OH GOODY
My wish is to get my poems published
And not because I want to be paid
And I will just have to persevere
Until I manage to make the grade
I will give up trying however, if I see
A book of verse written by Jade
FREDERICK BAZILLE
In the woodlands of burgundy
A bright light of impressionism
Was cut down by Prussian rifles
In the name of French imperialism
His corpse left decaying in a ditch
Found by his father under burgundy skies
A founder member of a movement
Unnamed until long after his demise
WHAT A GUY
November the 5th, bonfire night
The gunpowder plot of treason
Will from this day forward
Be know as five-eleven
SLOWLY SAM
Sam Peckinpah was a film director
Of films with action blood and gore
In celebration of his novel notion
He was duly buried in slow motion
THANK GOD FOR WINNIE
Winston Churchill saved the day
In his own inimitable way
He led us as we stood alone
Against Hitler and the rockets drone
WAR BY GEORGE
David Lloyd George when in power
Got it wrong whence came the hour
He took the decision behind closed doors
And led us into the war to end all wars
TURN ON COUNTDOWN DEAR?
I was watching Carol and twice nightly
Countdown with Vorderman and Whitely
When I told my wife where I am housed
That when watching Carol I got Aroused
I could tell that I had let down my guard
Her instant response was to slap me hard
She slapped me unconscious how absurd
And all I did was get a seven-letter word
YESH MUM
In a poll of the sexiest men of the last millenium
Sean Connery came top of the lot for my mum
This isn’t so much a poll though I would suggest
My mum considers it to be more of her to do list
STINGER
He’s a man from the north
Who can play and sing
Gordon Sumner is his name
But he’s known as Sting
About “Roxanne” and
“Walking on the moon” he sang
Leaving the Police to solo
Must have really stang
So will his name live on
Like the songs that he sung
Or when he’s gone
Will he just be known as stung?
DENNIS ANYONE?
Her dear husband was
The golden thread running through
His Margaret’s life
He was her rod and her staff
The iron ladies Dennis
