WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS

 

With marriage she got a mixture

Of happiness and stress

A husband and a companion

And a new name and a dress

SOLITUDE IS NOT A NEGATIVE

 

Solitude is not a negative

That’s something I’ve always known

And for the sake of your sanity

Escape the combat zone

And once in a while

Spend some time alone

AT LONG DISTANT HILLS

 

In my youth I looked fearlessly

At long distant hills

Squinting to bring them into focus

With a feeling of contempt

But old age has quickly delivered me

To those once distant hills

As now I stand before them

And I am fearful

Feeling contempt for myself

For not embracing every step

Along that short journey

But its only idle reflection

And regret is useless

For the hills are no longer distant

And now the race is almost run

ARE YOU WEARING LILY OF THE VALLEY?

 

Are you wearing

“Lily of the valley”?

It smells very much

Like you are Sally

So don’t deny it

I can tell that it’s true

“Lily of the valley”?

How old are you?

SINCE THE BBC SACKED ALL THE DALEKS # 6

 

Since the BBC sacked all the Daleks

Most are just scrounging off the state

But there is one working at the Uni

He doesn’t really communicate

And it scares a lot of the debaters

When it says Expostulate, Expostulate

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT # 2

 

Did you hear about the guy?

Who was guillotined and how

His whole left side was cut off

Obviously, he's all right now
