RETREAT-INTO-A-RAINSTORM
She's a Christmas cracker,
one I would like to pull.
I'm sure I'd get the push
for the girl's too beautiful.
The night has grown ugly,
my shyness is quite plain.
Time to leave the bar
and brave the stormy-rain.

THE CUCKOO SEASON CLOCKED OUT
A cuckoo I was to hear call
through the woods at Rushpool Hall.
The first cuckoo call of spring,
to my ears the sound was to wing.
Summer too has now gone in a breeze
with the green and lilac on the trees.
WILD(E) ABOUT HER ?
She was ever youthful,
such a beautiful display."
This wasn't a true picture
of Dorianna Gray !
A BURNING-GOLD AGE
The golden age of Elizabeth
still got burnings at the stake.
The welcome of a new age
could still bring some a foul-fate.

A WORLDLY-OYSTER
New breath from his caress,

the man gave the girl.
Her lover was heavenly-bliss.

in the grasp of a man of the world.

GIVING AND TAKING MEASUREMENTS
I am 6foot 1,
was near 6foot 3.
6 foot 1, girl,
age has done to me !
I take size 12

A size that's less
cramps my toes blue
like my blue eyes
which size up you !

WARM WELCOME
I was to meet you
at your ice-cold-igloo
though it was warm inside.
There was a yeti
who'd dropped by for tea.
His snowgirl white as a bride.
All this I dreamed
after I had been
to tea at your place.
The girl had been pale
as a wintery tale
and the guy had a hairy-face.
Yes the girl had been pale
as a wintery tale
told by a whispering ghost.
Outside was a storm
but your room was warm,
you the perfect host.
BOUND-FOR-HOME-THE-MAN'S-FROG
I met a strange man
walking his frog
(or should that be hopping ?).
I asked "Where's the dog ?"
He replied "Dead and gone.
I've got this new pet.
He leaves no hairs
though he's slimy and wet.
I keep him in the bowl
from which my dog had fed.
The dog used to lead,
now the frog is led.
He's such a slow mover
to be very fair.
By leaps and bounds
we're sure getting there."
A TITBIT ?
Have you heard
Britain's smallest bird
is the wren ?
The long-tailed tit
would have been it
but tail's length
here disqualifies
the smallest size.
ABSINTHE ADVENTURE AFTER AFFECT !
Absinthe - the green fairy -
we drank that night,
and away, oh away,
we pair took flight
into a dragon of a dream
to awake fairy or dragon green !
A-BROOKLYN-BRIDGE-BURNING-BLONDE-YES
The 'Brooklyn Bonfire' was Clara Bow,
silver screen "It Girl", film's 'nympho'
for many men deemed in-the-know !
Unlike a silent movie show
everybody's mouth was on the go.
The 'Brooklyn Bonfire' burnt bridges,
always a little rough round the edges.
TIDAL-TRIDENT-TRIUMPH
There's been a revolution,
much of the media was wrong.
The people have spoken,
the battle is now won
by all the Brexiteers
despite many MPs wishes.
Britannia rules the waves,
has forked the EU fishes.

THE LONGER LASTING MUSE
For the Muse of all my muses;
to the Muse I do now address;
you've been the most enduring.
You're this poet's gifting goddess.
ITS WANDERING MINSTREL'S TUNE
ON HEART-STRINGS MINE
Home is where my heart is.
So it be I may roam,
to settle down where I wish.
My body is my heart's home.
CARRIED TO HER CASTLE ?
The girl was against the rich
till she won the Lottery.
Now she's a right royal bitch
when in poorer company.
Work was for the damn-fools
whose taxes paid her bills.
She'd never worked since school
and now she never will.
LOFTY LINES ?
I know that you
think me aloof,
but, young lady,
where is your proof ?
Perhaps my head
is in another land,
you by my side,
your hand in my hand !
ADAM'S-ARTY-EYE-
AMIDST-A-GARDEN'S-BIG-TREES
Eve's in the garden.
Find her naked form
his eyes - with leaves -
Adam won't go adorn.
Hers is such beauty
and there he sees
that Eve's not wood
to cover with leaves.

A MORTAL MUSE-VERSE MINE
She loved the idea
she would last in my lines.
Would last in my verse,
would last in my rhyme.
Forever be the muse
who'd stolen my time.
How long is forever
as to my short rhyme ?
FAME-WAS-TO-FADE-TOO-ONE-DAY
She trod the boards,
turned up on page.
Her portrait was painted,
she was all the rage.
Find life moves along,
even the so-very-fair age.
But her fame lived on
like a phantom on stage.

SCOTTISH SNAPSHOTS
Top of the castle
in Scotland
we viewed Edinburgh
hand in hand.
The day was dull.
It was to rain.
We said that we
would come again.
But we fell silent
as the cannon
you photographed
with me leant on.
We never did
a new visit arrange
Unlike the weather
we sure would change.
THE GOLD-BRICK LIAR MOULD
They'll promise us the moon
or a land that is as gold,
the power-seeking politicians
who'll never break the mould.

and I will send roses red.
Yes I'll send roses too, a bed of roses.

BOOK BANNERS WERE BOTH
Delete, censor of redact
as with those made a pact,
the Hitlerites, the Stalinists,
two enemies of the capitalists
whom us books will not deny
because they'd have us buy buy buy ?
WENT THEY TO THE 'WRECKING' BALL ?
It was a St Trinian's fancy dress.
Girls turned up - hair a damn mess -
in gym-slips and school uniforms,
with guys impersonating the headmistress.
All were wrecked - of course - by morn.
PERSONALLY...
Words 'male' and 'female'
are becoming no more.
'Person' and 'they'

She'd not be his wife

Much younger than he

No, she'd not be his wife
