madams, bold streetwalkers, 
picking pennies from the gutters 
as the merchants close their shutters

just a senior citizen
trawling the pathways of his computer,
when suddenly one day in a flash
an enchanting name jumped from the screen
into his unadjusted head,
whilst still in a daze
he had cut copied and pasted,

Wombles In Space
(Split Into two parts because I suddenly got all Limericky )

We oft ask ourself, the purpose of life
For desire pursuit, makes us not bliss rife

Pause awhile to ask who in truth we are
Driven by instincts, we’ve drifted afar

Deadened to conscience, how will we reform

To Whomsoever It May Concern,
(It concerns me nought)
This is just for me to keep
A track of the tricked mind's inmost--
A gist of sufferings I ever got--
All Happiness I discern.

I never stood for a loss--
I'm moving...

Why does the world look at God's Work with insolence
To be done cheaply and weakly and never to achieve excellence
While investing its great minds in humanistic intelligence

Naïve and still quite humble
Worldly wise but not yet grown
Each day would amuse again.

With Christmas in between
And Spring each Monday comes around

Where do I belong
In the jigsaw we call life,
