A Young Lady Who is Never Nervous

Is famous for giving a great service.
After a very quick drink
She said, with a wink,
“I’ll give that old banger a service!”

Reading Poetry in Bed

Reading poetry in bed
My youthful ideals fed.
A half-desire
For Kipling’s empire.
But sometimes I read
His Recessional in bed.

My friend whose name is Louise
Is known as a terrible tease.
Her best mate Bess
Will usually say yes,
But Louise is a terrible tease …!

I once had a lover named Moon
Who, on swallowing a very large balloon,
Said, “I have such a thirst!
That I fear I shall burst!”

An Ordinary Saturday

On my way
To eat breakfast
In a café
On an ordinary
Saturday, I heard birds.
While in Ukraine’s Kiev
Birdsong was drowned
Out by bombs.

(I stand with Ukraine)

When a Young Man in a Hurry

When a young man in a hurry
Fell into a big pit of slurry,
A chef named Jeff
Said to Miss Beth,
“Do hurry and serve him that curry!”

When a Young Man Named Mark

When a young man named Mark
Said, “go and clean this park!”
A girl called Gale
Grabbed a large pail
Which she emptied all over Mark!

Anticipation

A girl’s bare
Arms. The charms
Of scented hair.

Her leg
Touching mine
Is divine.

But I know
That in bed
Its often so-so.
