When I Said to a Girl Called Lou
When I said to a girl called Lou,
“Have you seen my shoe?”,
She said, “after a night of great passion
It is the new fashion,
For a girl to retain a gentleman’s shoe!”.
Waves and Ripples
Great waves
Turn to graves.
Although one may find
A ripple is left behind.
But I should not say
That waves go away
Lest I offend
Those who would pretend
That they, forever, stay.

The Poet and the Prostitute (dedicated to Ernest Christopher Dowson)
Some girls say
“No way”,
(And mean what they say).
But others may,
(For pay)
Remain, for a time,
And forever be,
That anonymous she,
Immortalised in rhyme.

That will never be.
A girl’s eyes
May tease.
Or, just possibly, she
Desires to please,
But I,
Can not see.
Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key by Billy Bragg and Wilko
This song manages to be beautiful and humorous at the same time.
When I Said To Moriah
When I said to Moriah,
“Have you seen the squire?”,
And she said, “yes, in a haystack,
As I lay flat on my back”,
I said, “that’s enough of that, Moriah!”.
When A Young Man Named Moore
When a young man named Moore
Said, “the poor will always be poor”.
His accountant, who was called Lou,
Said, “I must agree with you,
So lets raise their rents some more!”.
When A Young Lady Named Alice
When a young lady named Alice
Said, “you are so very callous!”.
I replied with great disdain,
“You never cease to complain.
Its nice sleeping outside, young Alice!”.

The Limitations of Blogging for Poets and Authors
Yesterday evening, I fell into a very enjoyable conversation with a lady, during the course of which I mentioned that I compose poetry. She was kind enough to express an interest in my work, consequently I provided her with my business card, which contains my website’s address.
On being asked by the lady where she should start, I mentioned my poem “My Old Clock I Wind”. Having done so, I fell to considering how easy and/or difficult it would be for someone accessing my website to find a...
