AMERICA CASTRATO

Castro
Must go!
Says Kennedy
But the remedy
Turns goodbye
Into standby
For fifty years
It becomes too clear
Far from disappear
Bay of Pigs ear.

CO-CODOMAL DREAMING (part1)

I had a fight with a 10 foot man
And his 9 foot bride
Despite their might
No one won
Cos I was 12 feet wide.

THE ENTREPRENEUR'S NEW CLOTHES

She said, "Those trousers suit you, Sir,
The bag is free, no charge",
"But where are they?" I said to her,
"Oh, that's the camoflage".

PALETTABLE

Constable's colours were arresting.
Dali's quite doolally
Warhol's lasted fifteen minutes
Pollock's, quite the tally.

COURTING

I loved you when we first met
Though most of that was lust
Game and set in your love net
But match point for that bust.

THE RHYME OF THE ANCIENT PARAMOUR

I was told nowt rhymed
With 'opus'
But I'll find a good rhyme if
It chokes us.

I was told nowt rhymed
With 'purple'
Though a horses rear hind
Is its curple.

I was told nowt rhymed
With 'bulb'
And I switched off
Cos they were right.

RADIO SUM

You were sort of Radio 3
And I was Radio 1
Now we're much more
Radio 4 we make
The perfect sum.

A YEN FOR MY LOVE (title suggested by Henry Normal)

If love was currency 

Would euro to my shore?

Could I take you to dinar?

Should I pound on your door?

A peso the action

A lira light spank

Lek me be your lover

I'm not often this franc.

IN LIEU OF A HALLMARK CARD

We've never exchanged forced gifts
We've never sent each other cards
Three decades later and three kids
Our story still has its stars.

THE SPACE BETWEEN

It's not the tick and the tock

              It's the way that you fill
Of               
              The
The
              Space
Clock
              Between
