Falling in Love
Fell in love with a small press publisher
Wrote poems, yearned for her lips
She moved in with a literary critic
Now sends me rejection slips
Fell for my financial adviser
Bought her a string of worry beads
She spent all her time with those city
types
Ignored my investment needs
Gave up on ever finding true love
Adopted a cat, called her Nelly
She only has eyes for me now
As we spend our nights in front of the
telly
What’s Mine is Yours
Baby you can drive my car
I’ll even let you play my Gibson guitar
What’s mine is yours
That includes my chest of drawers
And my mobile snack bar
The Nature of Being
My plumber, the existentialist
Appeals to the universe with open palms
How’s he supposed to fit our new boiler,
he says
While he struggles with the concept of
time
And the nature of being
