John Carter Brown Poems

There once was a gardener named Bert
Who kept digging around in the dirt;
And with no thought or care
It flew in the air
...

There was an old man from The Dingle
Who, the whole of his life had stayed single
He was handsome and smart
He was willing at heart
...

I am a careful surfer
I'm watchful where I go;
I slide around in cyber-space
Gently - nice and slow.
...

Fear crept into my mind that day
Each little twinge gave me creeps,
Battling the thoughts that came 'long my way
Rattling around in my deeps;
...

As the late daffodils begin to
Parade their yellow nodding heads above
Receding crocuses and snowdrops,
Imperceptible changes now give way to a
...

There he stands,
As pert as can be
Ruler of all,
In the sycamore tree;
...

Go on, I dare you, set yourself a challenge;
You'll be proud of the satisfaction it will bring.
Go on, I dare you, next time you get an itch,
Positively refuse to scratch the blessed thing.
...

Hello there, my name is Maggie-dog
And right from the start let me say
That the family have gone to the lakeside,
And most likely will be out all day.
...

I struggle these days with my contacts
My brain seems to go on a tilt;
I've friendships coming out of my earholes
My address book is full to the hilt.
...

Poetry is my comfort blanket
Holding me close in her arms;
Keeping me safe from the madness
I gladly submit to her charms.
...
