To escape from anyone hearing

we chose a space within a clearing,

because we only had one chair

I sat on the tree stump that was there

then produced from my back pocket

enclosed within a golden locket

a multi-faceted sapphire blue

a token of my love for you

then you said that’s sweet but honey

I’d rather you just gave me the money.

My sister phoned me and said,”Guess where I am.”

I said, “ by the sound of it you’re in Siam.”

“Whatever makes you think that ?” she cried

“I can see through your video phone ,” I lied

“Well, you’re wrong, have another try,”

“Perhaps you’re watching, “The King and I, “

“Didn’t you want to come and see the show?”

“There were no more tickets so I let you go.”

She said, “That’s nice of you to think of me,”

But that’s what big brothers are for you see.

Only a fool can

hope for a life without fear

ignorance is bliss

The poor green man is at a loss

he has lost his cushion of moss,

if on a walk you turn quickly

you may see him hiding in the trees

but now he’s old and past his best

so even he sometimes needs to rest.
