I Still Think of Girls

I stillThink of girls
With soft,
Yielding skin.
My curls,
They have turned from brown to grey.
I cough
And ponder on, the meaning of sin.

A Rather Elderly Gentleman Named Frank

Is extremely fond of a spank,
Whilst my friend Honey
Has plenty of money,
And she likes to visit Frank.

When A Young Lady Named Lin

A young man named Lyme
Was completely obsessed with time.
But a girl from Boulder,
With a dress off her shoulder,

Rewound

When the tick tock
Of the clock
Does stop,
I have found
That it is nothing profound,
For a clock
Is easily rewound.

When a Young Man Named Lee

When a young man by the name of Lee
Said, “there are plenty of fish in the sea”,
And I said, “do you mean the dating website?”,
He said, “that young lady Miss White.
That girl you should most definitely see!”.

Homer’s Odyssey from Penelope’s perspective

I have just finished listening to a great reading of Homer’s Odyssey on Audible, https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-Odyssey-Audiobook/B01AB07Y8O.

Back in 2015, I composed “Penelope’s Complaint”, which takes a humorous look at how the wife of Odysseus reacted on his return:

“Don’t give me all this stuff about sacking Troy.

You have been shacked up with some girl or boy!

You spin me a line

About men turned into swine.

I am sick of hearing of Circe

And your struggle to be free

Of her.

I’m fed up...

Empty

Men seek refuge
In strip bars
From the huge
Empty
Outside.

Girls lose their bras
And men think, “whore”.
Then depart, empty,
Inside,
As before.
