To the Woods
I danced with a bear
when I was young
we tripped through dreams
and drank the sun
ate strawberry cake
in our Sunday best
jumped in puddles
stole eggs from nests
I always knew the time
without a clock
and the names for things
I never forgot
What a naughty boy
such wilful ways
it's a wonder I
survived those days
Now I look back
with no regret
but I'm still convinced
there's better yet
The only thing
I'm sad to say
there ain't much time
to go and play

In that case, Gigi, you may also like a few other clunky old rhymers in similar vein.
Juice of June
Winter calling, winter calling
long nights by the fire
the spell of summer pales
as darkness claims the hours
I bottle what I can
and save it for the chill
hoarding hopes in memory
vain struggles all uphill
A sonnet for the snow
a castle keep of frost
every year's new crow
mourns feathers I have lost
Gluts that I once relished
poured plenty in my hands
but they may as well be dreams
in the grasp of time's demands
Pretty Girl Winter
How I bleed for Spring's green flush
to wave farewell to snow and slush
I long to feel kind summer's blush
and gaze at
pretty girls
Chill torments rain upon my brow
the shortest days grow meaner now
I long for leaf to sprout from bough
to ogle
pretty girls
In blackest night of thunder growl
through lightning flash and hailstorm howl
in step with cruelest demon's prowl
I yearn for
pretty girls
Abominations swarm like flies
long skirts and coats I so despise
would'st I could smite them from my eyes
revealing
pretty girls
The Hippo & the Jellyfish
The hippo and the jellyfish
sat down one day for tea
they mixed banana
cocktails
and danced beside the sea
The jellyfish grew tipsy
and the hippo gave a snort
I see you've gone all
floppy
what a queer fish I've caught
I better use a condom
the jellyfish replied
without the right
protection
you're in for a surprise
So if I float upon my bottom
the hippo shyly asked
will you sting me with
your willy
as you go swimming past?
Supersize Dreaming
To me it doesn't matter
if I'm fatter than a pear
or if my bum is twice as wide
as this midriff that I bare
When I walk I feel things tremble
while I trip the light fantastic
I envy all those skinny girls
their boobs restrained in plastic
But look, I'm just as sexy
I can shimmy, I can shake
I didn't plan to grow this way
it was all a big mistake
This blubber doesn't signal
the end of my desires
I only need some hunky tub
to stoke these hungry fires
My appetite for sex is still
as wild as it could be
though I admit the mirror holds
a bit too much of me
There's a toyboy on my block
who I dream about at night
I'm certain he would fatten up
so as a couple we'd look right
I'd keep him warm and hug him
he'd never feel the cold
if only I could pinch his bum
or would that be too bold?
But my pudding still needs stirring
and all the time I ache
I have to take my mind off things
with another slice of cake...
