A QUESTION OF COURTSHIP

 

I like you very much and I am attracted to you

But something that I have quite often thought

If you wouldn’t mind my asking, is, are you chaste

And more importantly have you ever been caught

SWEET EXPECTATIONS

 

She is the most sugary sweet

Girl you could meet

In essence she is a perfection

Of a confection

She is a sweet sensation

She is a candy creation

She is a delicious bon bon

Need I really go on on

And to tell the honest truth

I have the sweetest tooth

And long to consume

In the quiet of her room

This soft cantered dream

Of peaches and cream

But like many a desire

That lights a man’s fire

Come the appropriate hour

The candy will turn sour

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
