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.

Grace’s Place
When a gorgeous young lady named Grace
Invited me back to her place,
I met with the Devil,

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

Or of what we call reality
For I will no longer be me.
