Have these on me, written for various competitions:
Paparazzi
Fame is a double-edged sword
As stars find as they venture abroad.
For a wink and a nod
Shows a wannabe god
As a grasping and talentless fraud.
Sweet
Seduction
With Galaxy, Mars and Starburst
We humans were gently coerced.
They came down from above
To make alien love
But fed us with Milky Way first.
Picture Perfect
Whatever you
put in your case
When travelling
from place to place,
Pack your
camera, take stills
As you tramps
o’er the hills;
Of your
presence, please, don’t leave a trace.
Books
A book that is pure electronic
Though some people find it a tonic,
Is no match for paper.
Curse this e-printing caper!
It really is purely demonic!
Words’ Worth
Literature’s
hard to define,
But it must
have some class in each line.
So while Amis
and Austen
Write books to
get lost in,
There’s plenty
I’ll have to decline.
Spoilt for Choice
The question is not what is worst,
But which deadly sin to try first.
It's so hard to decide
Between Lust Greed and Pride
When in Sloth I'm already well versed.
