There Was A Young Lady of Sri Lanka
There was a young lady of Sri Lanka
Who, being unable to master the Japanese tanka,
Composed a fine sonnet

The Future of the Audio Book
An interesting article on the future of audio books, https://goodereader.com/blog/audiobooks/audiobooks-ai-and-humans-where-do-they-stand.
Will AI (artificial intelligence) replace human narrators as the technology grows ever more human-like? AI is much cheaper than employing a human narrator.

A Young Lady Who is Sometimes Sporty
A young lady who is sometimes sporty
Has a reputation for being very naughty.
When on the field
All the men yield,

There Was a Young Man Named Ray
There was a young man named Ray
Who composed a fine poem each May.
For the rest of the year
He was drunk on strong beer.

When a Gorgeous Young Lady of Leeds

Said, “you men all have your needs …”.

But going off course
He encountered a horse
Who said, “that just can’t be done!”

A Shiver, a Sigh, a Smile: Audrey Driscoll’s Review of Leaving and Other Poems by K Morris

Leaving and other poems by Kevin Morris
My thanks to Hannah for reading and reviewing my recently released poetry collection Leaving and Other Poems, which is available from Amazon in Kindle and paperback.
A collection of poems touching on the brevity of life, and the ever-present figure of Old Father Time. Also, sprinkled throughout are a number of humorous verses, some of which may remind the reader of Edward Lear.
My Thoughts:
I love it when Kevin Morris brings out another poem book, I alw...
