A Girl and A Brain

Some verses — Said the girl — to the artificial brain “This first stanza of yours — is wholly lame. Your words are too lengthy — and so obscure That verse — is a soporiferous bore.” With some zeroes and ones — the brain replied In an obstreperous tone — it couldn’t hide. “I wrote…

Inscribed Truth

Short on words — Tall on impact — ‘Ban the Bomb’ — the showy placard said I waved mine wildly — above my head. I pushed and shoved — an ignorant boar Then whacked them directly — to the floor. ‘Equality for All’ — posed my sign I kept it high — in the brash sunshine. A voice was heard…

Bejewelled Blight

Not at all majestic — I show off — my diamond — crown All around — the nearby — town. The sad peasants — stop and — stare One does not — really — care. It nestles — my head — so neat My rich crown makes — me — complete. …

A Jokey Thing

Sour and Sweet — Priscilla sat on her favourite green stool and chewed her freshly picked rhubarb stick. It was deliciously sour.
