Gus and the Bus

When a daring young man known as Gus

Suggested we all make love on the bus!

And Miss Leven said, “Kevin!

Do take me to heaven!”.

I wondered, is it that kind of bus?

The Book Destroyer

There was a young man named Roy

Who said, “all these books I’ll destroy!”.

A bookish girl called Grace

Pushed over a heavy bookcase

Which flattened that young man named Roy!

There Once Was a Silly Old Duck

There once was a silly old Duck

Who drove around in a big truck.

When he drove into a pond

He got rescued by a blonde,

And they married in that big truck!

 

 

 

Sally and the Alley

I met a young lady named Sally

Who was loitering in a dark alley.

I’ve heard many a confession

And can show great discretion.

And Sally lives at 2, the Alley …!

Old Broken Bough

I recall

How an old bough,

Ready to fall,

Blocked the woodland path.

I passed

Pushing it away

On a winter’s day

As birds sang.

 

 

The bough still hangs.

It must fall.

And I will recall

How I passed

That old broken bough

On the path

And how birds sang.

Fay and the Hay

A most dissolute young lady named Fay

Pulls respectable gentlemen down in the hay.

In the farmer’s field

I had to yield

As she is very persuasive is Fay!

A Young Lady of Hong Kong

When a young lady of Hong Kong

Went and sang a very sad song,

A whale called gale

Raised her great tail

And beat on a large dinner gong!

Certainties

I duck as I go

For the wind has bent a bough low

And toppled a street sign.

 

A winter breeze makes random patterns with leaves.

The wind has no time

For our certainties and lines.

The Man and the Goat

There once was a man with a goat

Who went and wrote a very important note.

But the goat said, “I’m starving.

I will pay you 1 farthing!”.

So he did, and he ate that note!

Snooty Miss Glass

an extremely snooty young lady named Glass

Said, “you are so very working class!”.

My good friend Miss Kate

Said, “he owns an estate!”.

And now I am married to Glass!
