Poems 

By Trevor Mckell

 

CHRISTMAS
Christmas is a surprising time
     When presents appear that are mine
Now I am older, the situation has changed
     Extra kilos are all that I gain.


SHORT SKIRTS
Walking in the city on a sunny day
     One sees many people in a rush
Business men suited to earn their pay
     Delivery people darting in a hush

None warrant much attention
     But my eyes are darting in all direction
Looking at a young man in a smart shirt
     And then the amazing mini skirt.


UMBRELLA
All up and down and most are round
     Some are small while others huge

I prefer the golf umbrella
     Though that’s not a sport for this fella

That many are plain is not a worry
     As my Tucan handle sends all in a flurry.
