Content as Fish

Sometimes my thoughts are caught

In a Goldfish bowl.

Around and around they go

Until, tired of useless thought

I lose myself in talk,

Or empty pleasure.

 

 

But when alone, and at my leisure

My inner talk and thought

Runs around and around again.

 

 

At times I envy them, those fish

Who know naught of men

And their useless thought!

 

When my mind is quiet

I find an inner peace.

I shall watch the fish go round

And allow my thought to cease,

And be content as them,

In their watery world.

What a Caper!

When a young lady named Jane

Finished making love on a train,

An old man dropped his paper

And said, “Jane! What a caper!

Please can I see that again!”

Easy as Drink

Sometimes I think on girls who drink

In order to go through

With what they feel they have to

I see their bright smile

And hear their laughter.

 

And when men’s fun is done

I wonder, do some pause and think

How young women’s smiles

And laughter, flow easily as drink?

The Rain Stops and Starts

The rain stops and starts.

Lovers who never where lovers part.

No hearts are broken.

But had words been spoken

At an earlier time

Perchance this rhyme of mine

Would not end in friends parting

And rain stopping and starting.

See-Through

I met a young lady of Munich

Who said, “do you like my see-through tunic?”.

I said to her, “Rose!

You are wearing no clothes!”.

She said, “we dress like that in Munich!”.

In the Depths of the Churchyard Dark

In the depths of the churchyard dark

I met with a vampire named Mark.

When he went for my blood

With my great stake of wood

I ended that vampire in the dark!

When a Young Lady Said, with a Curse

When a young lady said, with a curse,

Do stop including me in your risqué  verse!”.

I said to her, “dear Lou,

Stop spanking me with your shoe!”,

Which caused that girl to curse even worse!

Lout

When a young man eating a sprout

Went and called me an uncouth lout,

I said to Lou,

“Pass me that shoe!

I’ll give that young man a clout!”
