Just because I dislike
The people of Narnia

And the food was really trash
When we saw the astronomical bill
We did the Dine and Dash

As allegations are made afresh
But they all protest their innocence
Perhaps they were just pressing the flesh

What a peculiar thing to say
Of course they are sat in
No one can stand up all day

To an assistant who was chattin
She replied loudly for the whole shop to view
“No of course not, they’re new”

For the benefit of women everywhere
It’s a positive move long overdue
It was difficult to clean way up there

Which I have enjoyed if truth to tell
But every silver lining has a cloud
When the silence was accompanied by a smell

Is strangely charismatic
In fact he’s quite a colourful character
Which in truth is ironic

When she proper lost her temper
She stabbed me with a needle
But you know, I’ve never felt better

About his orthopaedic shoe
But I think he built them up
Too much in my view

So the rest are running around
Undiagnosed more or less

ON THE QUESTION OF INDEPENDENCE

On the question of independence
This is what I truly believe
The people of England, really
Don’t care if Scotland leave

ON THE QUESTION OF SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE

On the question of Scottish independence
They’ve worded it the wrong way
Don’t ask the scots if they want to go
Ask the English if we want them to stay

THE POETIC PAM AYRES

Wrote verse with a gag
And I think she looks
Like Benny Hill in drag

It seems to Wash away your cares
However the exception to the rule
Is when it’s running down the stairs

In search of some fashion-ism
To give some indication as to what
One wears for casual racism

I MET AN INTERESTING GIRL AT A PARTY

At first I admired her from afar
She claimed that just by knowing
The make of an individual’s car
She could discern their personality
Apparently I shouldn’t own a car

I WAS BULLIED VERY BADLY AT SCHOOL

I was bullied very badly at school
To it, my mind reluctantly returns,
I was hospitalized on one occasion
With full thickness Chinese burns

Spiritual Stuff

THE LIFE THOU GAVEST LORD IS ENDING

The life thou gavest Lord is ending
The darkness falls at Thy behest
And I know that I am bound
For my expected eternal rest

Please one last time let me kiss
My loved ones once or twice
And let me just say goodbye
Before I cross over to paradise

OPEN UP YOUR BARREN HEART

Open up your barren heart
Light a candle in the dark
And the shepherd of the light
Will stand for the righteous fight
The shining prince of peace
Shining like the Golden Fleece
Oh lamb of God, oh perfect light
Will banish evil from the night

THE GOOD AGAINST THE EVIL

The good against the evil
The great against the least
The light against the darkness
The lamb against the beast

PURE WHITE DOVE

Rare of wonder
Shouts to the world
Loud as thunder

LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Light of your heart
Light of glory
Light against the dark

What’s the story?
God of glory
Watching over us
It is forever thus

THE VICARIOUS VICAR

The Reverend Hinton
Brought many couples,
Efficiently and Happily
Through their nuptials

And he was content
Experiencing happiness
Thru the couples he joined
But felt alone nonetheless

For at the end of the day
He went on his own
To his empty vicarage
And sat home alone

EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD (11)

Where the two great oceans meet
I’ve sailed from the stormy southern isles
In the winter through the rain and sleet

The moment when we would meet

Because it delivered me to Sara

ALL OF MY ADULT LIFE

I have been searching and
Eureka! I have the answer

I should be looking for
Someone I can’t live without

TIME TICKS

Time ticks
Hearts beat

Alone again
Hour glasses empties
Grain by grain

Time ticks
Time flies
Only time now
For goodbyes

And to the Newfoundland grand banks
Where the hardy mariner dwells

IN THAT EXQUISITE PLACE

In that exquisite place,
Lying between
Sleep and wakefulness,
Night and day,
Fantasy and reality.
And not knowing
As senses heighten
If it’s a vivid dream
Or a sensual reality.
It is shear ecstasy

AWE AND WONDER

Awe and wonder
Fills my heart
As I stare at her,
I dream a dream
Of what could be
One day,
She could be mine,
Or maybe not
But it costs me nothing
Just to dream

ON THE HUMID EVENING

On the humid evening
The heady cloying perfume
Of red camellias
Filled the air
Confusing the senses
And amidst the scent of desire
I found in the moonlight
I was falling in love with her

A MOST GRIEVOUS SIN

A most grievous sin
To depucelate the purity
To sully and deflower,
Without the beauty of love
As an accompaniment.
Such deprivation of innocence
To taint and corrupt
And conspire in her defiling
Without romantic love
Is the province of the beast

EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD (10)

I’ve seen the distant far pavilions
And the land of the rising sun
I’ve seen Tierra del Fuego
And where all life was begun
I’ve seen the Pyramids of Giza
But now my travels are done
I’ve found what I’ve sought
And you my love are the one

OUR HOUSE WAS POOR

Our house was poor
But the land was rich
Mother Nature’s
Bountiful abundance
Rich in leaf and bud
Enriched in flowers
Many a summers’ day
I lay amongst grasses
And the wild flower stems
In scented meadows
That leaves me dazed
As the summer sun
Set alight the burning gem’s

THE WIND IN THE TREES

The wind in the trees
Sang a sad song
A plaintive sound
Like a crying child
And as it blew through
The crying leaves
On the rainy morn
Shed tears that fell
To the forest floor

TRANQUILLITY DESCENDS

Tranquillity descends
And sunshine reigns
When the storm abates
And peace remains

BETWEEN THE SEASONS

Although the sun
Shone high
In the dying
Summer sky
The east wind,
Strong and shrill
Carried in an
Early autumn chill

DARK CLOUDS CONCEALED

Dark clouds concealed
The firmament
The moon and stars
Still shone
Though not apparent
And heavens jewels
Remained, unseen

DAYLIGHT WAS DECLINING

Daylight was declining
As twilight loomed
As behind the horizon
The sun was consumed

WIND AND TEMPEST

Wind and tempest
Rain and flood
The chimney falls
With a thud
After the lightning storm
And booming thunder
Uprooted trees
Roofs torn asunder
But in the calm
As we convalesce
In the aftermath
There is a cleanness
