The Coy Nymph

I met a nymph in a wood
Who was both fair
And good.
I said to her
“I wonder could …?”

In a manner most coy
She replied “my dear boy
The weather is hot
And I really should

Flame

I came

And full of desire
Extinguished your fire.

You wher hot
And needed me not,

My desire
Will expire
Leaving a broken candle
For another to handle.
But tonight
I delight
In the flame
I shall not name

Benjamin Disraeli

[image error]

I must confess to nurturing a soft spot for the novelist and politician Benjamin Disraeli https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Disraeli.

The second of the 2 quotes is, I believe correctly attributed to Disraeli. There is, however some dispute regarding the first, with some attributing it to Disraeli, while others attribute this witticism to Moses Hadas. I, personally like to think that Disraeli was responsible for both witticisms, although the consensus of opinion is in favour of Hadas as...

There was a young man named Baker

There was a young man named Baker
Who worked as an undertaker.
One day a corpse awoke
And gave him a poke.
Today he works as a cake maker.

The door’s always open…

A generous invitation from Sue Vincent.
