ARE YOU WEARING A RED WIG?

Are you wearing a red wig?

I know you’re not a natural Redhead

So, if that’s not an ill-fitting wig

It’s a very bad dye-job instead 

MENAKA

 

Menaka, Apsara

Of the clouds and waters

In Hindu and Buddhist mythology

A celestial nymph

And celestial maiden

A beautiful supernatural being

Youthful and elegant,

Who dances to the music

Of the Gandharvas,

In the palaces of the Gods,

Entertainer and seducer

Of Gods and men

An ethereal being

Inhabiting the skies

PICKUP # 13

When you’re on the pull

If you want to break the ice

Say something funny

Or say something nice

Be complimentary

Or just lie in your endeavour

Be devastatingly witty

Or say something clever

“Well Baby I don’t mind saying

The way you wear that frock,

That I'm no Fred Flintstone,

But I could make your Bedrock!”

I LOVE YOU BY ANY MEASURE # 5

 

I love you by any measure

You might wish to use

But I don’t know how to express

The way I feel about you

And the affect you have on me

So, I hope this gives you a clue

If they gave out medals

Just for love untold

You would get the bronze

Silver and Gold

LIFE BEGINS AT 40 # 2

Don’t be scared of being Forty

Meet the milestone with defiance

You’re no really forty, but eighteen

With twenty-two years of experience!

THE PROBLEM WITH LYING ABOUT YOUR AGE

The problem with lying about your age

It’s not the deception you deplore

It’s when they all believe you and

You regret not knocking off some more

THE BIG FIVE ZERO # 2

 

At the age of fifty you're officially

Over the hill, but worse than that

You are partway down the other side

Sorry if that leaves you flat
