Once green leaves
Are brown
On the ground.
Great trees
Wither and die
And I
See dead leaves
At my door.

Sky Who Married an Old Billionaire
When a young lady known as Sky
Went and married an old billionaire guy
And he died on the stair,
I just happened to be there,
And to marry that young billionaire Sky …
Lust
Sometimes the tide of lust
Sweeps my sense away.
But on this windswept day
I know my lust
Is but leaves and dust.
Sister White
I know a young nun named Sister White
Who takes me to her convent at midnight.
The Mother Superior
Calls me inferior
But I think she quite likes Sister White.
Paradise
You and I
Said goodbye
For a little time.
I walk through
Fallen leaves
And compose a rhyme
To Eve
And Paradise Lost.
There Once was a Detective Named Paul
There once was a detective named Paul
Who invited us all to a ball.
A girl called Sky
Gave me an alibi,
And of course I denied it all!
The Haunted Old Stair
As I mounted a haunted old stair
I met a young lady named Claire
Who took off her head,
And said, “I am dead!”.
That girl is forever blocking the stair!
Stand and Deliver!
As I walked down a dark street
I met a thief with big feet.
When he said, “stand and deliver!”,
I distracted him with hot liver,
And then I stamped on his feet!
Continuity
I touched a split tree
Which still stood
Reminding me
Of the Great North Wood.
I am of modernity.
Yet my heart
Is part
Of this old split tree.
There stands outside my window
Another tree
Here long before me
And when I go
Others seeing these 2 trees
May know they are part
Of nature’s great heart
And know continuity with me.
Miss Follett and Alice
As I strolled through London’s Crystal Palace
I met a young lady named Alice.
She and Miss Follett
Have borrowed my wallet.
Has anyone seen that Follett or Alice?
