UXORICIDE

When did the love die?

At what moment

Did love turn to odium

Was it that, once too often

He smelt the stench

Of ardours odour upon her

The smell of another man

On her clothes,

On her skin

That made him snap

Making him commit uxoricide

Snuffing out the life

Of his unfaithful wife 

SPANISH MAIDEN

 

The Spanish maiden with the come-hither look

Resplendent with curves shaped to arouse

A maiden possessing that perfect combination

Of come to bed eyes and a gaping blouse

OPPOSITES ATTRACT # 2

 

She was gracefully slender

He was overweight so not so

She was something of a wit

He was not known for his bon mot

She was an intelligent beauty

He was not either though

With absolutely nothing in common

What attracted them I don’t know

But caught on the kitchen table

Going at it with Gusto

Were the unlikely couple

Undoubtedly in flagrante delicto

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

SENIOR LIFT

 

I’m now officially old

And the tell-tale indicator

Is that I just heard

My favourite song in the elevator

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 42

 

Mary was a little flirt

Men followed her like sheep

But though she liked the attention

She fancied little bo peep

THURSDAY’S GIRL

 

Thursday’s girl

Ticket in hand

Adventurous travel

Has been planned

For her sojourn

To a foreign land
