About this ebook
I decided to re-publish my Poetry Book as I wasn’t happy with the layout of the First Edition. The poems that were in the First Edition are in here with additional poems not previously published.
This book represents my sense of humour and the romantic in me, I apologise in advance if it offends anyone it is not my intention.
There are swear words and references to sex but, it is mostly just humour and there to be enjoyed.
Any similar reference to anyone is purely coincidental .Enjoy

Bomb Shelter
Every day for days on end
The Germans with their bombers send
And every night without delay
In the shelter his wife would stay
Jack was pleased as he’d done his bit
He came home for leave with his army kit
"It’s good to hold you, I missed you so
It seems like ages so long ago."
Home cooking was grand as he wolfed it down
Then settled on the couch in his dressing gown
The night grew dark the curtains shut
Jack went to check on the Nissen hut
"It’s ok out there just in case we need
To run out there in fast high speed"
Up the stairs they went to snuggle down
And all was quiet in the town
At one o’clock the sirens started
Come on lass its time we departed
Halfway way down she stopped on the stair
Why have you stopped you silly old mare
My teeth I need them,
were her cries
They’re dropping bombs not bloody pork pies.
Blind Date
It was through a friend I found a date
I decided yes after a great debate
We arranged to meet by the station clock
I hoped she was ok, and I wasn’t in for a shock
At 7:45 I was standing with my flowers
It was only minutes but it seemed like hours
Then out of the crowd came a woman in white
At first I thought she looked alright
She came up to me and we said hello
I’d booked a table at a nice bistro
As we walked along her arm in mine
Taking in the view of the nice coastline
After a while she started to cough
Then she fell over and her leg fell off
Being concerned with much alarm
I reached down to help and pulled off her arm
I stood transfixed as she lay on the ground
Hoping shortly I would be homeward bound
I lent down again, my thoughts in doubt
Tried to help her up and false tits fell out
As they rolled down the bank, I was in dismay
Her body parts were in disarray
My blind date, I started to regret
As she lay there crying, all upset
Don’t you want sex
? I thought what a deflator
Throw it over here and I’ll shag it later
Landed
The plane landed the engines powered doon
The pilot ready for a night on the toon
What ya deeing ta nite
said the co-pilot Ron
Not realising the intercom in the plane was still on
In reply the captain said Forst I’m need a massive Shite
Before I de nowt in tha toon ta nite
Affta tha I’m shagging the arse off that stewardess
The stewardess hearing this was in distress
She ran in a panic towards the cock pit
But fell flat on her face from a foot that she hit
She looked up at the old lady how could it be worse
The old lady sighed tyek ya time pet he’s having a shite forst
Young Jack
Young Jack was all tense, his first day in the stores
It sold everything from shoes to wood doors
His first to assist was a little old man
How came in to buy a frying pan
The item was picked and the sale went through
The manager stormed in saying you haven’t a clue
When a customer comes in and leaves with something they bought,
Encourage them to buy something they didn’t need sought"
"Let me explain when the next one comes by
And I’ll show you
