A love in verse

A Happy Chap

There is a happy chap called Pete

Whom Allie married, she’s so sweet – 

She understands each quirk (and worse!)

In both his life and in his verse

She’ll say “Look, where this line enjambs

Has got cocked up with your iambs”.

He says to her “My darling sweet,

Concern you give my metric feet

Makes me wish them (how it rankles!)

Fair as those beneath your ankles”

But, oh, their love is so complete

It makes one think ‘that’s quite a feat’.

Needs Must

All through the years every now and then

I’ve made my lists and packed my bag

To leave old Brentford town again...

The Constant Flower

I do predict the evening primrose stays

Alive in some last blooms to make for you

(And me) a sudden remake of the ray....
