Of the average guy, I

Think you would find

Many a poor guy

With a black eye!

I Asked The Devil

I asked the devil, “wherein lies sin?”.

She answered me, “sir, sin, ’tis within

Both thee and me.

Now, my dear boy

Don’t be so coy.

And just tell me,

What would you like me to be!”.

Bittersweet

There are no ghosts amidst these trees

Just an autumn breeze. and bittersweet memories.

I Collected A Conker

I collected a conker

A few weeks back.

I have it still.

But will

Forever, lack

You who

Collected it with me.

Dog Shadows

I awoke,

With a start

To a bark.

But you spoke

Not. And now I pass

Your shadow, on the grass.

Young women lead men astray.

But I find writing

So much more inviting

Yet, on a hot day

Turn (’tis most perverse,

To something other than verse …

When A Young Lady Riding A Horse

When a young lady riding a horse

Said, “you and I must quickly divorce!”.

I said, “my dear Yvette

We have only just met.

And I’m here to shoe this horse!”.

When A Young Man Along With His Spouse

When a young man along with his spouse

Said, “I’ve come to shoot all your grouse,

In this fine old dining room ,

By the light of the moon.

I kicked them both out of my house!

I Heard Leaves Fall

I heard

Leaves fall.

Then, a solitary bird

Did call,

As I stood

In Autumn’s wood.

And I did comprehend,

Beauty, and a friend.

When A Young Lady Sitting On A Cushion

When a young lady sitting on a cushion

Said, “we need to have a serious discussion”.

I said, “that’s fine.

Have some more wine.

And I will join you on your cushion!”.
