady named Spink

Sent a love letter in invisible ink,

And her lover called Ray

Said, “what does it say?”,

She said, “heat will reveal my kink …!”

Refreshed by An Early Spring Breeze

Refreshed by an early spring breeze

I pass trees

In an urban field

.

These fine trees

Will,  in all probability, outlast me.

But all will yield

For time he ends all rhyme.

The Poetical Young Nurse

I once knew a poetical young nurse

Who was fond of composing fine verse.

She wrote one on Paul

Who said, as I recall,

“Why are you writing on me nurse!”

Cemetery

So many birds sing

In early spring

As I pass by

These numerous tombstones

Where the dead lie.

 

 

You also passed

So do not know

That birds sing

In this early spring

Over old stones.

The School Ghoul

A boy who attended my old school

Once claimed to have seen a ghoul!

That place wasn’t Eton

So he wasn’t beaten.

But the headmaster called him a fool!

 

 

Spring Grass

The scent of spring grass

Enters through the window

As I lie in my hospital bed.

 

This day will surely pass

And I will go

Where the mower turns grass to hay.

 

 

I relish this spring day

And will walk in sun

As the mower goes to and thro

Until my rhyme is done.
