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’.

Last Day of the Month

The first day of the rest of our life 

For which with you the best summing up

Is pain, joy, love, a little strife...

Cass – 19th Birthday

Somewhere in the case – of strain

Of useless cares and unmeant pain

There lies a thought ‘nothing’s forever’...
