A love in verse

School for Scandal

Performed by
Garnon Davies

All week I’ve worn this wig and dress

And watched the camp convoy of scandal pass

And asked “For such fey art could I care less

Strutting on heels, so far from my dear lass?”


There’s just one curtain-up I want to see – 

Two lids rising above two marvellous eyes 

The world’s no stage but just a set for me,

A background for the two blue stars I prize.


I’d take the littlest part, however mean,

So long as you are with me in the scene.

Sonnet: We Argue

We Argue – harmony has some bum notes

Uninterrupted bliss is not our scene

My poems suggest our love has nothing mean...

Sammy & I

Sammy’s lying on your side

At last I think she feels you there

An answer to her feline prayer...
