A fire burns© Gerald England
in the poet's soul
How many
on seeing the smoke
stop to warm themselves
By the side of the road© Gerald England
on Moor Top Hill
there lies
a dead moggy
It's been there
a week now
It's time
someone shifted it
Me ?
I shan't touch it -
can't stand the things !
I got some tissues with my coffee yesterday
and last week I got a lady's handkerchief !
Instant coffee -
is that what causes my colds ?
A theatre in Copenhagen
is the setting for this tale
List' to this tale and then
Learn its meaning without fail
A new comedy true to life
the clown dressed as a Bishop
a whore his faithful wife
and the laughter could not stop
Twas halfway through the second show
a better show there'd not been
in Denmark they do trow
Twas last that many have seen
Next day the show they did not hold
for backstage a fire broke
The clown the public told
They died laughing at his joke
