In the Land of Smiles

In the land of smiles

Poets are free

To while away their time

In sweet poetry.

But a poet may find

His mind turn from rhyme

To bar girls who,

(strictly between us 2),

Have no time for rhyme …

When a Young Lady Said, “Lets Pretend!”

As we drove fast round a very tight bend

A young lady said, “lets pretend I’m your girlfriend!”.

I said, “in this sports car

You and I will go far!”,

She said, “remember that this is only pretend!”

Grace’s Place

When a gorgeous young lady named Grace

Invited me back to her place,

I met with the Devil,

Who was not on the level!

But I enjoyed my time with Grace!

The Sad Demise of a Poet

4 Replies

A man in a boat on a moat

Went and wrote a poem on his goat.

But the poem was not profound

And the poet he sadly drowned

And the police they are questioning the goat!

What is Reality?

2 Replies

I have dreamed

The strangest dreams

And believed them to be true.

 

 

When I die

Will I finally find the reality

Of all I see?

 

 

No, I will see

No more of dream

Or of what we call reality

For I will no longer be me.

Satisfaction

2 Replies

The birds outside

Are so easily satisfied

With stale bread.

 

 

My dog loudly sighs

As he eyes

That tempting bread.

But none can pass

Through glass to grass …

There Once Was a Poet in a Garret

There once was a poet in a garret

Who lived all alone with his parrot.

I regret his verse

It grew steadily worse

Until he was murdered by his parrot!
