Unbrollied

The pleasure

Of hot

Weather.

Knowing not

Whether

The rain will come.

A cloud burst.

Relieves a thirst.

The rain does run.

But the pleasure

Of hot, wet weather

Soon is done.

And the wise,

Gazing into a stranger’s eyes,

Know that ’tis folly

To forget a brolly.

Yet, they still thirst

For the cloud to burst.

And the pleasure

Of hot wet weather

On unbrollied skin.

So take the rain in.

When A Young Lady Named Miss Lou

When a young lady named Miss Lou

Said, “sir, I really do like you!”.

I said, “that’s real nice.

But you’ve told me twice!

And with Sue it’s more than 2!”.

Lonely Train

I have no resistance

To the lonely train

Which calls

From the distance.

Nor to the rain

Which falls,

In this dark park.

Toryism

When a young man whose name is Rory

Said, “sir, I’ve heard your politics are Tory”.

I said, “your friend Monk

When a young man whose name is Rory

Said, “sir, I’ve heard your politics are Tory”.

I said, “that Miss Witty

Is more than just pretty.

But I don’t know if she’s a Tory!”.

Pleasure and Pain

A young lady whose name is Jane

Is an expert in pleasure and pain.

She is tall and thin

And fond of her gin.

And they say Jane owns a cane!

Choice

She left her heels on,

The points facing the ceiling.

Then,When she was gone

He pondered on

His feelings.

And choose.

And sexy shoes.

Thoughts in the Early Morning

The time

‘Twixt the dark

And the light.

A rhyme

About the start

Of the eternal night.

When A Naive Young Lady Named Eve

When a naive young lady named Eve

Said, “Steve, I order you to leave!”.

I said, have you no shame,

That is certainly not my name!

And this place is mine, Miss Eve!”.

Flow and Pearl

A young lady called Miss Flow

(whose mother I happen to know),

Is a very good girl

(unlike that Miss Pearl).

As all the young gentlemen know!

Possible Author Newsletter

A couple of days back, a colleague dropped me an email saying that she was moving on to pastures new, and asking that I keep in touch with news about my poetry.

My colleague’s email got me thinking (not for the first time), that I should, perhaps start an occasional newsletter concerning my poetry, books I have enjoyed reading Etc.

There are a fair few friends and acquaintences who enjoy my poetry but who do not visit my blog on a regular basis. Of course I can email friends on an informal bas...
