Farewell
The river runs through the lonely wood
And on the bridge I stand,
I think about my dearly departed,
Her ashes in my hand.
I slowly unscrew the lid from the urn
And say my last goodbye,
I'm about to sprinkle her liberally,
When "Stop that!" shouts this guy.
"You cannot throw your wife in the water,
Though it's her dying wish;
She may have ...

Poem
She said she would always be true
And love me forever,
That she'd stick to my side like glue
Through all kinds of weather,
And there was nothing she wouldn't do
To keep us together.
She said this was love without doubt,
And not some silly phase,
For every minute I was not about
Seemed like a hundred days,
In the end I had to kick her out,
Cause I hate cliches.

The Things We Do To See Each Other Naked
I once played strip-scrabble with a woman named Jude
It wasn't very revealing,
As at the end of the game she'd only removed
A shoe, a sock and an ear-ring.
I can't help believing it would've been greater
Had we worked the rules out properly,
But not to worry, we made up for it later,
During a game of Monopoly.

Against Loneliness
I married my brother's widow,
How depressing.
Aged 76
And still getting his hand-me-downs.

Is There Anybody Out There?
If Mars is uninhabited
Where do Martians come from?
If dragons never existed
How do we know what they look like?
At some point in the future
Everything will start going backwards
If nothing else,
This should make dieting easier.

Together We Are Many
I'm wearing this pink T-shirt
To show solidarity
With all the other people in the world
Who don't know how to use the washing machine properly.

Wilfred
He was a famous cricketer:
Scored a century on debut
Against Australia at Lord's,
And took 6 for 36,
Against India at the Oval.
Such things I found out later;
Back then, he was just the old guy
Who lived across the road,
And wouldn't let us get our ball back
When it went in his garden
