The Rude Ghoul

I once met a very rude ghoul

Who insisted on calling me a fool.

I said, “if you persist

I shall call an exorcist

And then we’ll see whose the fool!”

I Met a Young Man Named Lear

I met a young man named Lear

Who dragged me around by my ear.

I gave him a clout

Then, with a great shout

I fed him to hungry Miss Rear!

My Very Great Passion

I have developed a very great passion

For a young lady who loves fashion.

Her name is Miss Lou

And she wears 1 shoe.

Which she says is the latest fashion!

Miss Mar and the Vicar’s Spouse

I met a young lady known as Miss Mar

Who was speeding along in her brand new car.

She said, “I’ve left the vicar’s house

As I’m being chased by his spouse!”.

I said, “ah! That’s where you left your bra!”

Yvette’s Pet

I met a young lady named Yvette

Who asked me to be her pet.

She said, “join Varnish,

Whose wearing a harness”.

I said, “Yvette! We’ve only just met!”

I Leave Dry Leaves

I leave dry leaves behind.

Yet, I find

Leaves still whisper to me

Of my mortality.

 

 

Often they sound the same as rain.

I will return again

For they are part of my heart.

And poetry may live on

When I am gone.

While the rain will remain

 

 

I Once Met a Sad Old Vampire

I once met a sad old vampire

Who said, “I have lost all desire

To drink men’s blood”.

I said, “that’s good!”.

But I still didn’t trust that vampire!”

All My Fantasies

I find

Fantasies run riot

In my unquiet mind.

 

 

Sometimes in my dreams

It seems

That dark fantasy

Is reality.

 

 

But in unending dream

My fantasy

Will be clay.

When I Took My Labrador for a Walk

When I took my Labrador for a walk

We engaged in a jolly good old talk.

I said to him, “Apollo!

Your stomach is too hollow!”,

He said, “pass me that knife and fork!”
