Alice

There was a young lady named Alice

Who lived in the great Crystal Palace.

She was a naughty little minx

And into all kinds of kinks.

But Alice, she had absolutely no malice!

An Update on My New Poetry Collection

On 24 May, I made an announcement regarding my forthcoming poetry collection (please see here, https://kmorrispoet.com/2020/05/24/my-forthcoming-poetry-collection/).

My book is in the process of being proof read. And, as mentioned in the above post, I hope to be in a position to publish it by the end of June or at the beginning of July.

As a taster, I have included below a recording of me reading one of the poems which appears in my new collection.

Birds in a Tree

In spring

I heard

Birds sing

With such ecstacy

In a tree,

As I did pass

Along the woodland path.

They sang not For me.

Yet it filled my heart,

And I almost forgot

My art

In their, unconscious poetry.

When An Extremely Fat Old Whig

When an extremely fat old Whig

Called a young Tory squire a prig,

His opponent gave a big smile

And said, “sir, wait a while

And I will feed you another fig!”.

Sex with someone who is not part of your household to be made a criminal offence in the United Kingdom as part of new lockdown measures

The UK’s “Daily Mirror reports that:

“Sex in your house with someone from outside of your household is set to become illegal today.

The government is introducing new lockdown measures that prevent people from socialising (or gathering) with one person from outside of their household in a private space.

Up until now the person visiting a house for sex would have been the one in breach of the measures”. (See https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/sex-your-house-person-another-22117105).

Age and Youth

You say

That the aged

Should give way

To youth.

For the aged

Are from a bygone age

And have nothing to say

To youth.

You,in your early twenties,

So empty

Yet, so sure

That youth

Is the one and only truth.

Why should I engage

With a pencil jot upon a page

That a rubber, so soon obscures?

All Flesh is Dust

When a young lady named Rose

Said, “all flesh will, one day decompose”.

I said, “that prospect is fearful.

And you make me quite tearful,

As your standing right on my toes!”.
