HER GRANDSON WAS AT UNIVERSITY

Her grandson was at university

And wrote he was learning Judo

Why a Christian boy would want

To convert she just didn’t know

MY PROSPECTIVE FATHER IN LAW

 

My prospective father in law

Finally fell in love with me

At the precise moment

He found out I had a BSC 

 

Why he was so excited

Is a real mystery to me

A bronze swimming certificate

Is that prestigious, really?

SEAT OF LEARNING

 

In those halcyon days at university

Our lively intelligence or our esprit

Meant heads were encouraged towards the noetic

But our hearts gravitated to embrace the poetic

Our fecund, fertile minds, proved greatly to suit

As our high-minded imaginings bore great fruit

Odds And Ends

SEAT OF LEARNING

In those halcyon days at university
Our lively intelligence or our esprit
Meant heads were encouraged towards the noetic
But our hearts gravitated to embrace the poetic
Our fecund, fertile minds, proved greatly to suit
As our high minded imaginings bore great fruit

GREEN HILLS

In the lee of the mountains with snow on the ground
Sits a quaint little village with hills all around
No sign can be seen of the green grassy hills
For they lay neath the snow in the wintery chill

But the people are happy and get on with their lives
All the brothers and sisters and husbands and wives
For they know that soon the snow will turn to rain
And then they will see their green hills again

IT’S LENT ONCE MORE

It’s Lent once more
A time to cleanse the soul
Empty the trash
And let Christ keep us whole

Clear the spam
Empty the buffers of sin
Deny yourself
And let the lord back in

It’s Lent once more
Pray to your saviour for peace
Cleanse your soul
Then your penance can cease
