On this page you will find a variety of short, sharp and sometimes sweet little lines.  Eventually I may even give these little fellows a category all of their own.

SHE’S AT IT AGAIN!

Mother’s writing poetry instead of watching me drive
We nearly went on the motorway, how will we survive
This driving lesson on ending; will we come out alive?

DON’T RELY ON A FLY

Never rely
On this thing called a fly
Because at it’s best
It’s a pest
And at it’s worst
It’s cursed!

I AM TRYING TO SLEEP

My muse….
       Get out of my head
       as I lay here in bed
       wanting to sleep instead
       of writing words to be read
                     ….by you if I choose.

MORE PLEASE!

I’m addicted to a certain Latin American appendage
You’d think I’d be much more sensible at my age!

A LITTLE SIGH

Even the mobile phone bill
Shows we don’t communicate
As much as we did.

PERIOD PAIN

If periods and poetry are alike, my daughter says,
She’s glad she hasn’t had one lasting 149 days

AH WELL

The day the beeps stop I’ll be sad
When the emails stop I’ll go mad
I’ll miss the love that we once had

A BROKEN DREAM

I lie awake at night
Crying silently over
Questions that won't go away.

THE UNKENT

A birlin’ swirlin’ breeze o’ the nicht
Swept owre ma face an’ gave me a fricht
An’ noo I cannae sleep at a’
For ma wee spectre winna gang awa’

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

Curiosity killed the cat
Left a bloody mess on the mat
And that was the end of that.

LATINO LOVERS CLUB

Now who on earth would believe
There’s a cyber aid to deceive
At world wide web Amorios
For all those Argentinean romeos.

BLACKOUT

I’m confused
The lights have fused
And I haven’t yet had anything to eat.

I’m amazed
I didn’t get fazed
I found the gin and it went down a treat.
