POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Comedy writer and also write serious stuff from the heart when I'm in the mood. Without humour life has no real balance and we take ourselves too seriously. I use humour as armour against the slings and arrows of outrageous circumstance. ;-)

Bear Country Walk
Hiking in Canada spring walk in the woods
Admiring the forest, smelling the buds
The group had lecture before they set out
About bears they might see and to be in no doubt
Stick to the marked trails, make sure at all cost
You obey the instructions and please don’t get lost
For safety wear this bear coat covered in small bells
To warn of your coming 'cos bears don’t like yells
Should one get aggressive then this pepper spray
Will frighten the brown bear and send it away
Aim it carefully and squirt right down its throat
You should be quite safe...

The Sins of the Father (Lues Contracted)
A crown to pay, a crown to stay
The night with whores bright painted
Then catch the stagecoach haste away
Your lustful body tainted
For know ye not what ye have got?
The harlot’s curse you hold within
Your faithful wife deserves it not
Yet she must pay for your foul sin
Oh treacherous man those vows you took
Worth but a shiny crown?
Scorned and sold for a single fuck
What value lives brought down?
And your young daughter now betrayed
Who will nurture more?
An orphan lost and though delayed
Must force...

My Treasure
I call my missus “treasure,” I love her with all my heart,
We’ve been wed these thirty years and never been apart,
My son asked ‘Do you her treasure ‘cos they ask where you dug her up?’
I clipped round his ear hole and said ‘No you cheeky pup,’
‘I call her my treasure‘ I said only half in jest,
‘Not because I dug her up but because of her sunken chest!’

Ah Sole!
The soul of my sole
Once whole now holed
They’ve had a good life
Shared by me and the wife
But now sadly gone
Only bought ‘em in '61

Nursing Nutz
Old Meg was in the nursing home she’d been there many years
And dearly loved the company of all the other dears
She had an electric wheelchair on which she used to race around
So fast she took the corners, only two wheels on the ground
Old George stepped out before her as batty as a fruit
Have yer got a licence if not I’m going to shoot
She flashed a toffee wrapper Ok said George that’s fine
I know that it’s a real one, it’s just the same as mine
Big bad Bill jumped from his door and loudly shouted stop
I want to see some insurance I used to be a...

Psalm of Isis
Twice daily the tide rises
Sweeps the sands of Isis
From the ancient beach
Beyond all reach
Ancient thoughts now lost
Attitudes unknown
Memories gone
Isis flown
Civilisation of another creation
Once mighty psalms of adulation
Swept your temples
Arose there the Song of Solomon
In days distant what wisdom now lost
Can never be traced, replaced
Meditate on this, ye seekers
And tides surge
But never the same sea or sand
Returns to land
The same thoughts may return
But in differing form ...
Sweeps the sands of Isis

In days distant what wisdom now lost

A Chorus of Cuckoos
Houses of parliament strangers’ gallery
Watching the performance of the dilatory
How have you lasted all this time?
Bloated swine
Yelling and waving order papers
Your stupid capers
Leading us to ruin what are you doing?
Populous vexed, perplexed wondering what next?
Do you work to a script, a text?
No you couldn’t make it up if you tried
Watching you I almost cried
Homosexual marriage? So what does the State
Say about the biblical order procreate?
How do you manage that cock to cock, twat to twat?
Not that I give a shit
As long...

Just Another Bum
Constable Eltoft shuddered slightly as he regarded the tramp lying in the doorway snoring. He hated dealing with these people they smelled awful and quite a few of them were aggressive too. He was alone and there were better things for him to do back at the station; a whole mountain of paperwork to complete. Well he thought, just another bum, looks like he's here for the night he’s not bothering anyone and judging by the smell he’s been on the meths too. He looked at the huddled figure laying on his cardboard bed his facial expression somewhere between disgust and contempt. Little did he know...

The Pop Star
So now you’re famous the fans dote on you
Every word you sing or utter is utterly true
Adulation adoration was what you once desired
Now it rankles irks and grates, makes you angry, tired
Can’t go to pubs can’t walk the streets
And the girls beneath your silken sheets
Want you but not for who you are
Not the man but just the star
They run to the papers sell their story
Of sex filled nights like Roman orgy
Steeped in alcohol swamped with drugs
It’s the lies, half truths that really bugs
Paparazzi crawl like vermin

Dad's and Daughters
Dad’s and daughters
Love at first sight
Oh infant bright
What dangerous waters
Will you navigate
On your stream of life
And grow mayhap
To be a mother, a wife?
Your purity lack of maturity
So engaging watching you grow
The father’s dread fears
You’ll never know
Trembling heart watching you start
First day at school and he’s a fool
For fearing for you
All will be well you’ll play your part
The birthday parties
Running yon and hither
Too and froe
Giddy as a whirligig
Energetic frenetic
As he counts...

Cuckold
Laugh clown laugh
Big boys don’t cry
What a wonderful lie
To live by
Would have been bad enough
You left me for another
But for my brother?
I’ve lost both of you
Nothing else to do
But laugh
At work can’t be seen as the sad jerk
Who wants to listen?
When thanking god
They’re not in my position
So don’t be the joke-bloke
Laugh clown use your cloak
Of impenetrable humour
They’ve heard the rumour
They know you’ve left me
I appear carefree
You took our child
I ache to hold her close
To smell the bath...
Big boys don’t cry
What a wonderful lie
To live by
Would have been bad enough
You left me for another
But for my brother?
I’ve lost both of you

But laugh
At work can’t be seen as the sad jerk

So don’t be the joke-bloke
Laugh clown use your cloak
Of impenetrable humour
They’ve heard the rumour
