In the Land of Smiles

In the land of smiles

Poets are free

To while away their time

In sweet poetry.

But a poet may find

His mind turn from rhyme

To bar girls who,

(strictly between us 2),

Have no time for rhyme …

When a Young Lady Said, “Lets Pretend!”

As we drove fast round a very tight bend

A young lady said, “lets pretend I’m your girlfriend!”.

I said, “in this sports car

You and I will go far!”,

She said, “remember that this is only pretend!”

Why are Some Kindle Books More Expensive than their Print Equivalents

Recently I attended a poetry reading during which a poet with whom I am unfamiliar read their work. After the reading I requested that they send me a link to their book, which they duly did.

 

On clicking on the link I was surprised and somewhat annoyed to see that the Kindle edition retails at £6.2  whilst the paperback costs only £3.2. The book in question is traditionally published so I strongly suspect that the author has had no influence as regards the respective prices, and I in no way wis...

Grace’s Place

When a gorgeous young lady named Grace

Invited me back to her place,

I met with the Devil,

Who was not on the level!

But I enjoyed my time with Grace!

The Sad Demise of a Poet

A man in a boat on a moat

Went and wrote a poem on his goat.

But the poem was not profound

And the poet he sadly drowned

And the police they are questioning the goat!

What is Reality?

I have dreamed

The strangest dreams

And believed them to be true.

 

 

When I die

Will I finally find the reality

Of all I see?

 

 

No, I will see

No more of dream

Or of what we call reality

For I will no longer be me.

Satisfaction

The birds outside

Are so easily satisfied

With stale bread.

 

 

My dog loudly sighs

As he eyes

That tempting bread.

But none can pass

Through glass to grass …

There Once Was a Poet in a Garret

There once was a poet in a garret

Who lived all alone with his parrot.

I regret his verse

It grew steadily worse

Until he was murdered by his parrot!
