'POETESS

She couldn't afford a Barrett home
So she occupied a garret;
She scribbled down poems whenever she could
And some of them were pretty good.'

'I wrote a novel in Provence
(I was feeling slightly blue.)
I wrote it in instalments
Because there was nothing else to do.'

'When we dream,
Our unconscious mind is projected on a large screen;
My dreams are weird
And often worse than feared.'

'Slippery Stan
Is the man
Who will cadge drinks from you all night long
And never feel he's in the wrong.'

'HOMAGE TO ALDOUS

The house is sold now and I am glad of it;
And remembering that music, those dances,
Those distant afternoons, I could have wept
But instead I slept.'

'Modern life is tameness,
Modern life is sameness;
Modern life is blameless
And modern life is aimless.'

'The weak and afflicted
Are invariably assisted;
I hope it's not too late
To save our welfare state.'

'I don't have any money
But I do own an expensive jar of honey;
Unfortunately you can't have your honey and eat it -
That's so true I think I'll have to Tweet it!

'The Rapture was supposed to occur
Sometime in October;
I was ready to participate
And made sure that I was sober.

But now October's over
And the Rapture didn't happen
So I've returned to following Formula One
And especially Max Verstappen.'

'The French think that Paris is Paradise;
I wouldn't go that far but I would concede
That when the sun is shining
It is at least twice as nice
As London.'

Because we're peripatetic;
Brexit is an abject farce
And Brexit is pathetic.'

The sun is behind the main tree;
As I do the garden clearance,
The moon has put in an appearance.'

Exposing her fanny;
It was faintly erotic
And slightly exotic.'
