A Proposal of Marriage

I know a young lady named Honey

Who has found I’ve come into money.

She’s proposed to me

Along with Miss Lee,

But I can’t marry Lee and Honey!

The Fox’s Bark

Sometimes the fox’s bark

Pierces the dark

As our bodies meet

Under comforting sheets.

A girl’s soft kiss

And exploring hands

Can command my lust.

But your bark,

So cold and sharp

Speaks of dust.

 

Reinventing the Wheel

There once was a man named Neil

Who said, “I shall invent the wheel!”.

A young lady called Sun

Said, “that’s already been done!”,

As she rolled around with that Neil!

Discordancy

I can not write tonight.

I find my mind

Dwells on discordant church bells.

I think this discordancy

Is a part of me.

A Certain Charm

Young women’s heels click.

Clocks tick.

The weather is cold.

Girl’s arms

Have their charms.

I grow old.

A January Breeze

A January breeze

Whispers through trees

And winter grasses

And, as it passes

It speaks to me

Of my mortality.

I Met a Man Named Dorian Gray

I met a man named Dorian Gray

Who said, “my portrait it must pay.

With this sharp knife

I’ll end it’s life!”.

But it was Gray who did pay …!

Ramblings on Turning 55

What will survive from this present time?

Will poets continue to write

Long into the night?

Or will rhyme of the human kind

Be replaced by robots who trot out rhymes

Of indifferent kinds.

 

Rhyme of the human kind will survive

And continue to thrive.

While for better or worse

Robots will write verse.

But who owns what a robot writes?

 

The red pillar box will go, although

A few will remain to show

That there was mail long before email.

 

The world will move ever faster.

I hope eccentricity will ...

I Am Tired

I am tired.

Should I compose a rhyme

To women and wine?

I have desired

Both women and wine

But all pens run dry

And I

Grow so tired

Of rhyme

Of women and wine.

Musical Head

There once was a girl in red

Who liked to stand on her head.

When they asked her why

She would wink 1 eye

And play the drums with her head!
