HAMLETS BREAKFAST

Ah cold porridge! I think not, waitress: marmalade

Of infinite zest, on toast lightly browned. I’ll have

A pot of coffee black a Colombian blend and now how

About juice freshly squeezed and that’s it, thanks.

ANOTHER SENIOR MOMENT

 

My eyes require an examination

So, I have to visit to the optician

As I walk along, I can see the sign

So, for the door I make a beeline

As I walk through the door, I used

I pause, more than a little confused

I look around for a place to hide

As I’ve walked into the Nationwide

A CLOWN AT DINNER

 

To entertain the natives sent

A clown once to a jungle went

Natives entertained were not

And put him in the cooking pot

 

The clown is now well cooked

And very appetizing looked

Chief cannibal now took a bite

To satisfy his appetite

 

He could not place the flavour

As the meal he tried to savour

It’s not like antelope or bunny

Or does this clown taste funny?

BATSI

It was early in the

Month of June

I knew my trip

Would end to soon

 

In Batsi town

On Andros isle

I came to rest

And stayed a while

 

The northern isle

In the Cyclades

With sun and sand

And soft sea breeze

 

Bathed in the sun

And in the blue sea

Bathed in the beauty

Of the culture I see

 

I’ll miss the place

And people fare

The scent of herbs

On warm night air

 

The groves and vines

Of differing hues

The hills and valleys

And Aegean views

 

For one last look

I slowly turn

I don’t know when

But I will return

ANOTHER SURVEY

 

Another survey released today

Why they bother I fail to see

Saying that men prefer sex it seems

On days beginning with the letter t

So is it Tuesday’s and Thursday’s

Or tomorrow and today

JULIETS SAUCE

 

Oh Heinz, Heinz! Where is the Heinz?

Even my father has used the same

And if there is none, I will go without

As I will use no other ketchup

IN A QUANDARY

 

What a quandary to be in

I’m in a quandary quite acute

Why a Kamikaze pilot

Should wear a parachute
