ALL ENCOMPASSING

 

A compass point

Will show due north

And knowing where north resides

Let’s you find your way

To all points due

This differs greatly

From a moral compass point

Which only has one position

And always points you to

“Do the right thing”

A VOYAGE ROUND MY FATHER (4)

 

My dad told me

“Susan’s going to Indonesia”

So I said “Bali?”

“Oh no, she’s not a dancer”

EPIDEMIC TO PANDEMIC

 

The UK swine flu cases

Have now reach sixty-two

But the shocking news

That’s being kept from you

Is of the 35 million

Confirmed cases of man flu

CRIME WATCH

 

To reduce rising crime

There are criteria to meet

One of which is of course

More “Bobbies” on the beat

 

Preventative measures help

Taking precaution certainly

Locking doors and windows

Fitting alarms and CCTV

 

But the only certain way

For your possessions to remain

And for streets to be crime free

Is to stay indoors and pray for rain

JIM PANSY

 

Tim can see,

Jim Pansy,

Gym handy

Limb’s bandy

Tim can see,

Jim Pansy,

A chimpanzee

OUT IN THE COUNTRY

 

Driving down country lanes

Top down, wind in my hair

The sun gracing the sky

The wind set fair

The smell of hay,

Freshly mowed

Beasts in the fields

Beyond hedgerows

Blue cloudless skies,

On a glorious summer’s day,
The only blot being

The cyclists in my way

POETS OF YORE

 

Great poets, wordsmiths of yore

Prose and rhyme did write

Of matters that went before

Viewing them in poetic light
