Whilst Out On My Estate Shooting Peasant
Whilst out on my estate shooting peasant
I met a young lady most pleasant,
Who said, “why not shoot bird?”,
I said, “have you not heard
That peasant is more pleasant than pheasant!”.
When An Elderly Gentleman Named Sam

Dated a young lady named Pam,
And all her girlfriends looked askance,
He asked them to come dance!

When A Young Lady Named Lin
When a young lady named Lin
Jumped out from behind my bin,
And I said, “have you been sinning?”,
She just couldn’t stop her grinning.
So I joined Lin behind my bin!

Flat
She arrives, tottering
On heels. Her breasts pressed
Against her too tight dress.
He has been pottering.
And, on hearing the familiar click clack
Opens wide
The door to her
Claire,
(well, its something like that)
Slides in, wearing matching black
Dress and shoes.
They drink booze
And chat.
Then retire
To the place of desire,
Where the curtains flap,
And the booze goes flat.
A Young Lady Named Kirsty
A young lady named Kirsty,
Who was feeling extremely thirsty,
Took a job in a club,
Called the Oil and Rub,
Where gentlemen go when they’re thirsty!
The Boss
When a young man named Lee
Said, “my employees all hate me!
They haven’t yet been paid,
As out partying I’ve stayed!”.
I said, “have another brandy, Lee!”.

When A Young Lady Named Leigh
When a young lady named Leigh
Invited me round for some tea,
And I said, “will there be cake?”,,
She said, “you should make no mistake,
There will be more than tea!”.
What is Free Verse?
A good introduction to free verse on the blog Interesting Literature, https://interestingliterature.com/2020/02/what-is-free-verse-introduction/.

I Saw A Tree
I saw a tree,
Split, in 2,
Like me.
Long it had stood,
(And still grew).
And all it’s wood
Seemed good
To me.
So far as I could see.
He Called On Aphrodite
He called on Aphrodite
To keep him company
At night.
But she,
Being otherwise engaged,
Paged
Lizzie,
Who suggested Claire
(As Lizzie
Was busy
washing her hair).
But Claire
Being blind drunk,
Recommended a rascally old monk!
So, in despair
He contacted Joan,
Who told him where
To go, over the telephone!
