On seeing Slim Gaillard in London three days before he died

He strode through Golden Square
shrouded in a huge woollen coat, scarf, beret, beard and a scowl.
I walked by him and as I did so.
He turned his weary old head and looked me in the eye.
“Oroonie”, and then he was gone.

Over and Vout!

Cover Version - Ozymandias

This is an old Shelley number called Ozymandias. It goes something like this...
1,2,3,4

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said--"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert....Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings,
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Cheers ta, thanks a lot!

To a Married Woman on Valentine's Day from St Valentine himself

On this day
I wish that
my plans for
time travel
were more
advanced than
they are.
Because if
I could
then I would
strap myself in
flick the switch
and deliver this
kiss in person.
