There Once Was An Old Man of Peru

There once was an old man of Peru
Who fell into a pot of hot stew.
When they said, “are you cooked?”.
He said “I have long looked
To be cooked in a pot of stew!”.

Sent the bishop an extremely erotic letter
His wife called her loose,
And his daughter turned puce.

Some People Just Don’t Appreciate Free Verse

When a young man driving a hearse
Composed a poem all in free verse
A corpse in the back
Gave him such a whack,
That he went and crashed that Hearse!

Blackbird

I see the sun shine
Think on the divine
And the tick tock
Of the ever-present clock.

I hear the blackbird
Who has heard
Not of clock,
And my fleeting word.

Has a passion for the old squire.

And swims with seals.

Snow

All alone we go
Waiting for the snow
To softly fall
And cover all.

The wise understand

Into that quiet land
And greet the snow.

A Daring Young Lady from South Ealing

A daring young lady from South Ealing
Likes to hang from my bedroom ceiling.
I say to her, “Claire,
We must stop this affair,
Before you bring down my bedroom ceiling!”.

There Once Was a Fine Fireman Named Jim

There once was a fine fireman named Jim
Who was not what one would call slim.
He used his hose
On the vicar’s nose,
As he preached of the dangers of sin!

Windblown Flowers

Windblown flowers.
Lost hours.
I know,
How a flower’s stem,
Is so,
Easily broken, by men.
