The Wedding Guest

She flew in from America

   To be with us that day,

We'd no idea who she was

   But didn't like to say.

Payback Time

Wandering through the village streets one dark and dismal night,
I freeze in fear and almost faint before an awful sight,
A teacher from my careless youth I could've sworn was dead,
Emerging like a phantom from the foggy dew ahead.

He sneers and snarls on seeing me and snatches up his cane.
I turn to run, but soon I see the effort is in vain
There looms a second in the path and two more by...

    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,

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.
