For whom the Bell hotel tolls; pithier version
Their ma & pa were Eastenders

Dimwits just going on benders

I was cleaning my garden bed one day
when a lovely bright green cricket had
a word or two to me, to say.

how could this cricket be talking to...

Flitnit Mythology
The door was ajar and the flitnit sneaked in,
not so much sneaked as zipped in with a zing.
Flitnits are very hard to see.

The Night Garden
Creeping, crawling the time is calling,
night has come and the dark is falling.
Slinking, slithering the twilight moves,
as the squirming creatures hit their grooves.
Beneath the leaves the beetles advance,
while the worms break free to join the...

Sheep And Other Animals
I: Sheep
(A poem about Covid)
next door to 19 chimneys
and 'the dark satanic mills'
a flock of sheep is grazing
oblivious in the hills.
II: Other Animals
(They do all exist!)
goblin sharks and pangolins
sea pigs, star-nosed moles
mata matas, sugar...

Ordinary Hero
There goes my hero, he’s ordinary,
like in the Foo Fighters song
Carries no airs or graces,
makes me feel like I belong
A family member perhaps,
even a workmate, or friend
Someone who can...

The Gnalsmoob
An old codger who farted a lot -
of good etiquette didn’t know squat.
When I met him, his nose
started running. He chose
his new shirt to wipe off all the snot!
Well, a nitpicker also was he,
and I...

So I scratch it with my finger

But the itching continues to linger
I scratched my head till early morn

Your Past Should
Your past should be a reminder,
Of how far you have come.
Your past should be the key to the present,
Not to a ball and chain.
Your past should be a line in the sand,
That you never step...

A Night On Noah's Ark
Why did Noah take nits?
Let's pull this Ark to bits,
God let Noah take two nits,
Plus two mosquitoes, each proboscis,
Gave humans encephalitis,
What is worse than this?
Why they bring malaria, blip!
What is worse than this?
As well as...

And I approach our home
My heart starts to get heavy
Knowing I will be alone

when I open up the door
With the memories of your smile

Oversights
It must be tough to edit,
Searching calmly for mistakes,
Whether spelling or grammatical,
That every author makes.
Still, it bothers me when reading
And some errors have slipped by,
Causing me to wonder, how much
Did this edit-person try?
First an idiom...

One Small Step, One Giant Leap
With those who
want to test the waters,
and yet have no wish
to get their feet wet,
but wait to have their cake
(and eat it too)
handed to them on a plate,
I will neither split hairs
and pick nits
nor reason...
