MUSE-ON-THE-OTHERSIDE
The Romantic Loner poet
is the path that I chose,
though  have I not kept
loose company with those
who have made me a damn cynic too?
Muse of all my muses, oneday I shall lie with you.

MANY-PEOPLE'S-PEARLY-AND-
DIAMONDY-DREAM-PALACES
Furs and flash-cars,
diamonds and pearls,
a castle and houses
all around the world,
if win the lottery
the boys and girls
who say the rich are mean,
yet of such richness dream.

POET-SCREWED-BY-OWN-POLITICS
Wyston Hugh Auden,
poetry the communist's trade.
Come the Stalin and Hitler pact,
he wrote of 'a low, dishonest decade'.
And he buggered off to America
this man of York City born.
War had left England tattered,
and politics had left Auden torn.

BOWWOW-TINY-BENITO !
A communist then a fascist,
it's back to Italy I hark,
and to Benito, sure a bonehead,
a little dog with a big bark !

BREAK-FREE-OF-FEMALE-BONDAGE-
DID-A-DARINGLY-CLEVER-SUFFRAGETTE
Honours after a first class degree,
yes left her mark did Emily.
Vacated life beneath a horse
as came jockeys round the course.
Left her mark on history.
'Twas not the vote set her free.
'Twas a man jockeying for place
set her free from the human race.

DIVERSITY-DELETION
Like-minds link-up
on the internet.
Mutual agreement.
Single-minded set.
Numbers, numbers, is what they seek.
Opposing opinions? Press delete !

BOTH-SIDES-OF-THE-VAST-
COSMOS'S-COIN
Man and woman,
black and white,
love and hate,
day and night.

The material,
the spiritual.
Sage and fool.
All things dual.

BURN-THE-MIDNIGHT-OIL-DID-
OWL-LIKE-ACTOR-OLLIE-REED
Yes indeed, ah yes indeed,
get damn drunk would Reed.
Not for Ollie was Hollywood.
Here in Britain he made good.
Once had parted the camera crew,
down the pub for a British brew !

A-TWIN-BLADE-WRITER
"I read you, read you,
read you, my dear lord,"
spoke my orgastic pretty lady
"your pen is a double-edged sword !"

LADY LIBERTY
A liberated woman?
That's fine by me.
I like a spirit
who is totally free,
who's her own boss
and merits the ticks
that place her above
a meritless female's politics.

NO-ROOM-AT-THE-INN?
'Be fruitful and multiply'
till we're so out of space?
Until we are eye to eye
and in each other's face?
Till run out of damn room
has the whole human race?

PROMISES ! PROMISES !!
When promised utopias
turn out to be dystopias,
the wise will understand
there is no promised land.

NOT-QUITE-THE-CUT-PRICE-WHORE
For his lover he wrote a verse.
She turned-out a Moll Cutpurse.
Off with his money the villain ran.
He wrote the girl an epigram:
'What she did was not very nice,
I could've had a whore half-the-price !'

QUICK-SIZING-UP?
One-size-fits-all?
Some are too tall
while some are too small.
Some can think fast, others crawl.
