Not far ahead there stood the hind
so he sank slowly to the ground
in order not to make a sound
his target had been hard to find
but the fates that day had been kind
raising his glasses to his eyes
he saw she had her fawn beside
and if they left the undergrowth
then he could surely shoot them both
because a camera never lies.

The sun rises in the morning,
banishing the grey mists of dawn
the rising sun greets the new morn,
in defiance of science scorning
crimson tinges and their warning
as Helios once again tries
to cast Selene from the skies
before inviting Mother Earth
to celebrate the new day’s birth
heralded by the new sunrise

Who will grieve when I am gone
I have no daughter nor a son
My wife departed long ago
Of my demise she will not know
Or care.
The end.

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

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.

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.”
