My Stroll Around Old Soho
As I strolled through dear old Soho
I met a young lady named Flow
Who said, “sweet honey
Do you have money?”
But I spied that old copper Joe …
Curious Fay
When a young lady whose name is Fay
Said, “tell me what your poems do say!”
I said, “come you near my dear
And let me whisper in your ear.
Sweet Fay, they mean what they do say!”
As I Drink My Red Wine
As I drink
My red wine
I idly think
On Dowson’s rhyme.
The poet took delight
In women and wine.
On this December night
I have my wine.
Webcam
A young lady who’s known as Pam
Spends her working day live on webcam.
Both her and Miss Rose
Expose more than their toes.
But my wife she’s broken my webcam!
Adam and Eve
There was a young lady named Eve
Who fell for a guy called Adam.
But she said, “its such a crime
As his name doesn’t rhyme with mine,
So I’ll marry his best friend Steve!”

And think on windblown
Words outflown
By birds.
Devious Dan and His Cunning Plan
There was an elderly gentleman named Dan
Who hatched a devious and cunning plan
Involving lots of sinning
With beautiful young women.
And his wife she brained that Dan!
I Met a Young Lady in Heels
I met a young lady in heels
Who said, “old Father Time he steals
The rose away
Nothing may stay.
Which is why I wear only heels!”.
On Hearing Sirens Pass By
On hearing sirens pass by
I think on Philip Larkin
And Rhyme
While I
Have time.
