JUST-FRONT-YOUR-LIFE'S-
PERSONAL-PASSPORT-JACK
On the road (or en route)
don't leave your ID in the damn boot.

PUNKY PAULA
The peace is too much
and boring the quiet.
Paula makes a big noise
her hair a real riot.

POLITICIAN POEM
I met Mo Mowlam MP
who my magazine enjoyed.
As to politicians
she was the best employed !

TOE-KNEE-HAND-COCK
Ah yes, Tony Hancock in 'The Rebel'
as the very-cocky underhanded leg it devil !

GOLD GIRL GIFT
At the wedding ceremony
he gave his daughter away.
He didn't exchange her for money,
he didn't exchange her for pay.

No camels, no sheep, no goats,
as in some distant land.
The father gave his dear gift
to a surely now rich new husband.

IN-LIEM'S-LAND-OF-SMILES-YES
A red-sun's seen to set
purpling a vast blue sea
on the voyage that I take
into sweet and sour memory,
when I mixed with colour.
Ah lovely Liem and me !

FANCY FREE
She turns from men
though she's not ice.
Too many male-visitors,
but it wasn't vice.
Find Chinese curries
are now her spice.
A  hot take-away
is welcome. Nice.

IN-LIEM'S-LAND-OF-SMILES-YES
A red-sun's seen to set
purpling a vast blue sea
on the voyage that I take
into sweet memory,
where I mixed with colour...
lovely Liem and me.

SO-BLUE-WITH-THE-COLD-
WINTER-NO ?
Crackles the crisp brown leaves
upon the yellowing lawn.
An autumnal bonfire
before the nights are in-drawn,
and the wintertime too.
Nights, black nights, and a cold very-blue.
