The Penitent Prince

The Penitent Prince I stand in the loud Jubilee crowd, Next to a redhead named Harry, Whose balcony days Are over, he says; Choose wisely the person you marry.

Hangover
Posted on 27th May 2022
Hangover It's one of my sillier tricks, Hence the reason I'm getting so pudgy. Whisky and cider don't mix And I'm sure that I've swallowed the budgie.

A cocky prisoner
Posted on 16th Feb 2022
A cocky prisoner If you don't have permission, You face admonition, Said the judge, when she lectured the thief Caught after a spree; She let him go free, And he laughed in her face with relief. Called back to the dock, He got quite a shock, Hearing manners were never exempt. Then he burst into tears When he got seven years, No remission, sent down for contempt.

The Coward

The Coward A timid, nay craven, poltroon Did nothing to help his platoon Win the fight, He backpedalled And instead of a medal Was handed a big wooden spoon.

Payback Brief thoughts cast lifelong shadows. Small words leave the deepest scars, as harmonious birdsong on sunlit meadows, kind deeds calm the brouhaha.

Go for it

Go for it Ugg, this is brilliant, I can throw my attire, man, you're a genius, the invention of fire! Consequences though, it might harm the earth. Don't be a div, man think what this thing's worth. Now how about this, I've invented a gun. But have you considered repercussions, my son? This is amazing, discovering coal to power the planet and sell the earth's soul. Our inventions make billions, we don't ever rue it, collateral's for sissies, go for it, do it!

Green thinking

Green thinking
The world's overheating,
We'll call a big meeting.
Meet up for a knees-up in Glasgow.
We will have thousands there
And we'll all go by air,
Not too hard on the carbon, heigh-ho.
