114 poems
Bill's Prayer
I never thought that Bill could say / A proper prayer;
Bird Sanctuary
Between the cliff-rise and the beach / A slip of emerald I own;
Bird Watcher
In Wall Street once a potent power, / And now a multi-millionaire
Book Lover
I keep collecting books I know / I'll never, never read;
Brave New World
One spoke: Come, let us gaily go / With laughter, love and lust,
Breakfast
Of all the meals that glad my day / My morning one's the best;
Breath Is Enough
I draw sweet air / Deeply and long,
Brother Jim
My brother Jim's a millionaire, / while I have scarce a penny;
Charity
The Princess was of ancient line, / Of royal race was she;
Child Lover
Drunk or sober Uncle Jim / Played the boy;
Class-Mates
Bob Briggs went in for Government, / And helps to run the State;
Clemenceau
His frown brought terror to his foes, / But now in twilight of his days
Comfort
Say! You've struck a heap of trouble -- / Bust in business, lost your wife;
Compassion
A beggar in the street I saw, / Who held a hand like withered claw,
Cows
I love to watch my seven cows / In meads of buttercups abrowse,
Dark Truth
Birds have no consciousness of doom: / Yon thrush that serenades me daily
Divine Device
Would it be loss or gain / To hapless human-kind
Drifter
God gave you guts: don't let Him down; / Brace up, be worthy of His giving.
Dunce
At school I never gained a prize, / Proving myself the model ass;
