Peter Pan And Me


Some people have nick-
named me Peter Pan.
Like that selfish prick,
I'm a self obsessed man.

Yes I am.

Yes I am.

Yes,
Really,
I am.

Bum Poetry


I sent her,
For Christmas
A photograph
Of my arse.

She
Responded.
"How novel",
She said.

I sent her,
For I had to,
Some poems,
I love you.

She 
Responded
With silence,
Words unsaid.

She prefers
My bum,
To my
Bum
Poetry.

With True Love



Elderly couple, 
In the seats beside mine,
At the recital hall.
"If you fall asleep,
Am I to wake you?"

An evening out with
True love.

First Kiss


Breath like
A bar ashtray
At closing time, 
Like the dregs
Of a short,
Black coffee,
Like garlic
And mature
Parmesan.

If she wants to kiss me now
She'll never say
No.

In Case Of Emergency


"You've left this section blank. Who would you like called in case of emergency?"

"This is a hospital, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, in the case of an emergency . . . call a bloody doctor!"



In case of emergency
Please call
Bozo the Wonder Clown.
I saw him once, 
At a child's party.
He was terrific.
His number
Is in the Yellow Pages.

Moist Fat


Human brain,
Made mostly
Of moist
Fat.

Think
On that.
