THE PREDATORY MALE

 

The predatory male

As he hunts amidst the herds

Is only offended

By two four letter words.

The first one being “don't”

And “stop” being the other

And both words bring a halt

To his particular pleasure

Unless of course

They are used together

HE WAS A REAL JACK THE LAD

 

He was a real Jack the Lad

All flash and brash,

Living it large

And always splashing the cash

You might well be temped

But I advise nothing rash

If he tries it on give him the slip

And make a dash

SUNDIAL

 

The sun burned bright

Its rays struck the sundial

And cast a shadow

Shown in sharp relief

From the gnomon

Upon the brass dial

And as the straight edge

Reaches three o’clock

It’s time to go

ROYAL ETIQUETTE

 

If you can’t turn your back

On her majesty

How can the royal chauffeur

Drive her safely

WHY DO WE NEVER LEARN?

 

Why do we never learn?

We look back at past mistakes

And yet we do the same again

We view history

Without learning the lessons

Time and time again

But every time

History repeats itself

The price goes up

I GOT A JOB AT THE CARNIVAL

 

I got a job at the carnival and

The hall of mirror was my selection

But it wasn’t what I thought

And it was a bad choice on reflection

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

And the trains were delayed for hours
