Inside
You slip inside.
And in glide
And wet

There Once Was A Man Named Ray
There once was a man named Ray

A Poem From My “Selected Poems”
The traffic noise momentarily fades.
No words,
Just the singing of birds,
And a yearning for woodland glades.
(“Indefinable” can be found in my Selected Poems”, which is available here:

And then I kicked Prout out!

My name is miss Bess
And I’ve lost my dress.

A Young Lady Wearing 1 Stiletto
A young lady wearing 1 stiletto

I Once Had A Friend Named Hogg
I once had a friend named Hogg
Who lived by an ancient peat bog.
When I said, “your sister,
I just cant resist her”,
It ended in that ancient peat bog!

Meaning Is In The Eye Of The Reader
In response to a comment by me on her post entitled “The infinity of Destinies”, Veronica comments as follows:

Whilst swimming in the great river Nile
I met with a very large crocodile,
Who said, “are you an Egyptian?
And would you like a subscription,
