There was a young fellow from Brighton
Who put on a mask folks to frighten
One look in the mirror
Sent him all a quiver
That scary young fellow from Brighton
But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams - Yeats
There was a young fellow from Brighton
Who put on a mask folks to frighten
One look in the mirror
Sent him all a quiver
That scary young fellow from Brighton
So… (26 Oct. 14)
So two became one
And the dark nights begun
Thick jumpers and soup
And nights by the fire
With cocoa and book
Until spring comes again
To brighten things up
Halloween (25 Oct. 14)
Halloween is on its way
The trick or treaters at your door
You wish they'd all just go away
So you can get up from the floor
The cat II (24 Oct. 14)
The cat sat on the mat
So the child's rhyme goes
Not this cat
This cat sat on the chair
The bed
The sofa
The dining table
The opened-out cardboard box
Anywhere but the mat!
The cat (24 Oct. 14)
The sleeping cat
Is all a-twitch
He's counting sheep
Or chasing bunnies.
But cats can't count
Or perhaps they can
And keep it secret
To fool the likes of me
Who think they can't.
