A Break of Mermaids

a break of mermaids

posed for a Victorian artist

they had been paid well

and had been entered into a draw

the first prize being

a trip to the pyramids

 

Exit Snow

said the directions

but he stayed on stage

and sang in a falsetto manner

to an appreciative audience

before the curtain descended

 

Edinburgh Musical Grave

his was the only grave

in the cemetery

where one could hear live music

jazz on mondays and wednesdays

opera on thursdays and fridays

and choral music at the weekend

on tuesdays he rested

It is the tradition

To steal apples

From your neighbours trees

And cook them

Into a pie

For their enjoyment

This does not happen

In Kingston

It is the tradition

To steal apples

From your neighbours trees

And cook them

Into a pie

For their enjoyment

This does not happen
