The Bus Driver
When a young lady driving a big bus
Married a man by the name of Gus,
All the passengers did shout,
“young lady, please watch out!
You should be driving that very big bus!”.
When A Young Lady Wearing Just Socks
When a young lady wearing just socks
Said, “sir, my nakedness it frequently shocks”.
I said, with a sigh,
“I regret that you lie.
As you’re dressed in very nice socks!”.
Autumn Leaves
We are told
The virus likes the cold.
And mankind grieves
For autumn leaves.
The Importance Of Book Reviews
A post by Chris Graham, (AKA The Story Reading Ape), on the importance of leaving reviews, https://wp.me/p3mGq7-yfz.
I am always grateful when a reader takes the time to leave a review of one of my books on Amazon, Goodreads or their own website.
It gave me tremendous pleasure when, during Christmas 2019, a reader contacted me by email and told me that she had enjoyed my “Selected Poems”, and that I had inspired her to write. So, yes, reviews are important to authors.

1 Meter Plus?
He sought bliss
In a kiss.
But, “Corona”, she cried.
“Your kiss is denied!”.
“What about a hug”,
He said.
“That is also denied”,
She replied,
“for a bug
May hide inside
A hug”.
“So is love dead?”,
He said.
“Perchance we may dance
1 meter apart.
But, to be safe
We must not embrace.
You have my heart”,
Said she.
“But, let us discuss,
Perhaps, for you and me
It really ought to be
1 meter plus?”.

A Goat Named Jane
Whilst swimming in a deep castle moat
A goat ate my brand new coat!
And when I did complain
She said, “I am Jane.
And you are the butt of this joke!
Whilst Sitting in a Builder’s Hut
Whilst sitting in a builder’s hut
With a mongrel named mr Mutt,
A goat called Hocking
Ate my girlfriend’s stocking.
And then, she ate that hut!
