WORLD-LOST-ITS-SPIN
I recall the girl -
very-long dark hair -
whom I would spy
down at Vernon's Fair.
Sat in a waltzer
she would spin,
and her fine looks
were dizzying.
Oh tide coming in,
out this life went she,
fine girl at the fair
by Saltburn's cold sea.
A GRAND OLD GIRL
she found 'girl' offensive
until she began to age.
Now takes it a compliment
from the old boys who rage
over her shapely figure,
over her looks still fine.
She'll even call them 'pet'
without dog or rabbit in mind !
LAZY LIFE-STYLE
The wife, she comes in from work.
The husband, jobs will just shirk
even outside of their house.
Leaves the children to his spouse.
Has her serve him cups of tea
with his feet up front of the tv.
Jobs are hard to find it is true,
but bone-idle folk are more than few.
PORK-PIE-PARTIES
The political-party pooper I
cannot subscribe to pie-in-the-sky.
STATESMANSHIP
Democracy, not dictatorship.
Freedom, not the slaver's whip.
CAPTAIN HOOK-LINES
There was a further Captain Cook,
and Peter was his name.
A captain of comedy
find truly was he
who rose on the wave of fame.
AN ASS MAGNET
Some girls are magnets
for all the wrong men.
The horse-shoe magnet,
that sure fits them !
THE-MASKED-BANK-ROBBER
Not only the gunman
wears a mask,
the bank girls smiles
are too, don't ask
why it is today
they wear real frowns
for I have heard
a robber's in town.
A STALLION IN AN UNSTABLE WORLD ?
Her lover was very-much like a centaur.
Offered, was her body, on a bed of straw.
"Make love," had said the hippies, "not war."
But after, he bolted out the stable door !
