THE DALAI LAMA

 

In a vote for a leader of our planet

The Dalai Lama would be my bet

I would certainly risk a grand

If I were a Tibetan man

FOR MY 60TH BIRTHDAY

 

For my 60^th birthday

I bought myself a sports car

It’s my pride and joy

Not that’s it’s been very far

As there is a slight problem

An oversight I have to admit

I need a hip replacement

Before I can get in it

WHATS IN A NAME (29)

 

Does anyone think will Chris Reech?

Does anyone know can Bill Teach?

Did anyone hear Nelson Riddle?

I wish I could see Ricardo Fidel?

ISLAM

 

Islam has spread like a malignancy

Occupying every vault and hall

In every land across the globe

Where Islam’s dark shadow falls

There is conflict and civil unrest

Where always the innocents suffer

And when only Islam remains

They soon turn upon each other

I DO MENTAL ARITHMETIC

 

I do mental arithmetic

When I’m lying in my bed

I like to count the voices

I hear inside my head

SON OF THE SOIL

 

I found the topsoil two inches deeper

When I went to my allotment on Monday

I found the topsoil two inches deeper

When I went to the allotment on Tuesday

The next day as I approached my plot

My poor old heartbeat quickens

So, when the top soil was two inches deeper

I could only say “The plot thickens”
