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’.

There is a Lady I Hold Dear

There is a lady I hold dear

So much in my heart she stars 

Angel’s eyes survey me clear...

The Greatest Thing

The greatest thing is we are one

And with the fire of joy we glow

The worst thing – you’re unwell...
