I’m glad I have been in your knickers

And I’m going again pretty soon

Things I would not tell to vicars

Make me happy and mad as a loon


Though you’re lovely and pure as crystal

And virtuous and terribly sweet

I’m glad that your person I’ve kissed all

The way from rich hair to fine feet


Let me go on a voyage, adored

Get ready soon to have me aboard.

Christmas With No Money

The winter afternoon’s dim 

Dimmer still the light through the pub window

Under which two wan people sit...

Away

I passionately long to stand, hands in the bowl

Washing up, looking out onto our sunlit garden.

I long to see a cat move sleepily and pause
