’Eaven It Ain’t

The tiny town of Elle-on-Sea in winter is chaotic
The unexpected happens all the time, and the exotic,
Impossible, illogical, the fanciful as well –
You never know what’s coming on a freezing day in Elle

Marketing

The advertisers tell us if
We buy their brand of cigarettes
We’ll soon be plagued by pretty girls
Blonde bombshells, redheads and brunettes

Charlotte the starlet’s a bit of a … prude
“Keep your clothes ON!” she was taught
A script that is crude, rude or lewd is eschewed
Her career – I fear – will be short

Caught in the Courtin’

The average wife loves the hard-working life
She smiles when he leaves all the chores for her
Why! she only got wed to put sheets on his bed
And to stop him from opening doors for her
