Whilst in San Remo on holiday
I visited the graveyard one day
to find old Edward Lear‘s grave
and in these words my respects gave
I’m sorry sir but have you heard
everything you wrote was quite absurd
curious poems and stories tall
enjoyed by children and by all
you can be sure we will not forget
your wonderful nonsense alphabet

Watch new life erupt

His chirp continues
through the soft orange twilight
while street lamps waken.

While I was sitting in my room
from next door’s radio came a tune
a few minutes passed as I listened
feeling slow tears as my eyes glistened
knowing I’d heard the tune before
probably from some movie score
Barber’s Adaggio for strings apparently
which William Orbit arranged so fluently.

On crisp morning air
calm rhythmic breaths form soft clouds
birth of Winter mists.

Last Saturday we went down the pub,
later on, we carried on to a club,
imagine my surprise when I saw my sister
naked, pole-dancing in the, “Buena Vista.”

Discoveries found quite episodic
gave to us a list that rang melodic
so even those who would feel it all too much
of a strain could successfully remain in touch
and not appear to their peers quite so dense
as they recited the names of the elements.

I looked at my neighbour
and she looked at me
then she smiled, bowed her head
and asked if I could see
that we and all the the other posts
were painted quite brightly.
I asked her for the reason
and with a smile of glee,
she said tonight when the park is closed
we will dance round the old dead tree
Hare, knew the result
was a foregone conclusion
no point in rushing,
the triumph of the tortoise
became the stuff of legend.
In Western skies
Hyperion’s son
in fiery
chariot,
expelling dark eyed Luna’s,
cold nocturnal grip
