When a Young Lady Named Lake
When a young lady named Lake
Leapt out of my birthday cake,

We Love the Wood

In glades.
But when light fades
And day
Is swallowed by night

While Drunk on the Finest Old Wine
While drunk on the finest old wine
I spied a young lady most Divine.
Her name it is Miss Spink
And she gave me a wink,
But perhaps that was merely the wine …!
She Took Her Headscarf Off
She took her headscarf off.
There was no real affair,
Just a loss
Of her cloth,
And gloss

I have taken fish
From ponds where poor vultures
Feed out of sight.
