The Lover of Fruit
Such fruits have I had.
Seduced by the juice
Of the just ripe pare.
Oh yes, I have been there.
Sometimes I have been glad
At the fruits I have had.
The soft peach
And the perfect pare,
Just out of reach,
Has driven me half-mad.
Oh yes, I have been there.
I know
How the low
Bough, laden with maiden
peach and pare
Calls, And how easily it falls
Into the hand of the lover of peach and pare.
Oh yes, I have been there.
Such fruits have I had.
Seduced by the juice
Of the just ripe pare.

Conservatism and “Progress”
“Conservatism is more of a mindset than an ideology. It encourages scepticism when hearing about grand plans, abstract ideas and simple solutions for problems,
knowing that people are prone to overestimating their importance and knowledge on human affairs. Essentially, it teaches: don’t rush in. To judgement or
action”.

I Know A Young Carpenter Named Mable
I know a young carpenter named Mable
Who is willing but not always able.
When she came round to mine,
We enjoyed lots of wine,
But she never started that table …

Through the Looking Glass
Through the Looking glass
We pass
And find
The White Knight
With a mind
Full of madcap schemes
And unhinged dreams.
There the Red and the White Queen
Rule over fools
As mad as the Hatter in Wonderland.
Will Alice take command
Of all, and pass
Back through this cracked looking glass?

When A Young Lady In A Bonnet
When a young lady in a bonnet
Composed a very fine sonnet,
And they said, “that doesn’t quite rhyme”,
She replied, “that is no crime”,
Then left to change her bonnet!

When a young lady in a bonnet
Composed a very fine sonnet,
And they said, “that doesn’t quite rhyme”,
She replied, “now I have the time,
I shall be right back on it!”.

There Once Was A Man Named Dan
There once was a man named Dan
Who loved a girl called Ann,
But Ann loved Bill
(Who was with Jill),
And Jill, she fell for Dan!
‘Tis The Quiet Time
‘Tis the quiet time
Before the sun
Does come.
I shall rhyme
Ere the day is done
And I become,
As one with the setting sun
