TO BE FAIR
To love your enemy
is to say all's fine.
How could I love
an enemy of mine !

DEMON DANCER ?
She danced to the jukebox
just in white bobby socks,
no shoes upon her feet.
The girl went wild, very,
to the sound of Chuck Berry
and that black guy's beat.
Some thought her possessed.
Exorcised, was a better guess.
Ah sixteen. How sweet ? !

CATS FALL ON THEIR FEET
Find I knew a girl
who was a ginger tom,
spent her dole on cats.
Oh what a throng !
Were these her harem ?
Men she wouldn't meet.
She cast away good-money
always to land on her feet !

THE DISTANT DISCUS THROWER
Is that a flying Frisbee
or a far-off flying-saucer
caught in your photograph ?
"It's my discus," says the thrower
coming closer to where we are.
No nearer to beings from afar ?!

ON-INDIVIDUAL-LIVING
She lives in the country
by a roaring waterfall
with which she's so familiar
she now hears it not at all.

He lives in the city
by a roaring wide road
with which he's so familiar
he no more hears the heavy load.
With noise they've been familiar
but only in this are the two similar.

ORIGINAL
Wish to be your favourite actor ?
Wish to be your favourite pop-star ?
Just try to be your own true self.
Originality can be better by far !

WHAT A WASTER !
Bobby Thompson,
the Little Waster he
who got big-laughs
for his Andy Capp-ery ?

A-GOING-SINGLE-GIRL
It is her own body
and she will decide
what to do with it.
Not as if she wants suicide.

Yes it's her own body,
she'll be no man's bride.
She will entertain men
in her own stride.

THE ROULETTE WHEEL
Most would like
big money win.
The wheel of fortune
the world in spin.

DARK CHOCOLATE
We two - oh
what a duo
me and her.
Now I'm solo
all's still cocoa
but without the stir.

A SOLO-POLO-SORT
Find I'm single,
yes I am solo,
I'm a journeying
Marco Polo.
From job to job
do I go.
From town to town,
from land to land,
I journey on
towards my end,
and - perhaps -
once there, beyond ?

GOING-ON-A-GRAIL-TRAIL-AND-TRAVELLING-
ADVENTURE-NO ?
Yes it's viewing-tourists galore
have visited Glastonbury Tor.
Did the Christ-child's small feet
England's green pastures meet
as William Blake asked before ?
Some shall consider it no tall tale
and wish to find a long-lost holy-grail.
