I used to sit upon this bench,

my arm around a comely wench

amidst all my jokes and laughter

I never got what I was after

but I suppose I didn’t even know

what I’d have done if yes turned to no

but in the face of such persistence

surprisingly we would leave still friends

no hard feelings on either side

nothing lost except my pride

It’s no exaggeration when I say

seeing the Pyramids just took my breath away

From the waves we emerge before sunrise

where a flight of stone steps before us lies

we ascend to the top and gain the land

just two lines of footsteps in the sand

but as the waves come in they will soon clear

leaving no trace that we were once here

no-one has seen us making our way

and now we are here, here we will stay

Although we think of this flower as blue

the periwinkle can be pink or purple too

butterflies love their shiny leaves

and they’re far too pretty to be called weeds
